The G League of the NFL. NFL taking notes from the best sports league.

Just got word from the league that a change has been made to the team from San Antonio:

Its named after the Apollo missions not the god. There were multiple Apollos.

Atlanta Legends with the crown is awfully close to Atlanta Kangz. What a waste.

Looks like it should be over the door of a third rate strip club or maybe a 70s disco

I thought just cities that didn’t already have NFL teams would participate in the AAF. They must have just meant cities with teams that have never won a Superbowl.

Memphis should be the Kings and have the Atlanta logo and colors in honor of Jerry Lawler and Elvis.
Or Memphis Mafia, in honor of Three Six.

Sweet names and logos. I like them all. The league is off to a good start to be taken seriously. How much do players make?

Supposedly the minimum will be 3 years at $250,000 total.
Also this:
Polian said a contract will include state-of-the-industry health insurance and an education stipend to any player who completes a year in the league.
The AAF will scout players who don't make NFL and CFL teams. They will be allocated to rosters based primarily on where they played college, if there is an AAF team within a reasonable radius. When that isn't the case -- which will often be true for players from the Big Ten and the Big 12 -- players will be allocated based on their most recent NFL or CFL team.

But Memphis has Mett and a ton of Tigers, so I guess I'm an Express fan now.
Yep.

Is that so? Then why does the helmet feature Apollo, the Greek god of archers on it instead of a Saturn V rocket?

The name Express is what the Grizzlies wanted to rename the franchise but the NBA wouldn't allow it due to it being associated with a corporate entity (FedEx). Always have like that name
