Jon Joseph Moderator No. 4 Share Posted May 12 In the NFL, will the AFL eat and destroy the NFL or vice versa? How about "NO!" BTW, Show Me the Money! It may not be kind to the Cyclones of the CFB world but the marketplace will decide which ACC and B12 teams make the final cut.

If we are making incredible money...why would we mess it up? 2 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
