AAF Sunday night open thread: Johnny Manziel’s first game as Memphis takes on Birmingham

Welcome to the Sunday night AAF game, as Memphis takes on Birmingham. Normally, this would be another normal game, but tonight is special, because Johnny Manziel makes his return to American football after a short stint in the CFL. Juan de la Futbol hasn’t been seen in many years after a failed career with the Browns.

He joins the Express, who have had plenty of quarterback troubles this season. Their presumed starter, Christian Hackenberg, was terrible, while Zach Mettenberger suffered an ankle injury. Tonight’s starter will be former Troy QB Brandon Silvers, but Manziel should see some time as well.
