Christian Hackenberg benched...in the AAF.

That's probably the end of this career, right?

Most impressive catch the AAF will see all year, 83 yard bomb

Terrible throw. The dog had to slow down. He couldn't catch it in stride.

Feels like a lame suit.

There might be interest in Manziel if he's "clean and clear".

In other Manziel news, his wife is being accused of cheating in a marathon, and it seems it's probably true.

I read that yesterday. Seems pretty clear-cut that she didn't run the whole thing.

Bad week for the Manziel family, and pretty surefire proof that they are the pieces of shit people have said since his Texas A&M days.

I watched some today. Wasn't bad. The lack of kickoffs was nice, and it means less time for commercials.

Manziel not good enough for Canadians, but finds a home in the AAF

AAF may fold. Surprise factor low

The NFLPA had no official response to Dundon's comment, according to USA Today Sports. But an anonymous NFLPA official cited numerous concerns with allowing its players to play in the AAF, including potential injury risk and violations of the collective bargaining agreement.

Unsigned NFL players, including practice-squad players, are free to join the AAF at any time. But the AAF would need the NFLPA's cooperation to acquire a practice-squad player who currently is signed to a futures contract with an NFL team.

Dundon, who also owns the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes, made a $250 million investment in the AAF last month after the league reportedly was in danger of not making payroll.

The eight-team AAF, billed as a development league, kicked off the weekend following the Super Bowl. The league is seven games into its 10-game regular season.

That's a shame, but we knew 1-3 of the three new leagues would fold pretty quickly.

The AAF provided us some decent highlights. Hopefully they will find a way to save the league. A better TV deal would help.

And how fucked is it that the NFLPA would be hampering their efforts? Why not allow them to grab practice squad guys? That's win-win-win for the players, the AAF, and the NFL.
