Viper550 291 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 TSN's SportsCentre has acknowledged this league's existence, so at least they're getting attention. Plus, talking about nerves or not, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to be caught muttering this on-air...

hfiles 81 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 TNT is picking up two AAF games originally set to air on Bleacher Report. March 9th - Orlando Apollos (4-0) vs Birmingham Iron (3-1) March 23rd - Orlando Apollos (4-0) vs Atlanta Legends (1-3) https://awfulannouncing.com/turner/tnt-adds-more-aaf-broadcasts-br-live-skycam.html Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16931-2019-aaf-season/page/2/#findComment-222828 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frog 434 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 CBS is adding two more games to their broadcast network. https://awfulannouncing.com/cbs/cbs-is-adding-two-more-aaf-games-to-its-broadcast-network-from-cbs-sports-network.html Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16931-2019-aaf-season/page/2/#findComment-223368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfiles 81 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 If they keep having games like last night (Birmingham Iron beat the San Diego Fleet with a last second field goal) I think the ratings will only continue to improve. As a football fan, I'm glad that CBS sees that this is a viable lead-in for March Madness.

hfiles 81 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I also posted this in the March Madness thread, but it's relevant here too. AAF ratings for the TNT game are in: 340k total. The NFLN games weren't in the Top 50 in Sports for the first time. Not surprising given how much basketball was on this weekend.

Georgie56 3307 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Looks like it's one-and-done for the AAF. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16931-2019-aaf-season/page/2/#findComment-224216 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frog 434 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Welp, the AAF just folded. It's up to you now, Vince. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16931-2019-aaf-season/page/2/#findComment-224217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 2480 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I'm sad. My Apollos kicked ass this year. What's even sadder is that they can't even finish out the rest of their season. Two more games per team, plus the two conf. championship games and the championship game overall and now it looks like NONE of it will be played. Apollos are the very-shortened "unofficial" champions of the one and only AAF season, IMO.

susquvalleywgal 517 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 It took Johnny Manzel only one week and he shut down an entire football league. Impressive. // end snarky comment. But yeah, sad to see this happen. — Matt Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16931-2019-aaf-season/page/2/#findComment-224249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfiles 81 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 The most offensive part of the closure is that it is not finance related. They had enough money to finish out the season, but primary owner Tom Dundon decided to pull the plug early.

They had enough money to finish out the season, but primary owner Tom Dundon decided to pull the plug early. Turns out he only took over the league to acquire the rights to some tracking technologies the league was using. Once he secured them, he pulled the plug. Also the NFL and AAF couldn't come together on language for player loan agreements which without it in essence would prevent players from transferring between leagues. That would greatly hurt the AAF's talent pool which was poor as it is.

hfiles 81 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I really wish they would have finished out the season. At least I got some discounted merch from Dick's Sporting Goods after the closure. It's throwback now! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16931-2019-aaf-season/page/2/#findComment-224990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
