I mentioned the Orlando Apollos team earlier as they bear a visual resemblance to the Amsterdam Admirals, Warner's old team in NFL Europe. But, they are QB'd by an ex Ram too. Garret Gilbert is their QB and actually looked pretty good.

Most of the teams have nicknames that don't work for me though. Fleet, Iron, Commanders, Hotshots, Legends, Express...? The only one that sounds like a real name is the Stallions and like the Express, it's too attached to a name that's already been used IMO.

Yeah 2 of the best qb performances came from former Rams QBs. That Perez story is a great one.

I remember people rooting for him but I have to read up on him. Haven't got to the highlights of his game yet.

Are all the AAF games going to be on Sundays?

Hotshots is kinda cool. Name, I think, comes from the expert firefighters who handle the real aggressive fires.

I like "Iron"...but then I'm a big fan of all the necessary vitamins and minerals.

I’m not sure if the Rams are officially aligned with Fleet, but the Steelers have made it official with Iron.



The Alliance of American Football kicked off its inaugural season on Saturday night. For those of us already in withdrawals from the lack of Pittsburgh Steelers’ football, it might be a nice filler. But if you weren’t sure who to root for, we might be able to help. The Steelers are actually an affiliate team for the Birmingham Iron.

What does this mean? It’s all about player allocation. Here’s how the three-phase player allocation process works in the AAF.

Keep it sticky'd for now. It doesn't conflict. After their season, perhaps it get's it own forum, , , or goes to "other sports' if it doesn't resemble NFL football.
