Had anyone seen the new American football league yet (AAF)? I've seen a few games on t.v. and it's not too bad. I don't know how this league will compete as the new XFL will be arriving next year as well. The games like the AAF will be played right after the Super Bowl. I know Houston and Dallas will have an XFL teams but no nick names yet. 
I agree it's not too bad...but it's not good either. Just mediocre. The NFL is enough for me and I hardly watch that.
Oh hell yes!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think none of the other ten players placed below him was his competitor two decades ago. One factoid: His first Major win came one year before Viagra.
Lewis Hamilton won his SIXTH Chinese Grand Prix yesterday in Shanghai. The Englishman took first place to his Mercedes teammate, Bottas, in the initial meters. And he clung to that position until the end of the race. Lewis Hamilton believes Mercedes will have to operate with maximum effort to maintain a competitive edge in their fight with Ferrari this season – but he expects greater performance advances from his team.
Lewis Hamilton took a comfortable victory in the Chinese Grand Prix to hold the championship lead for the first time in 2019.
The Mercedes driver passed team-mate Valtteri Bottas, who started from pole position, off the line and controlled Formula 1's 1,000th race from there.
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel took third, after the team ordered team-mate Charles Leclerc to let him by in the opening laps.
The decision led to Leclerc losing fourth place to Max Verstappen's Red Bull.
It was Hamilton's 75th career victory, and it came on a weekend on which he had struggled throughout practice but pulled a lap out of the bag to grab a front-row spot, which proved the foundation for his win.
