Hot Start For The AAF As Married Player Gets Arrested In Prostitution Sting A Day Before League Debut

I’m not afraid to admit it: I’m a mark for the Alliance of American Football league (AAF). Tomorrow, I will be releasing a quick blog on why degenerates everywhere should become big fans of the AAF, including picks for the first four games. It will become a weekly staple. I am an AAF blogger now.

Lawrence Okoye, 27, and 12 others were snared in an operation by the Shelby County Drug Enforcement Task Force, the team’s third phase of the ongoing probe since September. He is a British track and field star and holds the British record in the discus event. He previously played rugby, as well, and was named one of 10 players to watch by AL.com as the Iron begins its first season.

Now that’s how you start off a season, lads. 72 hours away from the season opener? Gotta get your nut somehow.
