Week 4 Results - Winners: Orlando,Buffalo, Tampa, San Jose, Las Vegas, Detroit, Chicago & Indiana...Week 4 Notes/Injuries: Orlando is now the only
undefeated team left in the indoor Pro League...But the Preds win @ Caroliana was a costly one...QB Jay Gruden, he of 20 TDs & no Ints., is now
out for 6-7 weeks w/ a broken ankle...Gruden, who was interviewed @ halftime of the NBC game of the week said he heard three pops when a Carolina lineman rolled up on his ankle on the 2nd offencive play of the 2nd half, as he threw his third TD of the game...Reserve QB Connell Maynor, who lead the Preds to the 2000 Championship went 22pts. to-0 in leading the Preds to victory after Jay's injury & replaces him...

The Preds should be in good shape, as Maynor usually replaces Gruden in the Red Zone & is the teams
holder...Maynor, an outstanding athlete, has played 5 different positions in his ten seasons in the league...Maynor is the most feared running QB in the
league, anyway & would still be starting if Gruden hadn't returned to the playing field last season...Speaking of injured QBs, Former Univ. of Hawai'i
pivot Tim Carey has done a good job @ Buffalo since replacing injured Jeff Loots, who will be out for 8 weeks w/ a separated shoulder...It was some
barn-burner yesterday on NBC as Detroit held off a furi-ous(sorry about the pun!) rally by Joe (the 'Godfather') Avezzano's Dallas Desperados,
53-49...How about Mr. Wright(#96)'s play on Detroit's extra point attempt when he blocked the extra point, scooped up the loose ball & ran for a
two-pt. conv. for Dallas kick-defence...This is important in Ar.FL since the team that gives up the two point return then has to kick off to the team
that just scored!..Coach Avezzano was the guest on Gabriel Morency's Sportrage the night before I was(Thus. last week)!..

It seems as though Billy Dicken has recaptured the starting QB job w/ Chicago after their win v. L.A...Dallas almost won @ Detroit despite the fact they lost ex-Baltimore
Stallion Grey Cup Champ Shannon Culver & TE/DL Shante Carver w/ injuries in the v. the Fury...Fury lost Carl Myricks, OL/DL w/ a partial concussion...I
am predicting a win for all three winless teams this week & all three of their coaches are safe - for now...Arena League Picks for week five:
Chicago Rush <over> Buffalo Destroyers
Arizona Rattlers<over>Dallas Desperados
New York Dragons<over>Orlando Predators
Colorado Crush<over>Indiana Firebirds
Carolina Cobras<over>Grand Rapids Rampage
San Jose Sabercats<over>Las Vegas Gladiators
...the other two games are toss-ups...may the team that plays the best win...More next week" Moose

Feb 19, 2003 "Moose Me Nth American Footy Expert his Arena Footy week 4 report" Myk Aussie Subject: Arena Football Week 4 Report
Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2003 15:02:51 -0500 By: 'Moose/Arenaball' Salzer

Week three (3) Results:

Buffalo Destroyers 49, Arizona Rattlers 45
Las Vegas Gladiators 61, Tampa Bay Storm 55
Detroit Fury 49, Carolina Cobras 44
Georgia Force 51, San Jose Sabercats 49
Grand Rapids Rampage 66, New York Dragons 63
Indiana Firebirds 28, Chicago Rush 23
Los Angeles Avengers 59, Colorado Crush 53, OT
Orlando Predators 50, Dallas Desperados 47

Week three Notes... Jay Gruden now, in 3 games has 17 TDs & NO ints...The Preds have been in more Arena Bowls than any other team in the league & seem to be headed to their 7th...Nobody in the league is as strong as them yet!..Chicago seems to have forgotten how to score...they
are only averaging 22 pts. per game so far...They have used Chad Salisbury (ex-Toronto Phantom), Brian Ay Yat (ex-Winnipeg,CFL) & Billy Dicken (ex-Hamilton Tiger-cat) as pivot but nothing has won them a game yet...But surprisingly they are No.2 in the elague on defence to Orlando

John Elway / Pat Bolen sat in the luxury box & watched their expansion Colorado Crush slip to a very expansion-like 0-3, in their narrow overtime loss to L.A...Despite an 8 TD performance by hand-picked by-Elway QB, John Dutton...Dutton, who was Arena Bowl MVP last Aug.
for Champion San Jose, in relief of injured Mark Grieb(ex-Scotland NFLE) There is a real NFL Euro feel to the Crush as coach Bob Beers, Sr. spent a stint in NFL AAA w/ Barcelona...His son Bob, Jr., who coaches the line was Off. Line Coach on two NFL E Champ teams the last two season w/ Berlin...Off. Coordinator Mike Perez who QB'd in Ar.FL for 6 seasons is the 1st QB for the Frankfurt Galaxy ('91-'92) & played there for John's father, the late Jack Elway...Crush fans should relax as the wins should start coming in a few weeks...Remember, NBC pumped the season up to 16 games in Arena league this season so there's still time.

Their still better than Carolina, New York & Chicago...And there's still time for those squads, too...12 teams will make the playoffs again this season as NBC wants to maximize coverage to set up regional rivalries...The studio hacks, Al Trautwig(?) & Glen Parker waste too much time worrying about what the NFL should or shouldn't do about 'minority' hirings in coaching...These clowns don't know much about Arenaball so they prattle on about other leagues alleged problems
...Only Michael Irvin (AND THIS IS A NICE SURPRISE!) has shown any interest in the league they are covering...I think I'll e-mail NBC Sports & see if I can't shake the meatheads up...In a nice Salzer way of course...After all I love the Ar.FL & was one of the 1st people on the planet to play one of "the greatest sport ever created" - arenaball, or as I like to call it, Hockey-Football...

The Gruden Bros. continue to rock the house...This week Jay had as his front row guest his father Jim Gruden, Sr., who's other son is a doctor...Last week Jay's front row guests were his Bro,
Jon & Tampa Bucc DL Warren Sapp, who had the quote of week one...he  said,"...I've loved the indoor war since '91 when Orlando came into this league..."...When NBC's fine sideline man Lewis Johnson asked Sapp if he'd like to play both 'sides-of-the-line' in an Arena game, Warren said
"...we'd better leave that to the professionals..."...I'm glad I tape every game...More next week, oh before I forget, Buffalo paid for it's win over Arizona...It lost starting QB Jeff Loots for 6 weeks w/ a separated right passing shoulder...Ouch!...More next week from the greatest Sports site in the World, MYKwebWORLD" . - Moose, over & out...

Feb 14, 2003 " Moose Me Nth American Footy Expert his Arena Footy report" Myk Aussie

Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2003 11:25:21 -0500 Arena Football week three preview

Ar.FL Notes...The Las Vegas Gladiators have released OL/DL Neal Fort, who said he'd pick up some 'easy money' from playing Arenaball this spring...He has signed a new two-yr. deal w/ the Alouettes so he can end his career w/ the franchise...He started w/ the Baltimore Stallions in '94-'95 when they went to the 83rd & 84th Grey Cups...How about Jay Gruden?...12 Touchdowns in two weeks w/ no interceptions...3 weeks after helping his bro Jon win the Super Bowl w/ Tampa Bay Buccs (NFL)...Jay now has 7 Championship rings from Pro Football, w/ 6 Arena (4 as QB w/ the Tampa Bay Storm; 2 more w/ Orlando Predators as coach) & one Super Bowl ring w/ Tampa Buccaneers as an assistant coach...

A recent article from the Sporting News had this to say about NBC's involvement w the fastest growing Sport on planet earth...NBC will succeed w/ the Ar.FL where they failed w/ the X-FL for the following reasons: (1) Games are on Sun. afternoons not Sat. nights, (2) NBC pays nothing to televise the games, (3) It's real Football, (4) It has real announcers like former NFL/WFL QB Pat Haden & vet Tom Hammonds, (5) There's no Jesse Ventura or Brian Bosworth(less), (6) NBC has joined w/ Ar.FL in regionalizing every once of every game, (7) All other leagues that have played in the NFL's offseason have failed; WFL('74-75), USFL('83-85), WLAF('91-'92), X-FL('01) 

THEY AREN'T MUST SEE T.V.!...Now to some of the detractors; an idiot named Bob Molinaro of the local fishwrap, the
Pilot-less Alledgedstar recently blasted the league, which has been in business for 17 yrs. now, longer than he has, & I called the local paper & reminded him that we have a struggling Af2 team in town called the Norfolk Nighthawks, who are popular & need our support from the grass-roots level & his constant digs v. Arena 1 aren't helping...Myk's mate, late night Jay Leno blasted his own network for joining w/ the Ar.FL...Hey Jay it's a great sport!.

Arena/Arena related notes...Jay Gruden, Jon's bro, Tampa QB coach, made a successful return to the indoor game yesterday leading the always dangerous Orlando Predators to a 12 pt. win over Mike Hohensee's Rush...Former New Jersey Red Dog, Tommy Maddox passing target, New Orlean Saint Michael Lewis set all-time Pro Bowl return yardage marks in the 24 Honolulu Pro Bowl Myk & I attended in Oahu on Feb, 2nd, '03...A successful debut on NBC T.V. for Arena Footy as the Los Angeles Avengers defeated an equally determined Las Vegas Gladiators team...

NBC basically relocated the former N.J. Red Dogs (Micheal Lewis former club) six weeks ago...Back on this date in '01 Vince McMahon started his X-FL & NBC had a very successful Las Vegas game, so you can see why Las Vegas appealed to them as a place for Arenaball...There once was a Las Vegas team in the Arena league in '94, the Las Vegas Sting...There was also a Las Vegas team that year in the CFL in '94 called the Posse... Speaking of the CFL, another league I love, there are currently 9 CFL players playing in the 'A' league...To Kalani Simpson of the Honolulu Star Bulletin, the Arena league IS Pro Football...the rest of his article on Michael Lewis was OK but I could have done better since I interviewed Michael Lewis in San Diego last week when he won the NFL Special teams player of the year award hosted by former N.Y. Jet QB Boomer Esiason...Interesting comments Boomer made about Al Michaels last week, too...I was upstairs in the media box @ Pro Bowl yesterday, but Myk wouldn't let me.....

New Coaches Al Lugenbill, formerly w/ Amsterdam (NFL E)/ Los Angeles Extreme (X-FL) W/ the Detroit Fury & Ron Selesky, formerly in Af2 Albany, now w/ Buffalo lost their Arena League debuts in week one...Areanfootball2 starts the end of March...Myk & I want to say hello to Herk Sparshain, half owner of the National Indoor Football League Champion Ohio Valley Greyhounds, who was vacationing here in Honolulu during Pro Bowl week...We met Herk @ Duke's Canoe Club restaurant one night
& saw him on the beach w/ the other half owner recently...More news & results next week. Moose Salzer.
