Can’t find any details on it yet. Opened my ESPN app and it was just blank. Anyone else got any details?

I’m stunned. Just stunned. I remember reading MSB TV #s after week 1 and can’t believe it didn’t work out.

So the guy just pissed away 70 million?

Something isn't adding up here. It's a private enterprise, but I would love to see their financials.

Florio yesterday said this might happen because the NFLPA is balking at allowing the players to be loaned out to this league and the whole plan hinged on the AAFL eventually becoming the NFL's development league.

This league may not have lasted a season, but it will last in our memories forever!

What does that have to do with them not being able to play this weekend? This is where I call BS.

Later, with a number of partners, he co-founded a business focused primarily on subprime automobile financing called Drive Financial Services, LP, which eventually became Santander Consumer USA, a large U.S. consumer finance company majority held by Banco Santander. By the time he left in 2015, Dundon served as chairman and chief executive officer of the company. After leaving Santander, Dundon started his own firm Dundon Capital Partners and bought a 33-story building in downtown Dallas, to house it.[1][2] Dundon owns via the firm the majority of Employer Direct, a healthcare services company as well as a stake in Carvana.


So this guy made his money off of subprime investing and is now running a hedge fund. It's starting to make sense now. The AAF guys got swindled. Someone needs to figure out how much stock this guy owns in WWE.
