1. Well isn't the Pro Bowl next Sunday?

2. Could be, but for some reason I think it's two weeks after the Super Bowl
And welcome to DU!

Anyway, the Pro Bowl really isn't like real football--they're too chummy with each other! Still, you gotta watch it because it's gonna be a long time before you get to see any more!

3. The AFL is on every weekend for the next few months.

It's actually more exciting than the NFL, IMHO. It's certainly a faster game.

Besides, from where I sit, this means that baseball is almost here! THANK GOD AND GREYHOUND THE NFL's GONE!

:hi:

4. Never could get into Arena football
It's like college ball on crystal meth. The team with the last posession always wins, because defense is a suggestion instead of a requirement.

But yes, pitchers and catchers report soon. :)

7. True.
A single defensive stop in the AFL is HUGE.

5. I've never really seen that--the scoring seems too easy for me...
...at least we don't have the XFL anymore!

8. Ok. I'll sit inside on some crappy Sunday and watch it!
Or is it on Saturdays?

9. Sundays for sure. But it might be Saturdays too.
I don't follow the league. But I end up watching two or three games a year, whenever them there crappy Sundays come 'round, and I do get a kick out of it.

Salud!

10. My cats might like it too! They like regular football--seriously....
...they turn towards the screen when a game is on. I think it's all the movement--you know how you have a different camera angle just about every second during a game. Cats are drawn towards rapid movement.
