The NFL released draft hats just to flex on the dying AAF

Basically, they put a big piece of cheese out in the middle of the floor... Snap. You're talking about the NFL in the middle of April. This is the nail in the coffin for the AAF. It's a flex.

The AAF died for financial reasons, though the NFL's dominance is undeniable.

The AAF died exactly like the XFL did

This is what we warned you about. This is exactly what happened with the XFL. It just died. And we all got excited. And then it died.

The AAF did indeed collapse mid-season in 2019, much like the original 2001 XFL (though XFL finished one season).

Tom Dundon only bought the AAF to acquire its gambling technology

Albert Breer said that the speculation was that [Tom] Dundon bought the league just to get access to their gambling app that they were building. So $70 million for a gambling app seems like a shrewd investment.

While rumored, Dundon has denied this was the sole reason, but the tech was a key asset in the liquidation.

The Alliance of American Football failed because they didn't have an 'L' for League in their name

That was the biggest, actually, problem, is they didn't have an L. Yeah. And you know what? Two vowels at the start of your league? Yes. Listen, these are things that we could have solved.

The league did indeed fail, though the name was likely not the primary cause.

Ben Johnson ran the illegal play wrong on purpose

I think Ben Johnson ran it wrong on purpose to put something on tape that then he can run a variation off of it.

This is an interpretation of coaching intent that cannot be definitively verified from the game broadcast.

The Bears are good

I think the Bears are good.

Whether the 2026 Bears are 'good' is ultimately a season-level subjective assessment.

The NFL is testing its way toward Tuesday and Wednesday games

Florio basically was like the NFL is testing out putting teams three times in a row on primetime because we're going to get to a point where they start playing Tuesday and Wednesday games. And I believe it.

This can be evaluated if the NFL introduces regular Tuesday or Wednesday games as described.
