I don't understand the whole "we need practice squad players almost no one has ever heard of to survive"

If you really need players to move the ratings, then they should be going after guys like Mettenberger, who had a good NFL season, followed by a bad one and then disappeared. Even the Trent Richardson experiment has worked out pretty well for them. If anything, they should try chasing regional guys who were good enough to have Division 1 interest, but couldn't put together the grades. Along with guys who the NFL think are undersized.

I crown thee, Arizona Hotshots, as AAF Interim Champeens. They finished 1st in the toughest division in AAF history AND were the only team to beat the Apollo's.

Retiring on top. The way it should be. Ride off into that desert sunset you beautiful beautiful bastards.

Wow. They really didn't even give themselves a chance did they? That's really too bad. You'd think before launching they would've collected enough money to get through the first loving season. This is just embarrassing

It sounds like it's strictly dundon pulling the purse away, they said after his investment they had enough to keep the league going for like a decade or something

I think the idea was if they got NFL practice squad guys the NFL pays their salary so the AAF doesn't have to

If the AAF really didn't need that cash infusion at the beginning of the season then letting Dundon in is basically a Scorpion and the Frog tale.

Did the NFL really "support" it, though, or rather "allow it to exist through a loose affiliation with the league and promise not to sue them out of existence?

It was supposed to support it. It was supposed to be a feeder league. I mean each AAF team had 4 NFL franchise affiliations so yeah it should have...but here we are. I wonder how much of this is due to Condon being a snake.
