This week on It Was a Thing on TV we're honoring 'Merica with a look at the Presidents and some good ol fashioned American Football.   First, we thought Lil' Bush would be a fair topic for a President's Day episode.  Boy, were we wrong.  For the most part, this aged like bad cheese.  What seemed like a good idea in the 2000s ended up having a very short shelf life, running on one-note political gags from 15 years ago.  We apologize in advance.   Next, we continue the President's Day theme by looking at a commercial for an inaugural keepsake.  There's something about a gold plated commemorative plate of Barack Obama which we find odd.   Finally, there have been numerous attempts at football outside of the NFL season.  None exist any longer.  A recent attempt in 2019 was the Alliance of American Football (AAF), which we remember fondly. Listen as we blame the owner of Chico’s favorite hockey team for the demise of the league.   Follow us on our social media feeds over @ItWasAThingOnTV and if you have any show suggestions or feedback send them to itwasathingontv@gmail.com

The Alliance of American Football ended engulfed in the flames of lawsuits and millions of lost capital, but the story from the top to the meteoric crash is one of a race against time and a deal with the devil.  In our new series "Avenge the Fallen", Zach dives into what made the idea of the AAF such fascinating prospect for spring football as well as what doomed it from the start. What plays defined the league? How was Vince McMahon involved in its demise? All this and more in the first of a new series on football leagues of the past that are gone but not forgotten.

We veer back this week into the still-unfolding mess that is (or was) the Alliance of American Football with ESPN.com “NFL Nation” reporter Michael Rothstein – who, along with ESPN Senior Writer Seth Wickersham – has been chronicling the demise of the once-promising league (Inside the Short, Unhappy Life of the Alliance of American Football), dating back to its curious pre-season earlier this winter. With Carolina Hurricanes owner and last-minute financial savior Tom Dundon recently suing the now-bankrupt league for the return of his complete $70 million investment, the story of the Alliance is getting uglier by the week – with little end to the drama in sight.  Despite helping nearly 60 of its players (and counting) sign NFL contracts, the AAF is increasingly likely to be remembered for its shaky finances and off-field managerial intrigue than for its surprisingly high quality of on-field play. Rothstein recounts some of the more interesting stories and tidbits gleaned from his months of covering the formative weeks, initial games and now, chaotic dissolution, of a league that seemingly had everything going for it – until it suddenly (and with hindsight) didn’t – including: Covering the AAF pre-season – despite being denied access to actual practices; The mysterious coaching “debut” of Michael Vick; The deceptive triumph of the Orlando Apollos’ home (and league co-) opener – replete with pre-game tailgating; Initial suspicions the league wasn’t off to as solid a start as early appearances suggested; AND An initial assessment of the villains and victims of the Alliance’s ongoing quietus.

Brad Kee joins Micah to talk about the rise and spectacular fall of the AAF. From missing payroll the first week, to its death a month before the league's championship, the story of the AAF is a fascinating look at hurbis, ego, and money in professional sports. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/26957796/inside-short-unhappy-life-alliance-american-football We're back with more Mind of Micah soon.

Just weeks after its sudden collapse, we take our first look at the brief life of the Alliance of American Football with Sports Illustrated football writer and MMQB NFL podcast host Conor Orr (The Curious Rise and Spectacular Crash of the Alliance of American Football; More Strange Tales from the Collapse of the AAF). Inspired by his work producing the 2017 documentary This Was the XFL for ESPN Films’ 30 for 30 series, director Charlie Ebersol concluded that the renegade league co-created by his father (NBC Sports producer Dick) and World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) impresario Vince McMahon in 2001 had actually been a viable concept, but poorly executed – especially the subpar quality of on-field play.  After reportedly being rebuffed by McMahon to potentially revive the old XFL brand, Ebersol instead dove into planning for his nascent AAF – with the prime focus on solid football product; the “Alliance” formally announced its launch on March 20, 2018, and by June had more than 100 players under contract. What followed was months of methodical and seemingly well-conceived efforts to: construct a solid football operations infrastructure under veteran NFL executive Bill Polian (including top coaches like Steve Spurrier, Rick Neuheisel and Dennis Erickson); solicit investment from (supposedly) stable deep-pocketed investors (such as player-turned-entrepreneur-turned-NFL-owner Reggie Fowler); develop business-enhancing media, data and wagering technology to augment on-field play; and even devise evolved rules to speed up games and improve player safety. The AAF made its debut with two simultaneous Saturday evening games in San Antonio and Orlando on February 11, 2019 in front of a surprisingly large CBS national primetime TV audience – but the league’s operational wheels started coming off almost immediately.  Chief among the issues: a Week One cash call that investor Fowler couldn’t cover, and a hastily-arranged $250MM majority equity investment from NHL Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon – who quickly concluded that operational finances were dangerously unstable, and likely unsustainable. After weeks of maneuvering, Dundon pulled the plug on further funding his pledge (rumored as only $70MM of the promised amount), announcing the suspension of the league’s operations on April 2nd – just two weeks shy of completing the regular season.  15 days later, the AAF filed for Chapter 7 (liquidation) bankruptcy. SI’s Orr walks host Tim Hanlon through the league’s chronology, the facts as we know them today, and what’s likely to come in the months ahead as the story of the AAF continues to play out.

How does an idea for an alternative to the NFL become a real league in just 13 months? Charlie Ebersol was able to leverage his career in Television entertainment, launch the AAF along with Bill Polian and a number of incredible football minds, while drawing in millions of viewers who are starved for football after the Super Bowl. What is the future for the Alliance: Are they a developmental league, are they going to compete with the NFL head on? It's exciting to sit down with Charlie now in the league's first few weeks.
