So in the next two years there will be two new leagues starting up - the Alliance of American Football and the XFL.  The CFL's concern is the number of players and prospects it will lose to them.  The AAF has decided to sign players to three-year deals for $250,000.

For August the Als will wear their 1974-1981 helmets.  My recollection is that one year during that period, they wore a single decal on their forehead rather than one on each side;  but I don't remember which year.  Anyone remember?  1977?
