    It's great background noise and the commentary is absolute gold.

    I could have bought an 11 pull and have 1000 gems left over, but all I got was this silly title.

    If this league is gonna succeed they desperately need a better television deal. I’ve heard nothing but positives from people who actually watched the games, but finding them is an issue. NFL Network, CBS Sports Network, and streaming only is not the way to grow an audience.

    I would think all 3 of those things are great to actually having an audience.

    Building 5 years from now, maybe not. But for making sure you have a reliable X million viewers each week absolutely.

    Regular CBS, TNT, & CBS:AA appear to have been dropped from the rest of the season. Bleach Report Live has been added. I don't have cable so I've only been able to watch week 1. If I can't watch the rest of the season, I give no fucks.

    A report from the Atlantic states that the league is already broke, and was not going to be able to meet payroll in Week 2 were it not for an 11th hour investment of $250 million from NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon.

    Yikes.

    That investment has now made him the league's chairman.

    I think the investment was expected but delayed.

    Darren Rovell now reporting that the AAF actually missed payroll in Week 1, told players it was a “glitch”. Assumption is they were broke already at that point. God damn.

    Kind of weird to start a league without knowing whether or not you’ll be able to pay the players on time.
