NBC is trying alternative football again!
« on: October 27, 2002, 08:21:54 PM »
in 2003 NBC is Airing the AFL "arena Football league" didnt they learn after the XFL (in my opinion they didnt give them a chance, plus when the games were on was a bad time).
Atleast one guy form the XFL is doing good in the NFL (tommy MaddoX of the Steelers) tho he got injured today.

I watched it (the AFL) a little bit  this year it is pretty good......it is a shorter field and the kickoffs/punts are different.

the AFL is actually quite entertaining.  it\'ll never replace the NFL, but it is a nice supplement for it in the NFL offseason.

Arena football, at least it\'s established. It\'s a much faster game.

Think of Canadian football but with half the field....and in an arena. :)

Very fast!

Also, players play both sides of the ball, offense and defense.

Arena football is quite good. I see it being rather popular in a few years.

XFL..that was just a bunch of 4th,5th and 6th string athletes playing :) Although it was slightly entertaining, the action pretty much sucked.

but the networks are using some of the XFL\'s CAmera Techniques now tho (the Overhead camera and such) so the XFL wasnt a total flop.

AFL has been around for years.  It\'s a great league.  

And yeah they will use camera tricks.  It\'s real aeasy doing some great experimental camera tricks in an arena setting.

I don\'t see anyone complaining about ESPNs Skycam..  

ANd they can\'t do a guy on the field in areana ball.  At least I doubt it.  Way too tight of a field.  THe camera guy would certainly get in the way.

Yeah there are some really talented guys in the AFL. Some guys that, if given the chance, could probably do well in the NFL.

Personally, I just like the fact that there will be more football on TV. The fact that its AFL football makes it even better.

I really never knew why NBC pulled the plug on the XFL, hell the games still got higher ratings than the NBA and WNBA combined.  Sure it wasn\'t the greatest league ever, but it was still getting viewers.

I had one of the all time great Arena teams in my home town: The Albany Firebirds.  We had players such as "Touchdown" Eddie Brown, one of the all time arena greats, and current Pats WR David Patten.  The team moved to Indiana though, which pisses me off like you wouldn\'t believe.  Albany was considered one of the great arena cities, and when the team moved, they were the defending champions!  The last game in Albany was the Arena Bowl.  I happen to hate the league now, because of that bullshit.

Actually TNN was very happy with the XFL.  THey were hoping like hell they could keep it.  I had a show on TNN back then so I spoke to them all the time.  

BTW, XFL also had better ratings nationally than the NHL as well.

I didn\'t mind a lot of it, but the hokey stuff was ridiculous.  I guess that\'s why I think WWE is stupid too.  Oh wait, it\'s because it\'s all fake, that\'s why.

Arkansas has an Arena 2 team and they are pretty good but they probably won\'t get any tv time as this will be Arena 1 I\'m sure.

The XFL wasn\'t too bad. Just really bad timing. They could have made it more interesting.
