Admit it, the number one thing on your mind during this two week wait for the Super Bowl has been, "what's Peter Warrick up to nowadays?".
Well, wonder no more. In just a few short months, you'll be able to watch (theoretically at least) Warrick play for Team Florida in something called the All-American Football League.
What, you say, is the AAFL? Well, according to its website, the AAFL is a professional football league that is looking to strike up a quasi-relationship with Division I-A NCAA football programs. There are six current franchises: Alabama, Arkansas, Michigan, Tennessee, Texas, and the aforementioned Florida squad. The majority of each team's initial players will come from local college squads, and then the rest of the roster will be filled through the league entry draft, which is occuring today.
There are some recognizable names associated with the league. Bengals fans will recognize former Cincy receiver Willie Jackson, and the Florida head coach is former Bengals QB Shane Matthews. Defensive back Reggie Myles (who most Bengal fans would like to forget) is considered to be one of the Alabama squad's best players. And those who remember the University of Houston squads of the early 90's will recognize Texas head coach John Jenkins, who was one of the most distasteful personalities in collegiate football history - though if it's any consolation, the years have not been too kind to him:
Other notable names include Chris Leak, Fred Weary, B.J. Symons, Andy Kelly, and Clint Stoerner.
Notice that most of these players can be described best by paraphrasing a quote from Major League: they either are past their prime, or they never had a prime. This should make it easier for our guy P-Dub, who hasn't played competitive football in over two years, to make an impact in the fledgling league. With his knees, he'll need all the help he can get.
