    Arena Football 1? I can't tell if this is true or dream.

    Dan Newman, the owner of the Bossier-Shreveport (La.) BattleWings — who are moving from the af2 to the new league, said Arena Football 1 will use a rule book identical to those used by the AFL and af2.

    "This is arena football," Newman said.

    Thanks for clarifying, Dan. I thought with a league name including the words "Arena" and "Football" that Arena Football 1 could be just about anything, but all confusion is gone now, Dan. Thanks again.

    Although it is not affiliated with either one... the new league is ... ready? ... Arena Football 1.

    That reminds me: I'd like to invite you all to a little burger bistro I'm opening this November called "Original McDonalds the First."

    The commissioner of the new league says the AFL's business model was broken, but that this time around they think they've found the key to running a viable sports league: having the ex-frontman of an 80's hair band own every team. Joining Jon Bon Jovi in the owner's box this year are Kip Winger (Mississippi Mudwrastlers), Brett Michaels (Las Vegas Tainted Vaginas), Stephen Pearcy (Dubuque River Ratts), and Dee Snyder (Long Island Hair Extensions)

    Arena league will return, but Albany Firebirds may not

    Just as well. Any team from Albany's gonna suck at the passing game.

    No matter how this new league turns out, they've got each other, and that's a lot.

    its markets also will include Little Rock, Ark.; Fresno, Calif.; Des Moines, Iowa; Jacksonville, Fla.; Lexington, Ky.; Milwaukee; Oklahoma City; Spokane, Wash.; Huntsville, Ala.; Kennewick, Wash.; and Tulsa.

    These are hotbeds dying for Arena Football? I can't believe all those places actually have arenas.

    @MarkKelsosMigraine: Reminds me of that time he came down to the Great Northeast Huntin' n' Fishin' show at the Knick.

    In hindsight, I guess I understand why he got all huffy when I asked him to check out my bird blind. "What? It's for hunting ducks! Healthy ones, lame ones, all the same."

    I've seen bake sales with better PR organizations.
