That Birmingham game was really good. I'm liking that team. GO IRON!
Also that DT/Edge guy number 94 from Salt Lake is a beast. He was all over the field, I have a feeling we will see him on NFL Sunday's pretty soon.
Go San Antonio Commanders!!!
Isn't Birmingham "assigned" to the Steelers?
Don't know how to word it but the Steelers are one of 4 NFL teams listed for the Iron's "assigned area":

Yep. Teams are “assigned” to schools and pro teams. Kinda knocked the shine off the league for me when I learned that.
It has to do with the team they played for. I saw a flow chart last week on how they assign players to which teams. Starts with college, then team, then something else. The teams aren't affiliated with any certain NFL team like a developmental hockey league. I didn't really grasp the concept, though.
It may depend on where they last played. Ill try to find the chart again later
So far this league is looking good.
Next season more talent should be coming. I can see some players from the CFL signing to play in the AFF.
I see this league becoming like any minor league baseball franchise. It will always keep a fanbase of regular diehards and we will see some major players come through, but this will always be a little brother league to the NFL. The talent pool is 2nd chance NFL and CFL guys and not quite ready college players. Fun but meh.
