Do they have any kind of onside kick? yes Teams wishing to attempt an onside kick must indicate this to an official before the play. The teams will be permitted to line up using traditional NFL rules, 10 yards apart from the spot of the kick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if I'm right that you're Albion, PA, the WJET broadcast towers in Summit are well within range Albion, NY. Got the service back and have watched a bit of the second game, as much as the wife and kids would allow. Pretty good football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in that the have already made more revenue in tickets before kickoff than the AAF did the entire year should show there is a market.

astb41 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) With all the NFL talk by the commentators it actually feels like a minor league to the NFL, which is fine with me. The first time around I remember them acting better than or like the NFL didn’t exist. Definitely feels much more polished than the AAF. The fan turn out is interesting. Wonder what made the crowds show up for this rather than the AAF. it would be cool if they could get 1-2 year college kids to come play and get paid before the NFL. Like a Trevor Lawrence.
