The Fleet win, the Bombers lose. (AAF/CFL)

Week Two of the Alliance of America Football is now in the books, and after being able to watch two more games, I can say it was another exciting week of football! I'm really enjoying the quality of game play and officiating thus far. I'm now going to break down the two AAF games I saw, as well as throw in some CFL news that has caught my attention.

The Fleet win at home. It's nice to see a professional football team back in San Diego, and was even better to see them pick up their first win of the season at home. The Fleet started off a but sluggish, but then picked it up and came out with the victory. There were some hard hits, and great plays, which is starting to become a trademark of the AAF.

Hotshots and Express go down to the wire. The Memphis Express had a big lead going into the second half, and let it all fade away, with the Hotshots coming back to win the game in dramatic fashion. Timely blocks and stops on defence allowed their offence to get back on the field and crank up the score, helping them to win. It was very fun to watch!

Hey Winnipeg, what's the deal? Almost a week into CFL free agency, and my Winnipeg Blue Bombers have done next to nothing. In the first few days, most of the big names were signed by other teams who were quick to make their upgrades for the upcoming season. Yes, Winnipeg did re-sign Adam Bighill ahead of time, but have done next to nothing so far. The Bombers need a franchise quarterback that doesn't tank in the playoffs. Matt Nichols is not that QB.

It's a little frustrating to watch your team do little when other teams do so much in free agency. Need I remind the Bombers that we haven't won a Grey Cup since 1990. Let that sink in.
