That's what makes the Arena League so exciting, the games are almost never out of reach for either team. I know it sounds crazy, but it was almost like watching an NCAA tourney game in the final minutes during that comeback.
In the NFL, if say the Saints are beating the crap out of Tampa Bay (yeah I figured you'd like that example, Fleurdelisfan) and are up by 3 TDs with less than 4 minutes to go then you can head out and beat the traffic. But in this league well more than half the time it's going to come down to the final tic.
By the way, Fleur, do you remember an Arena Football League team called the New Orleans Night? They had a crescent moon logo on their helmets and played back in the early 90s? (maybe late 80s? I'd have to google it to remember the exact dates) Anyway, they didn't seem to make any big noise back then, but it's really good to see an Arena team back down in the bayou.
Here's to hoping the major networks bring the AFL back to weekend afternoons. I'm not much of a baseball fan, unless I'm going to the games. I love the NHL and ECHL, but other than that there really isn't much to watch sports-wise this time of year. (sorry, not a big fan of the NBA, but I'll watch the game 7s in the playoffs! )
