What do y'all think of the All American Football League?

Here is their official website

Do you think it will have some staying power?

I think as long as people aren't expecting perfection immediately. Remember the XFL? We watched every televised game. They weren't bad, but it wasn't at the NFL level. They only got one year. It would have improved with time (most likely).

I hope it works. I really like their policy on "grads only." If they can keep the cost to the fans at reasonable levels they have a pretty good shot at success.

I wonder if the NFL will get behind this league in someway. As it is right now there is no NFL "developmental" league. I think last year was the last year of NFL Europe/Germany. I would think the NFL could work out some system with the teams that may allow teams to send reserves to play in the league and develop their skills.

I hope the league lasts and is popular, the football season is too short the way it is. It would be nice to watch football Spring/Summer.

I love the idea and hope to go see some games. I'm still anxious to know what the team names are.
