I was getting the shakes from not having football for a couple of weeks so I happend to turn on that arena league football....or whatever they are calling it now. It is unwatchable and even makes the XFL look decent. Every game's score looks like a KC Chiefs vs Min Vikings NFL score. Absolutely horrible product they are trying to market on TV, esp after the NFL season when people have been hard core football for 19-20 weeks, we need a little break not bad football.

i thought it was popular because of the high scoring, and also because it's very fan friendly.

Arena football has been around for years. It's just a fast paced sport that lends well to the arena atmosphere.

A league that has been around for more than 10 years is ridiculous? The whole concept is high scoring games. Remember Kurt Warner came from the AFL.

He made it to the pros because of NFL Europe. Delhomme was his back up there are well.

Part of the reason for the high scoring is because they only play on like a 50 yard field. You're all but guaranteed to score at least a field goal on every posession.
