The Alliance of American Football was fun while it lasted, but it’s been almost nothing but ugly since. While it’s been a nice story that the fledgling but failed league managed to produce over 40 players to date who have signed with NFL teams since they shuttered their doors, the group co-founded by Bill Polian and Charlie Ebersol has been taking public relations hit after hit.
The league folded a couple of weeks ago, of course, after Tom Dundon, the owner of the Carolina Hurricanes, elected to do so. Dundon was not involved with the AAF at all until after the first week of football had already been played.
