Arena League is OK I may be wrong but I am sure I read on Bucpower.com that you do not like Arena football {I say this as I can not seem to find now} but back to the point I can not see why. I am by no means an expert on football but I have watched my fair share over the years and in the past couple of weeks have watched three or four games of the Arena League on NASN. I think that it is really good ok it is not to the standerd of the NFL but I can understand why people in the States seem to like it. Playing to full houses and bringing a form of football to places that normally would never come near a NFL team. It is fast and high scoring which is something that the NFL has been trying to do some years now without much success.It also seems to be more geared towards the fans letting them keep the ball if it goes out of bounds for instance something that the big League frowns on if the players give a ball to anyone in the stands. The Arena League just seems to be a lot more fan friendly something that the NFL teams could do well to take note of, the Buccaneers are one the best teams in the league for looking out for the fans on both sides of the pond but not all of them seem to think this way the Bears to name just one. Also a league that can boast owners like Jon Bon Jovi,John Elway,Mike Ditka,Jerry Jones and Pat Bowlen to name a few all of which except the obivous all have proven NFL track records can not be all bad.This league will go from strength to strength. You also make no bones about not likeing NFL Europe well as for that so called league it will only ever be as good as the NFL want it to be and untill they start to take it seriously and put some weight behind and start to promote it and put some money into it it will always be crap and they will never get the attendance figures that they are after. Although the Titans have done the league a huge favour if they use it that is by sending over Walter Payton's son Jarrett over to play with the Amsterdamn Admirals this could be huge for NFL Germany sorry Europe but I do not think that it will be used and sadly I cannot see the league lasting much longer which is a huge shame both for the players and the fans alike.
