They should've hired some kickstarter board game developers to clean up these rules, man.

Is there anything better then watching a QB get annihilated by a corner blitz?

I really like their overtime rules and think they should be implemented immediately in all levels of football, but this defensive pressure box stuff is weird and almost certainly going to be tweaked before the end of the season.

(Overtime rules: Get the ball first-and-goal at the 10 and score. No field goals or extra point kicks allowed.)

It's the first year of the league. Things are absolutely gonna be tweaked.

A no-see 'em? No. There's absolutely no more beautiful play, simply because you see it about to happen for what seems like an eternity. It's a mini-horror movie.

I know it's troglodytic nowadays with what we know about trauma, but I also hate it when they go for the ball. I like it when they hammer them right between the shoulder blades at full speed.

I was thinking the drat same thing. I'm looking at the odds and basically they are mostly even or a score.

Or, perhaps they invited in the best of the handicappers to judge the epicness of this football spectacle.

They have lines for the 4th preseason game. They just adjust it when money gets bet. Really they don't care how much they lose if they can get football action year round it will be amazing for them.

The first version of the AAF's app will offer fans three basic features, according to Ebersol: the ability to livestream games for free, watch a fully animated version of the game ("Imagine 'Madden' meets 'Angry Birds' that's fully real-time.") and engage in games where users can, for example, guess the next play, win points and level up.

I can't in good conscience root for a team with Rahim Moore on it (despite him being one of my favorite players in the past 10 years) so I'm going to roll with the Hack Attack, go express. Final answer.
