I love how miserable Spurrier looks in snow. This is worth watching alone.

I’ve figured out Orlando’s QB Gilbert. He is a good version of Mike Glennon.

AAF in jeopardy of folding, says majority owner

The majority owner of the Alliance of American Football told USA Today Sports that league is in danger of folding without help from the National Football League Players Association.

Tom Dundon, who became the AAF's chairman last month, told USA Today Sports in a recent interview that the NFLPA is not cooperating with the AAF by refusing to allow the first-year league to use young NFL players.

"If the players union is not going to give us young players, we can't be a development league," Dundon told USA Today Sports. "We are looking at our options, one of which is discontinuing the league."

Seems like a lame cop-out. No way they didn't anticipate this. Why would the NFLPA support a development league of any kind when you have the convenience of college. They'd start a slippery slope of undermining current players with things like free agency if they'd open the door to the possibility of a recognized minor league of any kind.

Looks like this was 100% Dundon's call.

Sources tell The Action Network that players will be told around 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday that this is their last day. Other employees in football operations will be told their last day is Wednesday.

Tom Dundon effectively bought a majority stake in the league in mid-February, with the league announcing his commitment of $250 million as debate swirled around its ability to meet payroll.

Ebersol and Polian’s plan was to develop the league for three years on its own before becoming a feeder system to the NFL. Dundon, however, wanted to create that minor league relationship immediately and sought to use the leverage of folding the AAF to get a deal with the NFL Players Association to better insure a flow between leagues.

As it stood, the NFL collective bargaining agreement would not allow several of Dundon’s asks, including a flexible system between AAF players and NFL practice squads.

According to sources, the AAF had a call with reps from the NFLPA on Monday and a potential relationship showed some signs of life, so Tuesday’s news came as a surprise to some league executives.

While Dundon funded the league payroll, sources say he did not pay vendors that worked with the AAF, many of whom are still looking for their money. It’s of debate what party — either Dundon or the first ownership group, which was diluted by Dundon’s investment — should foot the vendor bills.

When Dundon agreed to back the league, sources say he took unilateral control of the board, meaning any decision he wanted to make, including folding the league, was his to make.

The XFL is now looking at purchasing the scraps (players & equipment).
