The Birmingham hockey team is, in fact, called the Bulls. However, the original Birmingham Bulls of the WHA moved from Toronto, where they were the Toronto Toros. They moved to Birmingham in the mid-70's and kept their logo; they are not named for Bull Connor.

I mean, yes, I knew that they did not deliberately name their hockey team after a megaracist.

I downloaded the app during week 1 because I wanted to see live stats and seeing the players move in real time in the app seemed like a fun little novelty but I couldn't find any stats and the players moving around thing was broken when I tried to look at it so I uninstalled. If they were relying on their app for a big chunk of their revenue then they really fumbled it.

The XFL (classic version) did want to name Birmingham's team the Blast, but they changed it to Bolts at the last minute when someone reminded them about Birmingham's unique history with bombings and such.

I just looked and the app is already out of the Top 200 in the iOS store

It would own if this was all scripted and agreed upon in advance, and the XFL is just establishing their heel character. Hack is gonna defect to the XFL Hollywood Hogan style.

I feel like the Alliance really wanted Hackenberg (and Richardson) to be the faces of the league because they have the most name recognition and are probably some of the highest draft picks playing in the Alliance. So it wouldn't surprise me if someone's pushing for him to keep getting more chances. Or Silvers and Mettenberger are legally blind.

The only really ideal move that didn't happen was bercovici gets unpicked or protected and he goes to arizona. Hack was a high pick but nobody in any of the AAF towns gave a poo poo about him and memphis probably hates his guts now

I mean I dont know, maybe the AAF is still slightly above Hack's current skill level. I bet he could do some major damage if his agent can get him in a pee-wee league

He was so loving bad last week, essentially proving that week 1 was not a fluke (not that anyone really thought it was). Like, dude cannot hit even the simplest throws. Every single throw goes wild on him, and if it happens to actually pass nearby the receiver it's just blind chance that it does so

They should put their RB at quarterback and just run the wildcat until they find someone better. Their run game and defense is actually legit. Hackenberg is just a waste of downs with a side probability of interception
