February 29th- Team Florida took some big hits these past few weeks as draftees WR Ryan Moore, CB Tay Cody, and DT Thomas Smith were all picked up by teams in the CFL. Team Tennessee took the biggest hit as QB Tee Martin decided to retire (Good luck finding a QB guys). WR Freddie Milons also decided to call it quits as well. Team Florida did acquire LB Greg Favors, a long time NFL vet. http://www.allamericanfootballleague.com/transactions.php

Supplemental Draft

February 16th- The AAFL conducted a supplemental draft today. The supplemental draft was created to select players who have been recently cut by NFL teams. Team Florida selected ten players. Notable names included former FSU stars Tay Cody & Todd Williams, Miami star Mike Rumph, and even Chris Leak's brother CJ! The rest of the names include: Sacha Lancaster (Arkansas), William Beckford (Rutgers), Keyonvis Bouie (FIU), Willie Offord (South Carolina), Justin Rascati (James Madison), Jason Hunt (Cincinnati), and Brian Ross (FSU).

News and Notes from the Draft Party

-Team Florida has announced that they will be using a 3-4 defensive scheme

-It was wierd seeing Peter Warrick holding an orange and blue jersey, but he seems comfortable in his new surroundings

-There were alot of no name players selected before former famous college greats that we all remember. Yet, this only goes to show how great talent from small schools can be overlooked by the NFL and scouts. Also, remember, alot of these guys have not played football in a long time. How much time since then have they put into training?

-There already seems to be a rivalry developing between Team Florida and Team Tennessee.

-Kresser and all of the players that were protected by Team Florida met with fans before and after the draft

-The New Helmets were revealed and they look great! All of the teams feature a logo of their state with colors that are familiar in their area. Team Florida's helmets are basically like the old Gator F helmet with the following exceptions: the helmet is blue instead of white and a logo of the state of Florida is featured behind the orange F.

-Fan attendence was extremely high; the building was packed.
