What a week in the Alliance! If this is the first time you’ve tuned into the Alliance you chose a great weekend.

What an amazing game! Despite the loss, I came away excited about the future with Mettenberger at the helm.

News

The San Diego Fleet is at it again. A few weeks ago, they usurped the name “Fleet Speak” from a well-known podcast. This past week they selected a team captain that has strong ties to the LA Charges which is rather controversial in San Diego.

Johnny Football has been banned from the CFL and is expected to work out for The Alliance. His rights would belong to San Antonio.

Due to a recent lawsuit, alleged expansion plans have been revealed to the public.

Updates

You can now find the streaming at https://fullpresscoverage.com/aaf and https://afnn.net.

We have another listener voicemail from Decoda.

The latest episode of the Shipyard had Fleet President, Jeff Garner and Express President, Kosha Irby. Check it out at https://www.theshipyardsd.com.

I recently learned that play-calling duties were given to Bobby Blizzard after week 1.
