December 19, 200619 yr I don't think this is a bad thing. The AFL has always seemed interesting, and I think it could be an interesting watch.

December 19, 200619 yr Author QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Dec 19, 2006 -> 03:37 PM) I was just about to agree with you, but then I remembered how second-rate and dull it is. kind of my reaction. If there's nothing else on, I'll check it out, but not appointment TV for me

If there's nothing else on, I'll check it out, but not appointment TV for me I'm even further on the spectrum. I just can't watch it. I don't think I've ever finished watching a single game, even when I didn't have cable, so it was basically NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, PBS, and WB, and nothing else. I'd finish watching something, AFL would come on, and I'd prefer to read a magazine after a few minutes. Or re-read, whatever.

December 20, 200619 yr Author QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 19, 2006 -> 06:58 PM) I have issues with Media outlets owning or investing in teams or leagues. as do I, especially since ESPN won't run commercials for things they don't have money invested in... This is why there aren't any UFC commercials on ESPN, ESPN doesn't have money in MMA

December 22, 200619 yr The network will have a regular Monday night slot in which it will televise 14 games from March through June. The ArenaBowl title game in New Orleans will be July 29 on ABC, which also will show two regional season openers March 4 on Sunday afternoon. So they are going to televise these games during March Madness, the NBA playoffs, and the NHL playoffs. Great move.
December 30, 200619 yr hey, Chicago is defending champs, nobody else went out and rioted because of that?
