ok
Tiki Barber... Ugh
Seems good.
Really well-coached it seems. Both SA and SD. Enjoyable first quarter for sure.
Hearing the replay official on the feed was pretty cool.
Sure was. Good innovation.
Way better than I expected
They will be a success if they can finish a game in under 2 hours including commercials. The NFL is like 3 hours +.
Me too! This is pretty darn good football. Got to give the coaches big props. These guys were ready to play.
Live stream football game...

It’s a lot better than listening to a rent-a-ref guess how the play is going to be called.
Oh boy you said it!
Cool, I’ll check out their Sunday games.
Thanks for bringing it up.
Thanks for heads up, I had not kept track of that.
Hope they get good ratings.
Hopefully none of that kneeling nonsense.
• There are no extra points — touchdowns will be followed by two-point conversion attempts — and no kickoffs. Every team will start at its own 25-yard-line.
• Also not allowed are onside kicks. If a team wants to get the ball back, it can attempt a fourth-and-12 play from its own 28. If converted, it keeps the ball. These plays are only allowed if a team is behind by 17 points or more, or in the final five minutes of a game.
• Games can end in a tie. Each team gets one possession in overtime, starting with a first-and-goal from the 10. Field goals aren’t allowed.
• The games will also be shorter. There will be no television timeouts and there will be a 35-second play clock, compared to the NFL’s 40 seconds.
• The officiating crew will include nine members. The ninth member is described as a “SkyJudge.” The official will be in the press box and has the power to correct errors during the game relating to player safety and pass interference in the final five minutes of the game.
If the quality continues as good as this first half between San Diego and San Antonio, there’ll be some very good ratings. Really good football, and the AAF doesn’t seem to be making any radical changes, like other upstart leagues have. No kickoffs, the teams just take the ball on the 25, but that’s not much different than NFL kickoffs just going into the end zone. Otherwise, pretty much what we’re familiar with. Except better than last Sunday’s snorefest.
I’m checking it out.
I’ve got ATL and ORL.
