Well I give Shakes credit for determination, because he obviously wasn't in it for the money. He played a lot of years but not at the level where you'd make good money. I hope the AFL has some sort of health benefits/retirement package that he can use. If you play in the NFL for five years then you ...

Washington will be added for 2017, but chances are Portland will shut down. So the AFL will be right back at 8 teams.

The IFL really is a better league than the AFL. The IFL has more teams and two of them left the AFL to join the IFL. No teams are leaving other leagues to join the AFL anymore because they know it's on life support. The AFL has plans to add a team in Washington, DC but they're about to close down th...

I've been a SaberCats fan since their inception in 1995 and this really sucks. They've always had good fan support and they just had the best season in AFL history with 20 wins. So Fry closes shop. He's such a jerk! He has a feud with the league's Commissioner and takes it out on the fans, by taking...

Wichita Falls, Texas is getting a Pecos League team. They're trying to get the stadium fixed up in time to play this season. If not, the Spudders will be at bat in 2017. Here's hoping they get the stadium finished in time to play this season.
