Frylock Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 13 hours ago, Dilbert said: All four games were played today and some teams are more professional than others. While Albany and Nashville looked like a normal AFL setup Oregon and Louisiana not so much. Oregon still doesnt have a field goal post or nets While Louisianas field goal post and nets look put together from parts from a hardware store and are crooked.. The pads on the boards dont look great either. That’s incorrect about Oregon. They did have rebound nets and goalposts. They just weren’t the standard model that we all are used to. They used black steel pipes instead of aluminum, presumably because they had to be fabricated for the venue (low ceiling) and it was cheaper. I hate that they couldn’t at least rattle can them with yellow paint. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that explains why they were invisible in the photo. 2 Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAWeaver Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 NBC Sports: Arena Football League Returns With A Thud https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/arena-football-league-returns-with-a-thud Quote Per the Inquirer, many [Philadelphia Soul] players allegedly were released Friday and booted from the Super 8 motel where they had been staying. Their luggage, according to the report, was taken from them and locked in a room. Quote The Philadelphia coach, Patrick Pimmel, stepped own the day before the Soul were due to face the Louisiana VooDoo in Lafayette. Players from the Dallas Falcons of American Arena League 2 (apparently not to be confused with American Arena League 1) served as replacements for the Soul. The VooDoo won in a blowout, 53-18. There’s no mention of the game on what appears to be the Arena League’s current website, which has AI-quality summaries of the other seven contests. Hopefully it is AI generated. It would be sad to think [a] human had the time or inclination to write more than 1,000 words about the Billings Outlaws beating the Wichita Regulators, 66-28. Albany Times Union: Fight Breaks Out After Firebirds-Predators Game: https://www.timesunion.com/sports/article/firebirds-return-comeback-win-fight-breaks-game-19424674.php Quote Following the Firebirds’ 62-59 win against the Orlando Predators at MVP Arena in front of an announced crowd of 4,784, punches were thrown and at least one fan appeared to make their way onto the field during the series of scuffles that took a couple minutes to quell. Quote “And, then, one of my guys that wasn’t even playing the game — had no helmet or equipment on — he gets punched in the face,” Ware continued. “That was the one that’s just uncalled for. It’s one thing to fight (with) two guys, with helmets and shoulder pads, and they can tussle around and nobody’s going to get hurt. But to punch a guy square in the face because you lost the game, I just thought that was childish.” Quote @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I'm seeing two in Salem and Louisiana that I'm not sure will even start it. *ding* And with that, our AFL extinction tote board ticks down to 15 after one weekend of action. Still plenty of time until Saturday, so watch this space!

Sodboy13 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Philadelphia is (supposedly) league-owned. Georgia is as well. The owner in Billings let slip that Oregon is also league-owned, after all the pomp about Kayvon Thibodeaux being part of ownership. They'll all stay until there's no one left who will allow them in a building.
