AAF in the final seconds
Just 8 weeks into their inaugural season the Alliance of American Football,
more commonly known as The AAF has stopped all football operations. The league
was billed as being a place where guys that were done with college and not
quite good enough to be on NFL rosters could still play the game they love and
possibly get better to earn their way back into the NFL.
Even having big name coaches like Mike Singletary and Steve Spurrier and
well a few players that are known such as Trent Richardson, Trevor Knight, Nick
Novac, and Scott Tolzien it still was not enough to keep the league a float.
The product being put on the field proved to everyone that the talent was let
go from the NFL for a reason. The AAF made a final desperation move by signing
Johnny Maziel less than a month after he was released from The Canadian
Football league for violation of contract.
Johnny Manziel has been a topic of conversation in Cleveland and the
football world since he was a Heisman Trophy winner in 2013. He was drafted by
the Cleveland Browns and led them to a 7-9 season. Manziel was let go by the
Browns after spending 2 season with the team. The Canadian Football League then
signed him but that did not even last a whole season. He was let go and banned
from ever playing in the CFL again. He then was signed by the Memphis Express
and only played two games and know the league is almost done. They are stopping
all football operations as of today.
When the AAF started the weekend after the Super Bowl, I was kind of excited
but very quickly the game play became boring and I lost interest. I hope that
the players can find a job after the league shuts down. I encourage these
players to keep working hard continue to grind to get back into the game
