Hardcore football fans...

[BDIrish4ever]

Soon, March Madness will over. MLB will be playing in the freezing cold and the NBA is still a ways off from the playoffs. For the hardcore football fan, you have only 2 options, college spring practices and arena football. I would like to know from the true football fans your feelings on arena football and is it a good enough game to get you to August when the game we know and love returns.:footballh :footballh

Always thought myslef a hardcore fan, but honestly I a huge NHL and MLB fan too so my jones is covered during the spring and summer

sort of like WWF Football. but it's enjoyable every once in a while

 

[ACamp1900]

oh yeah, as far as Arena, I get into it a bit... much more than the NBA, MLS and others things out there... pretty entertaining

 

[BDIrish4ever]

I have found it somewhat entertaining because the game is so unfamiliar, you don't get caught up in the little things. You just enjoy the game as it is. I found it refreshing just to be a fan.
Sorry ACamp, I forgot about the NHL. The Stanley Cup playoffs maybe be the most exciting post season in professional sports.

I am looking for everyone's opinion on Arena Football. Just Curious.

I agree, NHL is the most exicting league period to me... but I still love MLB and CFB just as much if not more...

and you're dead on with just enjoying the game... good stuff in the Arena League on a lazy weekend

AFL is alright. Even though Cleveland got a team this year, I'm not really following the league. But it gets through April, then I usually follow baseball more closely.

 

[BDIrish4ever]

I have decided to throw my support behind the Chicago Rush. They may not be th Irish or Da' Bears, but they are better than nothing.

 

[NDboy15]

Go Gladiators!

If you like offense watch AFL....

you can say that again

I have to admit I would like to see some rule changes in all Arena Football to give defenses the ability to at least making scoring a challenge. Why is it some people believe that the only entertaining games are "high scoring affairs"? I enjoy seeing well played, quality defense in all sports and would love to see the American sporting fan embrace the beauty of a strong defensive effort.

Watching Arena football is like watching a bad movie remake.

Arena football, to me, is 2 steps above watching the Pro Bowl. I know its football, but its not 'Real" football. At least they actually give effort in arena fb, unlike the probowl joke- fest.

IMO, the Pro Bowl is the worst version of football ever created. The players don't care, the fans don't care and they play at arguably the worst active stadium in America.

I used tyo be so jonesin for fb right after the sb that I would watch it for awhile, waiting for my teams guys to play, then i realized they treat it worse than a pre-season game and still charge the same prices. So I quit watching any of the game about 7 yrs ago. i hope they continue to draw flies on the networks.
