The first official night of action in the Alliance of American Football is in the books. Personally, I thought it was pretty enjoyable. I caught the first half of the game between the San Diego Fleet and the San Antonio Commanders, and I think the league is off to a pretty good start. The on-field product is well ahead of what the XFL was when they gave this a go, and there’s one particular aspect of the game that the NFL should adopt at their first available opportunity.
Each AAF officiating crew has a replay official that’s up in the booth, as the NFL does.
