Your Gonna Miss the AFL more than you think...

So the Arena Football League is taking a year off to work out some kinks in their business structure. No biggie right, I mean after a year passes we'll be watching Jon Bon Jovi in the owners dreaming for a surprise halftime performance. Wrong! Think about this, the AFL starts up every year around the same time the NFL finishes, smart so all football fans will want to continue watching games and they won't forget how much they love to drink beer and explain their vast knowledge of the game upon friends.

In the summer months, after the NBA and NHL playoffs finish up, sports slow down....literally. NASCAR is a commercial sport (you flip over and watch during commercials of real sports), and PGA and MLB both have too much down time during games. Plus, fans can't get too up or down about baseball since there are more games in a season than there are Paton Oswalt jokes I haven't laughed at.

Sports fans need an occasional fast paced, hard hitting atmosphere that the AFL offered us. Don't believe me, imagine a Sportscenter top 10 plays countdown in mid July 2009.....did you think of a couple long balls, diving catches, occasional hole-in-one and some how-is-that-still-a-league WNBA stuff...I thought so. There needs to be kick returns, concussions handed out, and fan interference interceptions. And this very well could have been the year the next Kurt Warner arrived.

Since they are dropping the AFL for '09, I'm gonna propose the XFL tries to make a one year comeback. How awesome was this league, nowhere else can players get season ending injuries just trying to win the coin toss. Recreate this league, keep the cheerleaders and sweet rules,only make the Detroit Lions play in it if they do go "overfeated"[Thanks B.S.] this year. Honestly, who wouldn't watch them struggle to beat a team of washed up D-II players who are managed by none other than Matt Millan.
