There's been demand for a pro football spring league for quite some time, and someone finally chose to seize the moment: the Alliance of American Football, or AAF.
Similar to Saturday night's defensive struggle between San Antonio and San Diego, Memphis-Birmingham was a rock fight for about three quarters The Iron lead 9-0, but were absolutely stout on defense.
Throughout the rosters, football fans will note dozens of players that they might remember from the NFL field years ago, or even this past season. Spurrier said. "They saw enough good plays after the first quarter or so, and we finally put on a little bit of a show".
The Orlando Apollo's are a member of The Alliance of American Football; this league consists of eight teams from the East and West coast. So he's been with the team since before its players arrived.
The league's action continues Sunday and lasts 10 weeks. The Head Ball Coach took the sideline for the sixth different team in his coaching career.
The Action Network's Darren Rovell relayed the ratings for the opening night game on CBS was on par with the National Basketball Association game featuring Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder and James Harden and the Houston Rockets.
If you're involved with the AAF, you're extremely happy with these numbers. At 8 p.m., the Salt Lake Stallions play the Arizona Hotshots (NFL Network). Complaining about anything and everything is the easiest thing to find in 2019, yet a new football league of mostly castoffs was received well. The teams are fired up and ready to go, as fans across the world wait in anticipation for the ball to hit the kickers foot, and mark the start of the game. Ratings will be harder when the games are on CBS Sports Network and not CBS in primetime.
