Foolish Reporting From the AAFL Post-Draft Party

We had the good fortune to attend the post-draft party for AAFL Team Florida. We had a fantastic time meeting former Florida greats, including Travis McGriff, who invited us. We also bent the ear of a self-effacing Chris Leak, whom we thanked for that whole National Championship thing last year. Perhaps the most absurd comment overheard as we mingled was "Dude, Chris Doering is so drunk right now." Doerings got a vodka! Doerings got a vodka! That's something you don't hear every day.

Yes, we also saw Darren "D'Lish," the best sports agent we know. And, in fact, the only sports agent we know. (Look, dude, a shout-out.)

The event was surreal, owing in no small part due to the quinceanera going on nearby, which seemed at times to blend with the AAFL party in a confusing way. The ratio of skanky women to players was extraordinarily high. A plethora of apparent hookers attended, wearing a variety of animal print items and almost a whole square foot of fabric each. We can honestly say we've never seen so many zebra skin stoles-- anywhere. Tempted as we were to take photos, we refrained out of fear of getting nailed in the eye with a stiletto. Even more hilarious was the cluster of scantily clad women lurking outside the ropes, held at bay by the bouncers. Just fantastic.

All in all, a great time, and a hilarious one. We are totally rooting for the AAFL to succeed.

Is there a nobler death than sacrificing yourself for a skank to look hilarious?

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 league, 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 . . .
