All I can say is...there can only be one professional football league and that's the NFL!

I thought arena football was unique, and it's a shame that the AFL has to shut-down again. Something like this makes me wonder how well (or poorly) the new XFL will perform next Spring.

We've already seen the Arena Football League shut-down in the late-2000s decade. Will the AFL eventually be brought back for a second time?

I thought the AFL was fine for what it was. I had no problem with it.

The Arena Football League's business plan has likely been wrong-headed ever since they tried expanding into big cities after the AFL explosion in the late '90s. With few exceptions, big cities with major sports don't support it. It's a perfect sport for medium cities and metro areas, such as Albany.

Hmm...and I wanna form a sport called roller-blade football, which combines roller derby and football.

Should Cleveland be part of one of the markets?
