Tues, Nov 30 04 "The Tampa Bay Storm have resigned DLm/TE Kelvin Kinney! Argo's QB Michael Bishop re-signed with the Grand Rapids Rampage!" Moose

Kelvin from here at Virginia State, for the 2005 season. He will report to the Edmonton Eskimos three days later. The last four seasons Kinney has played in at least two Pro Football Leagues in each of those calendar years. Kinney missed eight games for the CFL's Eskimos last season after and teammate Donny Brady had motorcycle wrecks. 

Also; three days after helping the Toronto Argonauts win the 92nd CFL Championship, QB Michael Bishop re-signed with the Grand Rapids Rampage. Terms of the contract were not released, but it is believed to be around one-yr. for $75,000-$80,000. He will no doubt be a free agent and resign with the Argos in the Ar.FL's offseason." Moose

Wed, Nov 10 04 "Arena Football Update! Hawaiian Islanders Call a Final Timeout!" Moose

By: Rich Salzer, Super Bowl Wayne Lavelle and Alema Keali'i

The Arena 2 League had given all twenty six of it's teams until Oct. 26th to fax to the Chicago offices a form stating they were "in" for the 2005 season. It extended that for 5 more days for the Hawai'ian Islanders. The Islanders today announced they are permanently suspending operations. The 2005 season would have been their fourth season. 

In 2002 the Islanders went 5-11-0. In 2003 they won the National Conference Western Division with an 10-6-0 regular season mark, which they extended to 11-7-0 after falling to eventual Af2 Champ Tulsa in the Semi-Final round of the Arena2 / ArenaCup playoffs. This year, the Islanders slipped to 8-8-0 with an unbelievable amount of injuries to key players like Darnell Arceneaux (LB/DB/WR/QB-H) FB/LB Keiki Misipeka, who played last year for 3/4s of the CFL season with Edmonton, C/NG Andy Ramos and TE/DE Morrie Roe just to name a few. Still Cal Lee's troups soldiered on, with Shawn Keali'i Withy-Allen helping the team win three of it's final five games to close with a .500 record. For their career in Af2 the Islanders were: 24-26-0, including the playoff games in 2003. 

Withy-Allen and WR/DB Gabe Amey will go to camp with the Nashville Kats of the Arena League. Last year, Olin Rosehill, OL/DL & Josh "Zeus" White made Arena League teams. Rosehill, like Withy-Allen, played for June Jones at the University of Hawai'i. White is a High School graduate of Farrington High in Honolulu. Thanks for the memories, kanakas! No Ka Oi for the Islanders, who should have had a better fate!" Moose

Thurs, Oct 21 04 "Arena Football Update: Really big News RE: ArenaBowl XIX / Signings and Pro Indoor in the great White North" Moose

ArenaBowl XIX, the world Championship of Indoor Pro Football will have a new home next year. The first eighteen years of the Arena League's history, the game has been played after an NHL Stanley Cup style 'lowest-seed at highest- seed style playoffs format. No longer true next year. The Arena League Board of Governors elected to move the game to a neutral site next season for the first time; Good 'ole Las Vegas, Gamblin' Nevada. Yee-Haw! The game is being played at the home of the Las Vegas Gladiators, the Thomas and Mack Centre next Sunday, June 12th, 2005. I am already there! I will cover the game for MYKwebTV. Sports. Also: in recent Arena Free agent signings, Ken Saroka's Philadelphia Soul got their man! They singed ex-Barcelona/Atlanta/Cleveland NFL & L.A. Avenger Arena League pivot, Tony (The Graz) Graziani to a two yr., priority free agent contract. Ron Jaworski's Soul means business to be in

Arena-Bowl XIX next summer after limping through their inaugural season with holder/perennial backup QB Nick Browder and ancient Todd Hammel, who dates all the way back to the N.Y. Knights of '92 (with Doug Pederson!). Former Indiana QB Adrian McPherson got chosen in the dispersal draft by the Nashvegas Kats, back from a four season hiatus. They are owned (god help 'em!) by Bud Adams of the NFL Tits (titans - notice the lower case lettering!). In our first coverage story this issue, is the Indoor Pro North American Indoor Football League, a Canadian creation, that is looking for a few good men (players) for it's inagural 2005 season kickoff, next Feb. Pls. read carefully below. And don't forget to tell the NAIFL you heard about it here on MykWebT.V. Sports. Mahalo! 

NAIFL Combines Update "To all serious football players, The Pro Football Institute (PFI) is looking for players for a new Professional Indoor Football League in has been replaced here has been replaced here Canada, North American Indoor Football League, www.naifl.ca for all the details  Click here" Moose

Tues, Oct 12 04 "Off season Arena footy report!" Moose

"Starting back on September 16th, the Arena2 League Int'l player free agent signings/applications started and so far there are a record 9 Aussies and 17 Japanese singed up to go to the Training camps of the 25 (for now) Af2 teams. Training camp will start March 17th, 2005 and the sixth Reg. season of Af2 will kick off on the weekend 0f April 1-2, 2005. Canadian players will have to register by Oct 30th, if they are not on the rosters of any CFL clubs lists (i.e., Injured Reserve, Practice squads, Inactive lists, Territorial lists, et, al.). The reason for this slight change, which used to be uniform with the NFL E deal is that the proposed NAIFL, a new hybrid Indoor Football/Hockey League is still saying they will kick off on Feb. 5th. Myk and I will believe it when we see it. The NAIFL will have unique Canadian Indoor Football rules like, 3 - 20 minute periods, no rebound Nets, et, al. 

This is because, as I explained it on Total-CFL awhile back, the Arena Football League game system is copywrited and patented in the United States, Australia, Japan, U.K., Europe and Mexico against infringement of it's rules. That Jim Foster, who invented Arenaball is/was a genius! Also, New Orleans Arena team has signed one of the best QBs in Arena League history, Andy Kelly to a two year contract. Kelly has 34,000 yards between two season with the Rhein Fire in the NFL 'AAA's in Europe and 11 more seasons in the Ar.FL. Kelly has an alltime Pro Football record 638 career TDs! Un-friggin' real! The new Coach of the Af2 Quad City Steamwheelers, a real powerhouse in the Af2 is former Norfolk Nighthawk Coach Rick Frazier, who finished last season going 1-5 for the Grand Rapids Rampage as Interim H.Coach. Frazier has previously coached the Toronto Phantoms and the Milwaukee Mustangs of the Arena League. A good choice. Frazier has plenty experience Coaching in Ar.FL and Af2. I bet every Coach in the League would like to trade places with Hawai'i Islander's Coach Call Lee though. I know I would!" Moose

Fri Sept 24, 04 "Moose and Scott's Arena Footy update!" Myk Aussie

"The Arena Football League put out there fall offseason e-Newsletter yesterday and there is good news and bad news. Plus we have a local kid who's hanging up the cleats after 7 seasons in Ar.FL/Af2. First the good News. Larry Miller and his associates who own the Utah Jazz have purchased an Arena Football League team that should chase those inmitators from the NIFL out of town, the Utah Warriors. Next the League announced that Tennesee Titans owner, Bud Adams Nashville Kats will begin play again next year. Washington's Arena Football entry which is Co-Owned by Fran Drasner and Dan Snyder of the Redskins will also join the League's teams, probably in '06. On slate to be Coach of the new Utah Arena League team is former Arizona Rattler Coach Danny White, who was G.M./Coach of the Rattler's for their first 13 seasons. White recently had his contract expire by mutual consent by the current owners of Rattler's, the Colangelo's after losing his third consecutive ArenaBowl Championship loss.

The bad news alluded to earlier is that the League is killing off three weak sisters in three NFL cities: Carolina Cobras, the Detroit Fury and the Indiana Firebirds. Also in jeopardy in Af2 are the Wichita Stealth, 8-8-0 and who missed the Arena Cup playoffs for the first time in 4 seasons in the League, this past spring. The Stealth were dead last in the Af2 with only 3,600+ fans per game. Their offices are closed (I called last week), too. I wanted to order some merchandise! They could be back next year if they get a new owner by Dec., the Ar.FL tells me. Also calling it a career is former Wilson High School and Norfolk St. QB, Aaron Sparrow. Sparrow played for the Iowa Barnstormers, Nashville Kats, Buffalo Destroyers and Carolina in the Ar.FL and Norfolk, Augusta and Wichita in Af2. Aaron Sparrow's Career Passing Stats:

1997 Nashville Kats - Ar.FL 0 0 0 0 0
1998 Grand Rapids Rampage - Ar.FL 0 0 0 0 0
1999 Iowa Barnstormers - Ar.FL 0 0 0 0 0
2000 Augusta Stallions - Af2 513 335 4000 78 5
2001 Buffalo Destroyers -Ar.FL 0 0 0 0 0
2002 Carolina Cobras -Ar.FL 95 57 677 14 6
2003 Norfolk Nighthawks -Af2 252 152 1747 29 5
2004 Wichita Stealth -Af2 16 13 171 2 1

Arena Football Update By: Rich Salzer

The Florida Firecats defeated the Peoria Pirates, 39-26 Friday night at TECO Arena in Everblades Florida, before 6,417 fans. The Arena's capacity is 6,500. The big star of the game, in a losing cause, was Chicago Bear's LB brother, Casey Urlacher, who was released by the Bears late last Aug. ('03). Urlacher also failed to catch on with the Chicago Rush Arena League team and was the last cut in Feb. '04. Florida became the first American Conference team to win the Arena Cup since the

Arena League started the 'AAA' developmental League, in 2000. The M.V.P of Arena Cup V was Florida WR/KR Boris 'Magic Benton. Urlacher came within one yard of an Arena Cup record, with 23 yards rushing, 7.5. tackles and 1 TD. Coach John Fourcade, an ex-NFL/CFL/USFL/Ar.FL pivot, one his first Arena Cup in three tries. Last year he coached Macon, who lost at Tulsa. In '02 Fourcade's Fire- cats lost at Peoria, Ill. to the Pirates. A quick recap of the five Arena Cups:

'00 Quad City OVER Tennessee Valley
'01 Quad City OVER Richmond
'02 Peoria OVER Florida
'03 Tulsa OVER Macon
'04 Floria OVER Peorias
