American sportswriter Grant Cohn is known mostly for covering the San Francisco 49ers, but this week he turned to a different code of football. He appeared on Today to share his impressions of the AFL and preview the 49ers' meeting with the Rams in Melbourne. His blunt takes on Aussie rules quickly spread online and drew a strong reaction from local fans. The Melbourne match gives the two NFL clubs a rare chance to face off outside the United States.
