Eminem about to be an owner in the AAF:wow:
Ebersol said he had “really, really high-level initial conversations” with “a couple of different people” who reached out after Eminem’s tweet, “including some people from his team.”

I thought they would have worked out these details before they started this.

Honestly this looks like a conflict of interest. The AAF was never billed or promoted as a developmental league when it was originally introduced to us, but it looks like the new investor wants it to be.

The reality is that the league would be fine as a place for undrafted players or players who fizzled out in the league so they can showcase their talents in a game setting and potentially get picked up somewhere else. They don't necessarily need to be a place for young NFL players who are riding the pine to play and then get called up.

He basically is trying to turn the league into minor league football
