The Austin Aztek are leaving for Orlando, Florida.
Speaking strictly for myself, I have to say, “Who?”
Edited to add 2: Breaking! The Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz (stet) will not be playing in the AFL next year.
Speaking strictly for myself, I have to say, “The AFL? I thought they folded last year.”
Edited to add 3: The above led to a discussion with Lawrence about the various developmental leagues; for example, did the players actually have to pay to play in the developmental leagues? The Information Supercollider is unclear, but it did lead me to this.
The New United States Football League? Seriously, guys; the best you could come up with is to associate yourself with a legendary failure?
Bonus: The San Antonio Gunslingers.
And that’s not even the most bizarre Gunslingers story, but I’m leaving the footlocker one out, out of deference to the more sensitive members of my audience.
Edited to add 4: I was going to post a whine, “When are the 30 For 30 movies coming out on DVD?” but I checked the Google. It looks like the first 15 are coming out December 7th. And that’s wonderful, because the first 15 include “Small Potatoes: Who Killed the USFL?“, Barry Levinson’s “The Band That Wouldn’t Die“, “The Legend of Jimmy the Greek“, and “Without Bias“. I don’t have cable, and iTunes seems to be pretty spotty about making the 30 For 30 films available, so this is relevant to my interests.
