In 100 words or less, what is this?
Another football league. Similar rules to NFL, with no kickoffs.

If he intercepts in the end zone, isn’t touched and throws the ball out of the end zone, isn’t that fumbling out of the end zone and therefore a safety?
I thought the same thing.
Guess we were the only ones.

I was entertained by the snippets I saw purely for the gladiatorial nature of the game. I don’t think the refs were given flags so I was entertained

They utilize a 'Skyjudge' that can override or call any penalty missed on the field. A feat deemed ImPoSsIBlE by the NFL and its supporters.

This league, like the XFL before it (and possibly once again), will eventually fold. The bright side is the NFL will likely adopt some of the more attractive innovations such as the sky judge and hopefully removing kick offs so the offense gets the ball on the 25 immediately following a TD/field goal without a commercial break. The NFL adopted the sky cam following the XFL's demise. They should've adopted the hilarious "coin toss" scramble too.

Why is this on NFLN? Does the NFL have a stake in the AAF?

Give me a reason to toss the AAF into the rubbish bin.

I don't often day dream about being filthy rich; but the idea that someone can just throw a quarter of a billion dollars into the shitter like it's nothing is just incredibly astounding.

Where was the league expecting revenue from? Did they think attendance would pay the salaries? I don’t get it.
