Maybe we can all kick in our stimulus checks?

Sad news today in alterna-football. According to ESPN.com, The All American Football League may have to postpone its inaugural season for a year due to extreme financial iffyness. I don't know how much the league needs (other than a TV deal) to get and stay afloat, but I'm thinking it needs more than the $300-600 per person ($600-1200 for married couples!) each of its coaches and players will be getting this spring.

Fortunately AFL and MLS are starting up. Oh, and baseball too, if you count that as a viable football replacement.

At least I may not have to weigh the pros and cons of the AAFL Sunday Ticket package (watch all 35 games!).
