Spoleto Ends an Era With Infusions of New Works and Artists

Review: “Spoleto is back!” By Perry Tannenbaum When Martha Teichner spoke with Nigel Redden over the Memorial Day weekend, there were three major takeaways from the Spoleto Festival USA general director – in what will stand as his exit interview for most of us in the live or online audience. As we might have guessed, setting up the 2021 festival has been notably awkward after the cancellation…

Bandcamp Friday

The Summer of Lou can wait! Bandcamp is waiving its fees today. So in the interest of showcasing some black voices, here are some recommended downloads. Just buy something! (And if you didn’t know, Bandcamp will be donating 100% of its share of sales on June 19th to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.)

Angel Bat Dawid - Transition East

Just two tunes, but both very awesome. The first is a beguiling drum machine / clarinet duet, showcasing Angel Bat Dawid’s unique instrumental stylings. Sun Ra-ish? The second is a full band track, broodingly beautiful and filled with forward moving momentum. There’s a great interview with Dawid in the most recent Mississippi Records newsletter: “Right Now, I want to teach people how to pray. Not in the religious sense. No. I'm talking about prayer as a natural human technology that keeps us at peace and keeps us connected to each other.” You’re also going to want Angel’s The Oracle.

Jace Clayton - The Julius Eastman Memory Depot

DJ/writer/artist Jace Clayton (AKA DJ / rupture) lovingly re-imagines and re-frames two Julius Eastman compositions, taking dual pianos (played by David Friend and Emily Manzo) and treating them electronically, taking the listener on an impressive, absorbing sonic journey.

Anthony Braxton - Solo (Kent) 1979

The mighty Anthony Braxton turned 75 yesterday. He’s got a very deep catalogue on Bandcamp, which is very much worth dipping into. I am far from a Braxton expert, but I am loving this thorny and thought-provoking solo alto sax recital, taped at Kent University in Ohio — a name synonymous with civil unrest and government fuckups. Sound familiar?

Junius Paul - Ism

Chicago bassist Junius Paul’s double LP Ism came out late last year, but I’m only now digging into its sprawl. Tons of eclectic and excellent work here, with Paul’s playing both wildly adventurous and deeply groovy. The near-20-minute “Spocky Chainsey Has Re-Emerged” is absolutely killer, featuring Paul, Vincent Davis, Justin Dillard and Corey Wilkes all in deep conversation. Definitely some early Electric Miles vibes, but it stretches beyond that influence rather than surrendering to it ...

Damon Locks Black Monument Ensemble - Stay Beautiful

I loved Damon Locks’ Where Future Unfolds last year, and this freshly released track doesn’t disappoint, with a dreamlike spoken word intro leading into a spiritual chant. Stay beautiful, please.

Brother Theotis Taylor

Here’s what I’m listening to now — a brand-new collection of wonderful folk-gospel by Brother Theotis Taylor, a southern Georgia-based singer/piano player who celebrated his 92nd birthday this year. An amazing voice, often floating into a sublime falsetto, like Sam Cooke singing to you and you alone. Hopeful music, soul-stirring music. For heaven’s sake, get it.

the signs as lawsuits with amusing names

ARIES: Robin Hood, et al. v. US Gov. Banking Industry, et al. (2012) Wikipedia: Robin Hood v. United States CV 12-01542 was a 2012 United States District Court for the Northern District of California civil court case. The case was brought by Robin Hood against the United States government for allegedly violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Hood filed the case on behalf of himself and others, alleging that the United States government had violated the RICO act, stating that he and others had been "robbed by banks, attorneys and the government they tried to support". TAURUS: United States v. Ninety-Five Barrels Alleged Apple Cider Vinegar (1924)

Wikipedia: United States v. Ninety-Five Barrels Alleged Apple Cider Vinegar, 265 U.S. 438 (1924), was an in rem case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that apple cider vinegar is mislabeled when that vinegar is made from dried apples. The label at issue indicated that the vinegar was made from "selected" apples. Douglas Packing Company, the manufacturer, admitted to dehydrating fresh apples and then re-hydrating the apples with pure water to produce vinegar. GEMINI: Memoirs v. Massachusetts (1966) Wikipedia: To be declared obscene a work of literature had to be proven by censors to: 1) appeal to prurient interest, 2) be patently offensive, and 3) have no redeeming social value. The book in question in this case was Fanny Hill (or Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, 1749) by John Cleland and the Court held in Memoirs v. Massachusetts that, while it might fit the first two criteria (it appealed to prurient interest and was patently offensive), it could not be proven that Fanny Hill had no redeeming social value. CANCER: United States ex rel. Gerald Mayo v. Satan and His Staff (1971)

Wikipedia: Gerald Mayo, a 22 year old inmate at Western Penitentiary in Pittsburgh, filed a claim before the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania in which Mayo alleged that "Satan has on numerous occasions caused plaintiff misery and unwarranted threats, against the will of plaintiff, that Satan has placed deliberate obstacles in his path and has caused plaintiff's downfall" and had therefore "deprived him of his constitutional rights."

In his decision, U.S. District Court Judge Gerald J. Weber first noted that the jurisdictional situation was unclear. While no previous cases had been brought by or against Satan and so no official precedent existed, there was an "unofficial account of a trial in New Hampshire where this defendant filed an action of mortgage foreclosure as plaintiff", a reference to the short story "The Devil and Daniel Webster". Judge Weber suggested that the Devil (who had claimed in that story to be an American), should he appear, might have been therefore estopped from arguing a lack of personal jurisdiction. In this context, the Court noted that Satan was a foreign prince, but did not have occasion to address whether, if sued as a defendant, he would be able to claim sovereign immunity from suit. Ultimately, the Court refused the request to proceed in forma pauperis because the plaintiff had not included written instructions for how the U.S. Marshal could serve process on Satan. LEO: United States v. One Solid Gold Object In Form of A Rooster (1967)

Quartz: On a blazing hot afternoon in July 1960, three armed US marshals raided a casino lobby in Sparks, Nevada, and proceeded to seize a golden statue of a rooster. Invited onlookers jeered and hissed as the agents confiscated the statue, whose attorney decried a “colossal miscarriage of justice.”

The renegade fowl in question was a nine-and-a-half-inch-tall, 14-pound bird made of solid 18-karat gold. Prior to his arrest, his preferred roost had been in a lighted glass display case at the Nugget Casino in Sparks, Nevada, where he had taken up residence in 1958, helping to promote The Golden Rooster Room, a newly opened restaurant at the fast-growing Nugget, which served fried chicken as its signature dish. The metal bird was now a defendant in a Federal complaint brought by Treasury Department, entitled United States of America v. One Solid Gold Object in Form of a Rooster. Unbeknownst to the bird, he had become the latest–and most severe–action taken by a federal government that was terrified of running out of gold. VIRGO: United States v. Article Consisting of 50,000 Cardboard Boxes More or Less, Each Containing One Pair of Clacker Balls (1976)

Wikipedia: United States v. Article Consisting of 50,000 Cardboard Boxes More or Less, Each Containing One Pair of Clacker Balls, 413 F. Supp. 1281 (D. Wisc. 1976), is a 1976 United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin decision regarding a requested order from the United States government to seize and destroy a shipment of approximately 50,000 clacker balls under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act because children could hit themselves with the balls.

LIBRA: United States v. 11 1/4 Dozen Packages of Articles Labeled in Part Mrs. Moffat’s Shoo-Fly Powders for Drunkenness (1941) Wikipedia: United States v. 11 1/4 Dozen Packages of Articles Labeled in Part Mrs. Moffat’s Shoo-Fly Powders for Drunkenness, 40 F. Supp. 208, was a 1941 US federal court case heard in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York, alleging the misbranding of a putative cure for alcohol intoxication. The action's unusual name results, in part, from the customs of cases with in rem jurisdiction, and refers to 135 packages of the containers used to hold the powder. This case was one of the first actions taken by the United States Food and Drug Administration.

Mrs. Moffat’s Shoo-Fly Powders for Drunkenness, manufactured by M. F. Groves' Son & Co., was a product popular in the 19th century, alleged to be an effective antidote for drunkenness. The powder was tartar emetic, antimony potassium tartrate, which induces vomiting. By 1939, the product was considered a Mickey Finn, and criminal convictions had been obtained for some sellers for selling unlabelled poisons. SCORPIO: I Am The Beast Six Six Six of the Lord of Hosts in Edmond Frank MacGillivray Jr. Now. I Am The Beast Six Six Six of the Lord of Hosts IEFMJN. I Am The Beast Six Six Six of the Lord of Hosts. I Am The Beast Six Six Six of the Lord of Hosts OTLOHIEFMJN. I Am The Beast SSSOTLOHIEFMJN. I Am The Beast Six Six Six. Beast Six Six Six Lord v. Michigan State Police, et al. (1990) SAGITTARIUS: Marcus v. Search Warrant of Property at 104 East Tenth Street, Kansas City, Missouri (1961)

Wikipedia: An unusual in rem case heard by the Supreme Court where the named object was not the seized property (11,000 magazines, books, and still photos seized from a wholesaler by the Kansas City Police Department for allegedly being obscene) but the warrant under which it was seized. Since all the government agents involved were indisputably acting within the law as it stood, the only way for the petitioner to challenge the constitutionality of the seizure was to name the search warrant itself as defendant.

CAPRICORN: United States v. International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America, AFL-CIO; Commission of La Cosa Nostra; Anthony Salerno, also known as Fat Tony; Matthew Ianniello, also known as Matty the Horse; Anthony Provenzano, also known as Tony Pro; Nunzio Provenzano, also known as Nunzi Pro; Anthony Corallo, also known as Tony Ducks; Salvatore Santoro; Christopher Furnari, Sr., also known as Christie Tick; Frank Manzo; Carmine Persico, also known as The Snake, also known as Junior; Gennaro Langella, also known as Gerry Lang; Philip Rastelli, also known as Rusty; Nicholas Marangello, also known as Nicky Glasses; Joseph Massino, also known as Joey Messino; Anthony Ficarotta, also known as Figgy; Eugene Boffa, Sr.; Francis Sheeran; Milton Rockman, also known as Maishe; John Tronolone, also known as Peanuts; Joseph John Aiuppa, also known as Joey Aiuppa, also known as Joe Doves, also known as Joey O’Brien; John Phillip Cerone, also known as Jackie Cerone, also known as Jackie the Lackie; Joseph Lombardo, also known as Joey the Clown; Angelo LaPietra, also known as The Nutcracker; Frank Balistrieri, also known as Carl Angelo Deluna, also known as Toughy; Carl Civella, also known as Corky; Anthony Thomas Civella, also known as Tony Ripe; General Executive Board, International Brotherhood of Teamsters; Jackie Presser, General President [and other officers including sixteen Vice Presidents]; In re Application LXXXVI of the Independent Administrator, Leroy Ellis, Appellee v. Roadway Express, Inc., 3 F.3d 634 (2d Cir. 1993). AQUARIUS: United States v. One Lucite Ball Containing Lunar Material (One Moon Rock) and One Ten Inch by Fourteen Inch Wooden Plaque (2001) Wikipedia: The Honduras Apollo 17 "goodwill moon rocks" plaque display, which was presented to the people of the Republic of Honduras in 1973 by President Nixon, came into the possession of retired colonel Roberto Agurcia Ugarte some time after 1993 and before 1995 in an illegal manner. It is unclear how Ugarte obtained it. Some speculate that he was inspired to steal the Honduras Apollo 17 "goodwill moon rocks" plaque display with the 1 gram moon rock because of the $442,500 selling price at a Sotheby's auction in December 1993 for a Russian sample of three tiny lunar pebbles weighing 0.2 grams that could only be seen under a microscope. Ugarte put the plaque up for sale, covering the stars of the Honduras flag to give the impression that the NASA wooden plaque display could have come from one of several Central American countries (as many have the same colors on their flags). He eventually found a buyer for it, a fruit distributor named Alan Rosen, who bought it for what he claims was $50,000 at the time. A lawsuit filed against Rosen in 2001, United States v. One Lucite Ball Containing Lunar Material (One Moon Rock) and One Ten Inch by Fourteen Inch Wooden Plaque, went on trial and was settled in 2003. As a result of the trial, Rosen forfeited the Honduras Apollo 17 lunar sample plaque display, which was ultimately presented to Honduran President Ricardo Maduro on February 28, 2004. PISCES: South Dakota v. Fifteen Impounded Cats (2010)

Lowering the Bar: The Supreme Court of South Dakota grappled with legal issues arising from an officer's decision to impound fifteen cats he found roaming around a woman's car. In a split decision, the justices rejected the woman's arguments that the evidence was insufficient to support the cat seizure and that said seizure violated her constitutional rights.

Curatela e ideazione del progetto

ACINQUE Un archivio d’immagini e parole per la Sicilia

Seconda mostra alla Legatoria Prampolini via V. Emanuele II 333 - Catania

dal 17/11/2019 - al 21/11/2019

A un anno esatto dalla prima mostra a Palermo (presso l’Oratorio di San Mercurio), s’inaugura il 17 Novembre alle ore 19.00, nella rinnovata Legatoria Prampolini di Catania (Via Vittorio Emanuele II, 333) la seconda tappa espositiva del progetto ACINQUE - Un archivio d’immagini e parole per la Sicilia. Una raccolta di circa sessanta libri d’artista di formato A5 (210 x 148 mm), realizzati mediante diverse tecniche: dal disegno alla pittura, dalla fotografia digitale al collage, accomunati da un unico tema, ovvero il patrimonio materiale e immateriale della Sicilia

Il progetto è stato ideato nel 2018 da Giuseppe Mendolia Calella, curatore e co-fondatore della piattaforma sulle arti visive Balloon Project, contestualmente al ciclo di eventi per la rassegna ATTRAVERSO nell’ambito di Palermo Capitale della Cultura. In quell’occasione era stata lanciata una call in cui s’invitavano artisti, scrittori, fotografi, e operatori culturali di ogni sorta, a realizzare un libro in copia unica o tiratura limitata.

Dopo il successo della prima mostra palermitana, la call è stata riaperta e l’archivio si è arricchito di nuovi contenuti.

In occasione della seconda mostra dell’archivio sarà presentato un folio edito in collaborazione con la casa editrice Moondi contenente testi critici di Cornelia Lauf, Aurelia Nicolosi e Giuseppe Mendolia Calella, traduzioni di Gesualdo Busacca.

Autori in mostra:

Roberta Abeni, Fabrizio Ajello, Vanessa Alessi, Daniela Ardiri, Calogero Enzo Barba, Ludovica Antonella Barba, Vincenzo Barba, Marcella Barone, Davide Basile, Gaetano Blaiotta, Giovanna Brogna Sonnino, Luca Hugo Brucculeri, Gesualdo Busacca, Laura Cantale, Gianluca Capozzi, Carmen Cardillo, Federico Caruso, Claudia Castello, Mario Chiavetta, Maria Grazia Cipolla e Giacomo Simonetta, Alessandro Costanzo, Paolo Cremona, Eleonora Cumer, Mariella Cusumano, Gabriele D'Angelo, M. Elena Danelli, Melania De Luca e Gianluca Monaco, Pasquale De Sensi, Stefania Di Filippo, Francesco Di Giovanni, Demetrio Di Grado, Giuseppe Anthony Di Martino, Giorgio Distefano, Zoltan Fazekas, Alessandro Federico, Manuel Fois, Rosa Franceschino, Rosolino Ganci, Loly Ghirardi, Lillo Giuliana, Alessio Guano, Olga Gurgone e Valentina Scalzo, Vincenzo Ingrascì, Angelo Licciardello e Sebastiano Sicurezza, Sara Lovari, Mario Margani e Andrea Nicolò, Laura Maugeri, Susy Manzo, Giuseppe Mendolia Calella, Gaetana Milazzo, Pietro Milici, Rosa Lucia Motta, Claudio Parentela, Francesco Pietrella, Ettore Pinelli, Maurizio Pometti, Salvo Rivolo, Francesco Rinzivillo, Flavia Rossi, Gabriella Sapienza, Stefania Scamardi, Caterina Scandurra, Giuseppe Scandurra e Lucilla Scalia, Federico Severino, Demetrio Scopelliti, Samantha Torrisi, Ilenia Vecchio, Marilena Vita, Vincenzo Zancana.

436: Anthony Manzo on chamber music

It was a pleasure to chat with Anthony Manzo about his career as a chamber music double bassist, traveling with a bass (always an adventure!), the unique qualities of Anthony's bass, and much more.

A special shout-out to Eric Roy of Upton Bass for connecting me with Anthony for this conversation!

About Anthony Manzo:

Anthony Manzo enjoys performing in a broad variety of musical forums - despite the ever-present complications of travel with a double bass! An artist with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Mr. Manzo is sought-after chamber musician who performs regularly at such noted venues as Lincoln Center in NYC, the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, SC, Bay Chamber Concerts in Rockport, Maine, and the Chesapeake Chamber Music Festival on Maryland's Eastern Shore. In addition, Mr. Manzo is also the Solo Bassist of San Francisco’s New Century Chamber Orchestra, and a regular guest artist with the National Symphony Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony, and the Smithsonian Chamber Society near his home in Washington DC. Formerly the Solo Bassist of the Munich Chamber Orchestra, he has also been a frequent guest with Camerata Salzburg in Austria, where collaborations have included their summer residency at the Salzburg Festival, as well as two tours as double bass soloist alongside bass/baritone Thomas Quasthoff in Mozart's “Per questa bella mano” (with performances in Salzburg, Paris, Vienna, Budapest, and Istanbul).

A decade later, Catrillo looks back at how Bid Rig III changed his life

By Ricardo Kaulessar - Focal Point JC

Guy Catrillo this coming July 23 will try not to think back to what happened to him 10 years ago to the day.

"At six o'clock in the morning, I hear pounding on the door and I looked out the window upstairs, and there were six officers in my case, and one of them in plainclothes opened up his jacket and said, 'FBI? I don't recall calling the FBI," remembered Catrillo of the moment that would forever impact him.

The Jersey City native was one of the people arrested that morning as part of the federal government's Bid Rig III sting, the investigation into political corruption and money laundering that led to the arrests of 46 public officials as well as several rabbis and developers. It has been cited by political experts as a major factor in Chris Christie, the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey from 2002 to 2008 whose office led the investigation, winning his first term as governor in 2009.

Many of the arrests came about as the result of meetings with government informant Solomon Dwek, in a number of cases posing as a developer looking to do projects in the various towns where they were based.

Some of the prominent figures that were caught in this government operation and would serve time in prison included then-Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano, then-Jersey City Councilman Mariano Vega, and then-Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell. Rabbi Saul Kassin, the leading Syrian Sephardic Jewish cleric in the United States at the time, received two years of unsupervised probation.

Some officials were able to beat the federal government such as current Ridgefield Mayor Anthony Suarez, former Jersey City interim Mayor and City Council President Harvey Smith, and former state Assemblyman Louis Manzo.

Catrillo wasn't so lucky as the first person of the people arrested in Bid Rig III to go to jail.

He would serve more than 15 months from 2010 to 2011 at Federal Correctional Institution, Fort Dix after pleading guilty to accepting $15,000 cash in three payments from Dwek in exchange for helping Dwek to get approvals on his purported development project on Garfield Avenue in Jersey City. He also served 2 years of supervisory release until July 4, 2014 when you finished his sentence, what he refers as his “independence day.”

Catrillo was running for the Ward E City Council seat against the incumbent Steven Fulop, now the city's Mayor, at the time of the meetings with Dwek, and eventually lost.

Catrillo looks back at Dwek as a pushy operator and willing pawn of federal agents who kept trying to force Catrillo to take money that he was not interested in taking, until one day Dwek eventually convinced Catrillo to hold the money for fear of being robbed that led to Catrillo's legal troubles.

"He opened up the trunk, he picked up a FedEx envelope, and he said, 'You know that $5,000 you were talking about,' and that was the same $5,000 I told him I didn't want. I didn't earn it, I didn't do anything for him," Catrillo recalled. "He picked it up and put in front of my face and said, 'You know that $5,000 we talked about. Take it'."

Dwek, who became an informant after he was busted for bank fraud in 2006, ended up serving about two years of a six-year sentence until he was released from federal prison in 2015.

Catrillo said while he tries to not look back in bitterness at his arrest and imprisonment, he still takes issue with authorities pressuring his mother to get him to cooperate with the FBI to ensnare some other public officials, which he said could have gotten him out of jail sooner. Sally Catrillo passed away in December 2011.

"That's the thing that burns me up the most. That's what bothers me," Catrillo said.

Catrillo also said he has been struggling financially since his government pension was taken away as a result of his arrest. He said he is earning some income from odd jobs that he does for longtime friends and associates, who have been the bright spots in his life with their support and help.

And he has managed to find some peace after what he has gone through.

"I don't wake up now at 6 o'clock in the morning thinking somebody is going to break down my door," Catrillo said.

4 ways the XFL can learn from the AAF’s mistakes

The AAF is heading towards a quick demise. The XFL can take a lot away from its self-destruction.

Attempting to start a football league that’s not the NFL is no easy task. It appears the latest attempt, the Alliance of American Football (AAF), won’t be keeping its doors open for much longer. On April 2, it was announced the league would be suspending its operations with the likelihood of folding altogether.

This doesn’t seem to forebode well for the next reincarnation of the XFL, which will be starting in 2020. However, the XFL can learn from the AAF’s mistakes as it gets ready to open its league next year.

Here are four lessons the XFL can take away from the catastrophe known as the AAF.

1. Have money to pay the players right out the gate

Reports said the AAF needed a $250 million investment from Tom Dundon just to meet payroll after one week of play. Dundon “only” ended up investing $70 million, but how was the AAF not prepared to pay everyone past one week of play?

There were obvious organization and money issues with the AAF. According to various reports, only players and coaches were fed on team planes — everyone else involved with the operation had to get their own food. When the league was suspended, there wasn’t any severance pay and players were forced to purchase their own flights home. Their belongings were tossed from their hotel rooms and they were left on their own.

Unorganized is an understatement...kicked out of our rooms (that weren’t paid apparently) 17 hours away from home with a car full of my belongings and nowhere to go...#JoinTheAlliance @TheAAF @CharlieEbersol @TDCanes @espn @BleacherReport @aafexpress

— Anthony Manzo-Lewis (@amanzolewis) April 2, 2019

@TheAAF I woke up to over a $2500 charge pending on my account from the Sonesta hotel our team stayed in. I called the bank and Memphis team president. My only option is to dispute the charges on Monday. The same thing happened to other players on our team @ohrnberger

— Adrien Robinson (@ItsARob8One) April 4, 2019

The Action Network’s Darren Rovell reported that Dundon didn’t pay vendors for the league either. It was an unequivocal mess from top to bottom.

Steve Spurrier, head coach of the Orlando Apollos, also called out the AAF, saying they weren’t truthful about the viability of the league:

“Everyone was led to believe that the Alliance was well-funded and we could play three years without making any money and this, that and the other. Obviously, everything that was said was not very truthful.”

That cash infusion seems to have what ultimately led to the AAF’s quick demise as a league. The investment gave Dundon the power to fold the league on a week-by-week basis — it appears he’s decided to exercise that power. So why did founders Charlie Ebersol and Bill Polian try to put this league together so hastily if they didn’t have the funds?

Well, it’s important to remember that the AAF was announced after Vince McMahon revealed that he was bringing back the XFL. The AAF tried to jump the gun and start playing first, even though it’s apparent now that it was not fully prepared to launch.

That’s a lesson the XFL knows all too well. The first version of the XFL, which only lasted a season, was rushed out to production after just one year.

When the XFL’s return was announced over a year ago, McMahon made it clear he didn’t want to repeat the same mistakes that tanked his league the first time around.

“It’s extremely important that we have time to get together and get them practicing so we can have a quality product,” McMahon said at the time.

McMahon, who will be funding the league by himself, also recently sold $270 million worth of WWE stock in preparation of his new league starting up next year. That’s a start in the right direction that the AAF didn’t make.

2. Be way, way more organized than the AAF

One of the big reasons why the AAF fell flat on its face is because even beyond money, it didn’t seem prepared for everything it takes to run a professional sports league. Here are just a few things that went wrong due to poor organization.

The Orlando Apollos, who eventually ended up being the best team in the league, were not able to practice in the state of Florida.

All sports franchises have insurance companies that cover them, but the AAF struggled to find an insurance provider at the start of the season. Since Florida excludes professional athletes from their worker compensation laws, the Apollos actually had to practice in Kingsland, Georgia, which is just a few minutes from the Florida border.

AAF players are feeling the brunt of the league being suspended as well. After being promised health insurance for an entire year, the AAF will end health insurance at the end of April.

Another #AAF player tells me when he signed his contract, he was told he’d also have health insurance for an entire year, not just duration of contract. Again, this is one player, but This was the message he was sent last night pic.twitter.com/wEPPVFrT0A

The players who got hurt are now on the hook for their own medical expenses.

XFL commissioner Oliver Luck has already confirmed the new version of the XFL will have insurance, unlike the previous iteration.

The AAF games were kind of hard to find. They rotated between CBS Sports Network, B/R Live (which had a hilarious blooper with Marvin Lewis), and NFL Network — not exactly the most accessible channels for people wanting to watch the games.

The XFL has come to an agreement with ESPN and FOX Sports to televise the games. It recently released a statement that seemed to be a direct shot at the AAF in this regard:

“We have said all along the success or failure of other leagues will have no impact on our ability to deliver high-quality, fast-paced, professional football. The XFL is well-funded, we have time before kick-off to execute our business plan, and we will soon announce a national broadcast and cable TV schedule that makes it easy for fans to find our games consistently every weekend when we launch next February. There is no doubt that avid football fans want more and we’re excited to get going in 2020.”

The AAF moved its championship game in the middle of the season. On March 20, it was announced that the AAF would be relocating the championship from Las Vegas to Frisco, Texas. It would have been played at The Star, which is an indoor stadium owned by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

The AAF had already sold tickets to the championship game in Las Vegas — moving it after selling tickets is grimy behavior, even if they would have had a better crowd in Texas.

3. Don’t hire coaches who are completely out of touch with the modern game

A league like the AAF isn’t going to have access to offensive masterminds like Sean McVay, Sean Payton, or Andy Reid — and that’s OK. But it still could’ve thought a bit more outside the box than some of the coaching hires that were made.

For example, the AAF hired Mike Martz and Mike Singletary to be two of the eight head coaches in their league. Martz hadn’t coached since he was the offensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears in 2010. The Bears ranked 21st in points per game that season and 28th in yards per play.

Shockingly, spending almost a decade away from the game didn’t seem to give Martz an edge on his opponents. Martz’s San Diego Fleet went 3-5 and only threw nine touchdowns in eight games.

Mike Singletary had spent a decent amount of time away from high-level football before getting the Memphis Express head coaching gig as well. After being fired by the 49ers in 2010, Singletary spent four total years coaching before landing with the AAF this year — his last stop as a defensive assistant for Jeff Fisher’s Los Angeles Rams in 2016.

The Express were one of the worst teams in the AAF. They averaged just 19 points per game while giving up 24.3 points per game and finished the season 2-6.

Martz and Singletary were productive coaches at one point in their coaching careers, but that was such a long time ago. It’s hard to believe that they couldn’t find someone that had recently been around to game to lead two of their eight teams.

The AAF did have an older coach who was able to embrace the modern aspects of the game in Steve Spurrier — the head coach of the de facto league champions Orlando Apollos. Before landing with the AAF, Spurrier was last the head coach at the University of South Carolina in 2015. He was able to have fun with the game and even used the Philly Special in the first game of the season.

— CBS Sports (@CBSSports) February 10, 2019

The Spurrier approach is a formula that can work for the XFL — hire coaches who know how to have fun and are familiar with the direction of football. Bob Stoops, Marc Trestman, and Pep Hamilton are confirmed as coaches for the 2020 season — all of them recently coached in the NFL or FBS college football in the past few years.

One question mark is Jim Zorn, who hasn’t actively participated in high-level football since being the Chiefs’ quarterback coach in 2012. The other four coaches haven’t been announced yet, but hopefully they’re solid hires who can keep games watchable.

4. Give the teams more time to prepare for the season actually starting

The AAF teams met in January for training camps, which were held in San Antonio at high school stadiums. Training camp for the AAF started on Jan. 4 and the league kicked off on the evening of Feb. 9. That’s not exactly a lot of time to get a team together, learn the playbook, and start getting in practice reps to make sure games run smoothly.

Obviously, development leagues will never be on the level of the NFL, but think about how much time goes into getting a team ready for an NFL season. Before the draft, there are offseason workouts. After the draft, there’s rookie minicamp and organized team activities. Then there’s training camp in the summer.

A lot of practice time goes into being able to coordinate an offense, defense, and special teams — one month just isn’t enough time.

For what it’s worth, the XFL expects to sign their first wave of “premier players” in the first quarter of 2019. The league is scheduled to begin on the weekend after the Super Bowl: Feb. 8, 2020.

There’s no to know for sure if the new XFL will be a success, but it has to be encouraging that it’s learning from past mistakes. Hopefully it can learn from the AAF’s mistakes as well.
