With no NFL event scheduled until the NFL Combine at the end of the month, now is a pretty good time to kick off an NFL-offshoot league. Thankfully for us football junkies, the Alliance of American Football will premiere on Saturday. The games will be televised, some of the rules will be fascinating to finally see, and the talent... well, the talent is league’s biggest remaining question to answer.
Of course, it’s hard to enjoy a football league if you don’t have a team to root for. The AAF has eight different teams, all of which will be in action this weekend: the Atlanta Legends, Birmingham Iron, Memphis Express, Orlando Apollos, Arizona Hotshots, Salt Lake Stallions, San Antonio Commanders, and San Diego Fleet.
