Persistently Foolish with the AAFL

The Persistent Fool is pleased to announce that we will be partying with the AAFL's Team Florida at the post-draft party on Saturday. AAFL? You have no idea what this is? Neither does anyone else.

The AAFL is a new professional football leagu
e, destined to die after one or two seasons. The franchises are all based in college towns, and all players must hold four year college degrees. "To the extent practical, graduates of host universities will play for the team hosted by their alma mater." There are currently six teams-- none have nicknames: Team Florida, Team Arkansas, Team Alabama, Team Michigan, Team Tennessee, and Team Texas.

We would love it if the AAFL actually survived- it would give us football to obsess with in the off-season (though, I guess it's the All-American Football League's ON-season).

How did we score an invite to party with former Gator greats such as Shane Matthews and Chris leak? We'd like to say it was because Team Florida is trying to curry favor with the critically important media outlet that is The Persistent Fool.

...right. It's actually thanks to a certain Bar Association. Hooray for special privileges!

We'll update you on the event on Saturday . . .
