Anyone watching the Alliance of American Football league

The games start this weekend and they have some pretty big names behind the new league. Quite a few NFL scouts were present during their training camp. Wouldnt be surprised to see a handful of these guys drafted when their season ends in April.

The what?

Is it going to be broadcasted on any stations or just available through internet?

I'd like to give it a chance, but I'm not going to make plans around it.

I thought about getting season tickets, last time I checked it was 75$ for all the games and comes with other stuff I believe.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll probably record it and give it a chance to see how I like it.

What are people expecting? More like an Arena League type of ball or a serious Developmental League where Defense will actually matter?

Yep, I'll try to watch. Some of those rules changes sound great, esp the onside replacement:

- Play clock: The AAF's play clock will be 35 seconds, five seconds shorter than the NFL's. Anything less, Ebersol believes, will actually make the games longer due to sloppier play that results in stoppages through incomplete passes, penalties and the like.

- Timeouts/challenges: There are no television timeouts during games and an ongoing effort to have fewer commercials to reduce overall game time to roughly 150 minutes instead of 180 minutes in the NFL. Additionally, replays will be limited to two coach's challenges for either team.

- Kickoffs: There are no kickoffs; instead, teams will start drives from their own 25-yard lines. In lieu of an onside kick, each team will have a "fourth-and-10" from their 35-yard line. If the offense converts for a first down, it keeps the ball. These alterations were designed not only with player safety in mind, but as a reaction to what NFL fans find to be among the least interesting parts of the game.

- Two-point conversions: There will be no extra point attempts after touchdowns, only two-point conversions.

- Overtimes: To help keep games within a two-and-a-half hour time slot, there will be one overtime session. Each team will start an offensive possession from the 10-yard line, and just like in regulation, two-point conversions are required. Games can end in a tie after the overtime period.

Zero interest. Bring back NFL Europa and then it's a maybe.

I started a thread on this a while back. Pretty slick some of the rules. I’ll check it out
