I was furious when I heard HBO had axed the program. I used to watch it with my dad religiously.
Yes, year-round football is a Godsend. I don’t know if you are an 8 man football fan (Arena Football is based on 8 man football), but it is a blast to watch and to coach. Very fast, with a lot of passing and misdirection (reverses and counters). With a short break for wrestling season (yes, it is a little alarming to watch one’s son cavorting around in tights), we have year round football. I’m actually running a preseason camp three days a week right now in advance of our season which starts in a month.
I forgot to mention that the Raiders, in their infinite wisdom, decided to pick up DeAngelo Hall. Yeah, that was fricking genius. Complete head case with anger management issues. Good fit for the Raiders, though.
