Everyone can get hurt

Also it's ol' man Vinatieri. He can teach anyone.

Bill Parcells to Become San Diego Head Coach After Passing of John Madden Following the unfortunate passing of John Madden at the end of 2021, the San Diego Midway have opted to look for another head coach and will be bringing out of retirement famous coach from the 1980s, Bill Parcells. Parcells was an NFL Head Coach for several teams between 1983 and 2006. He won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants before retiring as Dallas Cowboys head coach in 2006. His coaching record in the NFL stood at 172-130-1.​

It is now the Post-Draft Trade Window. For the entire month of January, teams within the AFA are allowed to trade with one another for players. Let the trading begin!​
