Condolences for the AAF as Carlos and Dave have some final thoughts on the little league that Tom Dundon stomped out of existence. Does this actually make sense in the long run and what impact, if any does this have on the XFL happening in 2020? Aside from that the usual news and notes and the “triumphant” return of the Pretentious Cross-Country Running (Soccer) report with Dave.
