"AAF? I though that show was cancelled in the 80's."
You are thinking of "ALF". The AAF is a new minor league to test American's appetite for football and give players a chance to audition for the NFL. Founded by Charlie Ebersol and former NFL executive Bill Polian.
Here are the teams and their head coaches.
Eastern Conference
Atlanta Legends, Kevin Coyle
Birmingham Iron, Tim Lewis
Memphis Express, Mike Singletary
Orlando Apollos, Steve Spurrier
Western Conference
Arizona (Tempe) Hotshots, Rick Neuheisel
Salt Lake Stallions, Dennis Erickson
San Antonio Commanders, Mike Riley
San Diego Fleet, Mike Martz
"I like 'Iron' but a lot of those names are stupid."
You're preaching to the choir, Kemosabe.
"Are the rules different from the NFL?"
Yes. There are no kickoffs, teams will begin possessions on their own 25 yard line. There are no PAT kicks, teams will attempt 2-point conversions after each touchdown. There are no TV time outs and fewer commercials. The play clock is 35 seconds instead of 40. Overtime will be "High School rules" each team gets a possession on their own 10 yard line, games end in tie if still tied after that. There is also a "4th and long" desperation option as a replacement for onside kicks.
"Let's pretend for the sake of argument that I give a darn, what team should I root for? I live in West Podunk, Massafornia, none of those teams are near me."
Well each team has 4 NFL tie in teams. Or you could root for a coach you like, you figure it out.
What channel is it on?
Various, Bender or I or someone will post schedules, there's 2 games on Sat and 2 on Sun. After the 10 game regular season is over the 2 teams in each conference advance to the playoffs.

So much for Manziel. He was as wobbly as the end of one of his benders when he was helped off the field.
Well I did say above... "Orlando welcomes Johnny to the AAF and will spank his hind end to beat the band--"
Both good games yesterday. I would say who won... but then Clet would stay lazy--
Dude! marijuana is legal in Miihcigan, now.
Slacker weed.
Another reason not to buy a car built in Michigan
Go Commanders!!!
Ugh, move the damn ball down the field. All these swing passes are lame.
Our boys obviously heard the rumors. Sigh. Hope they show up in the second half.
Manziel was looking pretty good yesterday before he got hurt, you could definitely see some flashes of what he once was.
Well that last play was pretty damn awful, not just because he got injured, because he made a horrible choice in his pass. Very much what you would expect from a rookie.
Yeah, Big, we got our you know what kicked and kicked bad—
