Firehawks are for sale. Of course nobody would actually buy a team for $200,000 . . . So, unless someone wants to get the lease and team put together, Fort Wayne may finally go "dark" for the first time. I'm not so sure which would be worse, going dark or playing another year in the CIFL. ...

[quote=""jcompton""]So, one of the two CIFL semi-finals involves two teams with the same owner. One is a traveling team. The other is the league powerhouse. Even if the Silverbacks play their hearts out (and I hope they do--I've seen the team twice this season and am really impre...

[quote=""indoor fan""] . . . The only thing I give the APFL credit for is that they don't pretend to be a professional league. . . . [/quote] And there is the reason Exit refers back to the APFL so often. They don't pretend to be anything more than they are. Over the years the in...

Also have a 2009 (CIFL) misprinted replica Freedom jersey if anyone is interested in a bargain . . .
