I guess I stick with the Memphis express because there's no way Zach Mettenberger doesn't win the starting job and propel them to greatness.

Better stay in line when
You see a Pavel like me shinin

Do you like knockoff Raiders colors?




Do you miss the days of Trent Richardson missing holes like this?




Do you like having an assistant coach looks like she might be instead trying to be Mega Man villain in case this league doesn't work out?



Are you morbidly curious to see if Birmingham can make the biggest stadium in the league look more full than a LA Rams game?


Are you ready to dress your infant in the colors of a team that may not exist this time next year?


Well I have the perfect team for you gentle goon!

The Birmingham Iron:



The Iron are led by head coach Tim Lewis. Lewis was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the first round in 1983 as a CB. He was really good and then... well...

quote:

CB TIM LEWIS

Before the injury: Lewis was the Packers’ first-round pick (No. 11 overall) in 1983. He had prototypical size and was one of Green Bay’s best players throughout a three-year period during which the Packers had 8-8 records in 1983, 1984 and 1985. Lewis had five interceptions as a rookie, seven interceptions as a second-year player and four interceptions in 1985. Lewis still holds the franchise record from a 1984 interception that he returned 99 yards for a touchdown against the Los Angeles Rams.

When everything changed: Sept. 22, 1986 vs. Bears.

How it happened: During a Monday Night Football game, Lewis was covering Chicago receiver Willie Gault, who hauled in a 6-yard catch before the collision. Lewis, then 24, lost all feeling in his extremities and didn’t regain it until later at the hospital. Lewis actually suffered a similar injury in 1984, though it only kept him out of two preseason games. Packers head coach Forrest Gregg assumed this second time would be the same as the first in that it would keep Lewis out only a week or two. However, Lewis was told by doctors to retire after they diagnosed him with a narrow spinal canal. "It was something I was born with," Lewis told reporters at the time. "The doctors said a shock like that again might sever the spinal cord."

From then to today: A year after the career-ending injury, Lewis began his next step in life as a football coach. His first work came at Texas A&M, followed by a three-year stint as defensive backs coach at SMU before he held that same position at the University of Pittsburgh and then with the Pittsburgh Steelers. From 2000-06, Lewis was an NFL defensive coordinator, first with the Steelers and later with the New York Giants. He’s most recently been the secondary coach of the Carolina Panthers and defensive backs coach of the Seattle Seahawks and is currently the secondary coach of the Atlanta Falcons. Lewis has been a coach in every season since his injury.

Yikes.

We saw defensive line assistant coach Lori Locust already, let's check in with the coach who's going to fix Trent Richardson.



:stonk:



Still not enough for you to root for the Iron?

Our kicker is Nick Novak, who's been cut by the Chargers 3 times, so you know there's going to be some blown kicks.

We got Chris Davis, who you may know as this guy:
https://youtu.be/Y8oH8QcYIm8

Yes, the fact that a guy who ripped out Bama's heart and soul is going to be on a team in Alabama makes me happy on the inside.

There are some other players and names and people with fully functioning arms and legs but if this picture Ryan White (#31) doesn't convince you, nothing will.

Me: Good Morning.

AAF: Good morning, Sir. Welcome to the Alliance of American Football

Me: Ah thank you my good man.

Owner: What can I do for you, Sir?

Me: Well, I was, uh, sitting on the couch watching the Super Bowl when suddenly I came over all disappointed.

AAF: Disappointed, sir?

Me: Disgusted

AAF: Eh?

Me: The Patriots won and it was a poo poo show.

AAF: Ah, angry!

Me: In a nutshell. And I thought to myself, 'a little startup league would do the trick. So I set threw my cat through the TV, set fire to my Pats fan neighbors truck and infilitrated your place of purveyance to avail myself to the winderful sport of gridiron!

AAF: Come again?

Me: I want to watch some football.

AAF: Oh, I thought you were complaining about Christian Hackenburg.

Me: Oh, heaven forbid: I am one who delights in all manifestations of the high-round draft bust!

AAF: Sorry?

Me: 'I think it's funny how much he sucks.

AAF: So he can go on playing, can he?

Me: Most certainly! Now then, some football please, my good man.

AAF: (lustily) Certainly, sir. What would you like?

Me: Well, eh, how about a team in Massachusetts

AAF: I'm, a-fraid we don't have one sir.

Me: Oh, never mind, how about Rhode Island

AAF: I'm afraid nobody has ever had that sir. Maybe next year?

Me: 'T's Not my lucky day, is it? Aah, Connecticut?

AAF: Sorry, sir.

Me: Tish tish. No matter. Well, stout yeoman, how about a team affiliated with Philly then?

AAF: Ah! It's beeeen on order, sir, for two weeks. Was expecting it this morning.

Me: Anywhere else in New England?

AAF: Possibly someday sir, yes. Today the bandwagon broke down.

Me: So no Vermont?

AAF: Nope.

Me: New Hampshire?

AAF: Nope.

Me: Maine?

AAF: Nope.

Me: ...New York?

AAF: (long pause) Nope.

Me: How about a teams with an exciting, fun to watch offense?

AAF: Ah! We have one of those sir!

Me: You do? Excellent!

AAF: It's a bit run heavy.

Me: Oh I like it run heavy.

AAF: Actually it's very run heavy.

Me: No matter, fetch hither Team 3-yards And a Cloud of Dust!
