From Moose "Arena Football Off-season report! Rule Changes! Team Movement and more!

Ar.FL: New team to unveil in Cleveland with Bernie Kosar as Pres./G.M and NFL Assistant Coaches with previous Arena playing/coaching experience. 

The Las Vegas Gladiators are moving to Cleveland and wil have a Cleveland Browns flavor with team Pres./G.M. being none other than Super Bowl QB Bernie Kosar, who won his Super Bowl ring with the Dallas Cowboys. Kosar played 12 years in the NFL with his native Cleveland, Miami and Dallas. Kosar is best known as the heir to the Arby's restaurant fortune and as Joe Thiesmann's ex-wife's little brother.

Kosar is also known as the QB Doug Flutie defeated, at the U. Miami-FL with the 64-yard bomb, 47-45 in the Orange Bowl in Nov. 1984, for Boston College. Others  of note in that game were: Coach Jack Bicknell, who later Coached Barcelona-Hamburg franchise to 74 wins in 14 NFL E seasons, LB Bill Romanowski, who is the only NFL LB to have played in five Super Bowls, winning a record-tying 4, Darren Flutie, until last year the CFL's all-time leading WR and several others.

Unfortunately the team will still be primarily owned by Mr. Ferraro, who previously moved the club from New Jersey, where they were the Red Dogs, to Las Vegas. In Vegas the club has gone through six coaches and had only one winning season. Good luck to them in Cleveland where they hope to establish a rivalry with all of a sudden hot Columbus! Now, here's a list of current NFL Coaches and Assistant Coach's who have previous Arena league playing/coaching experience:

Giants Offensive Coordinator John Hufnagel, New Jersey Red Dogs Head Coach, 1997-98. Eagles A.H. Coach/Offensive Coordinator Marty Mornhingweg, Denver Dynamite QB, 1987. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Offensive Ast./QBs, Jay Gruden, Tampa Bay Storm QB, 1991-96, Orlando Predators QB, 2002-03, Orlando Predators Coach, 1998-2001, 2004-present. Seahawks Offensive Line Coach, Bill Lavaroni, San Jose Saber Cats, 1995 O-line Coach. Titans Defensive Line Coach, Jim Washburn, Charlotte Rage, Ast. Coach O-Line 1993." Moose Salzer

Wed, Sept 19 07 "Off-season Report! Changes in Coaching and F/A Players!" Moose Salzer

The Las Vegas Gladiators signed their fifth Coach in four years, Mike Wilpolt to a three year deal. Wilpolt's previous Arena Head Coaching experience came in the 2004 season for the Indiana Firebirds when he replaced Steve DeBerg who got off to an 0-5 start. Wilpolt went 5-3-0 down the stretch and then the team went under. Wilpolt is a former Ar.FL player from Carolina and Las Vegas. 

Thanks again to Af2 Media Guru Marc Lestinsky and League executive Jerry Kurz for the great time at both ArenaBowl XX in New Orlean and ArenaCup 8 in Bossier City, LA this past summer. I had a blast.

Alabama Steeldogs Coach Ron Selesky who was an NFL player with New Orlean in 1988, has been named to new Grand Rapids Coach Steve Thonn [pronouce it 'Tawn'] staff as Defencive Coordinator with the Rampage. I guess St. Mary's [Canada U.] OL/DE Jaden Volchoff will have a new Coach to yell at them down there nest year. Actually I hope Jaden gets pulled up to the Rampage as well. He's one of the best blockers I've seen in Af2.

Back in the Af2 next year are: the Peoria Pirates, with former Coach Bruce Cowdry and the Jim Foster, Jr. lead Iowa Barnstormers. Both don't have I-net sites up yet.

Expect Brian Urlacher's New Mexico Af2 team to be operating and I will be attending a game next year.

The Oklahoma Yard Dagwz are under new Management. Gone are Barry Switzer and Horn Chen. In are Gary Reasons and Phil Miller.

Ex-CFL /Ar.FL player and Af2-Ar.FL Coach Danton Barto (Memphis/Las Vegas) is in now as the new Coach of the Manchester Wolves." Moose Salzer

Tues, Aug 21 07 "It's all set for Saturday's ArenaCup 8 Showdown in Shreveport-Bossier City! It's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, American Conference v. Tulsa Talons, National Conference" Moose Salzer

Af2 Conference Final Results:
American Conference: Wilkes-Barre/Scranton 46, Green Bay 43
National Conference: Tulsa 67, Bossier-Shreveport 47

This coming Saturday I will be covering the Tulsa Talons v. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers in ArenaCup 8, the Indoor Pro 'AAA' Championship of Af2. I know Regina's Danny Massier wishes he could be there but I will get him a program. I will also get Scott and John back home t-shirts/ and or hats. But back to the game. After I incorrectly picked the ArenaBowl XXI and NFL's last Europa Champs wrong, I got both the CFL picks this weekend and Af2 Conference picks right. Halleluyah! Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Tulsa have identical 17-2-0 marks and have been the cream of the class of '07 all year. Rio Grande Valley got knocked out with a 16-1-0 mark by Shreveport-Bossier City last weekend and yesterday Qunicy Carter's Battlewings lost to hard-charging Tulsa, 67-47. Two weeks ago I was in Tulsa, Oklahoma for the Af2 Semi-Final playoffs and the 89th PGAs. I said then that I thought Tulsa was the team to beat and I still believe it.  But not so fast. The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers, once started by the late, greatest ever Colts NFL QB, Johnny Unitas' group have been a great success story this season. Coach Rich Ingold, one of the original Ar.FL QBs, along with John Fourcade, Sean Payton, Mike Hohensee, Whit Taylor, Brendan Folmar, Marty Mornhingweg and Ed Rubbert, is  now the all-time winningest Coach in Af2 history. Ingold, an Indiana native passed Chris Siefried earlier this year and is now at 60 wins in his Af2 career.

ArenaCup 8 Pick:
Again I am sticking my neck out, but I am going with the newest team to make the Af2 Championship, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers 63, Tulsa 60, O.T. It'll be the best ArenaCup yet and the Talons won their last in their only attempt, back in 2003. Best of luck to both teams! See you Af2 fans in muggy Bossier City / Shreveport! In other Ar.FL news: The Los Angeles Avengers have re-signed OL Sean McNamara to a two-year contract through 2009 for about $88,000/per yr." Moose Salzer

I arrived in 'The Big Easy', home of the New Orlean Saints, coached by ex-Arena Bowl QB Sean Payton, on Thursday. I paid the extra $25 to go down early since I would have to have waited an extra two hours in the Atlanta airport. Not that I mind Atlanta airport, definitely better than Chicago or Newark, New Jersey! When I got to the Hotel on Saint Charles St., right next to where Oliver Stone filmed the movie JFK in Lafayette Parc, I noticed the 'Welcome Arena Football League' banners and ArenaBowl XXI placards on the light polls in town. It was a welcome sight. New Orlean has recovered 80% from that bitch Katrina that torn the town apart back in August 2005, when I was up in Shreveport, the ex-CFL city covering ArenaCup 6 for MYKwebTV.

I will be on the road covering a lot more footy in the next few weeks as the seemingly endless 'Economy with Dignity' world sports and footy tour continues. The ArenaCup is back in Shreveport-Bossier City at the CenturyTel Arena again. First time in league history that the two biggest Arena football games of the year are in the same state since AF2 was started in 2000. But back to New Orlean. The upstart Columbus Destroyers who had knocked off the three top seeds in the National Conference to get to the Championship. The San Jose Sabercats had won 12 games in a row and could be the next San Antonio Spurs or New England Patriots. That's what they would become. The festivities leading up to ArenaBowl XXI were very well planned and the great folkes of New Orleans rolled out the red-carpet for all the fans, Media (I'm both in this case) and League personnel! The downtown Sheraton Hotel was the official League Office, Radio Row and merchandise HQ during the Wednesday-Sunday game-time party after the game was over. Wednesday - Kick Off to ArenaBowl XXI was held at the Aquarium of the Americas with the Mascot challenge. The Desperados mascot won the contest.

Thursday was the Aaron Dreamgirls Cheerleaders competition. Utah's cheerleader won. Also the Georgia Force and Columbus Destroyers players helped finish a playground at the J.W. Johnson School with League Commissioner C. Dave Baker cutting the ribbon at the dedication ceremony.

Friday the following events took place: ArenaBowl Kickoff Fanfest at the Harrah's Casino. Don't worry, there was no gambling in the ballroom where the league paid for the party. Across town the Arena League  Awards show where Columbus QB Matt Nagy won the award for

Saturday: 10 a.m. Ar.FL players visited the Children's Hospital. 2 p.m. the annual Arena League combine took place outside the SuperDome on the field. 7 p.m. Live concert outside downtown at Spanish Plaza  where the band Stynx played.

Sunday: 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., after the game Free Entertainment, player and cheerleader autographs and prizes.

The game: San Jose won, 55-33 with a stifling Defence and caused several as per lately unusual turnovers by Columbus, who seemed a step too slow in this game.

Game Balls to the following players: 
1)  Darren Arbet, Coach, San Jose, (2) Cole Magner, WR, Columbus, (3) James Roe, WR, San Jose, (4) QB Mark Grieb, game M.V.P. and5) Trestin George, KR/WR San Jose

Other Indoor Footy News: The American Indoor Football Association has emerged from the ashes of the WIFL, AFIA and the NIFL with 16 teams to begin play in 2008; So far the teams are: Wyoming Cavalry, Fayetteville Guard, Baltimore Blackbirds, Canton Legends, Carolina Speed, Danville Demolition, Erie Freeze, Florence Fantoms, Huntington Heroes, Johnstown Rivery'ats, Lakeland Thunderbolts, Mississippi Mudcats and Pittsburgh Rats.

So Congratulations to the new Ar.FL dynasty, the San Jose Sabercats, who are now 3-0 in ArenaBowls.

Updated Sat, July 28 07 "Listen now to Moose on Sports Rage with Gabriel Morency last night  on Sirius Satellite Hardcore radio talking ArenaBowl XXI! Moose's ArenaBowl XXI preview that  is tomorrow! San Jose and Columbus move on to ArenaBowl XXI! Arena Football Conference Finals Done!" Myk Aussie

Listen now to Moose on Sports Rage with Gabriel Morency last night  on Sirius Satellite Hardcore radio talking AreanaBowl XXI!
In the Podcast section Sports Rage After Hours, July 27 Click here

From Moose "San Jose enters ArenaBowl XXI in familiar territory; they've been to two ArenaBowls before winning both (2002 and 2004). But the Columbus Destroyers, formerly the Buffalo Destroyers are for the first time. San Jose held on to defeat the pesky Defending Champ Rush, 61-49. Michna, who Winnipeg should have held onto threw 5 TDs in relief. Columbus, who was up by as many as 20 points twice(!)  beat number two seeded Georgia, 66-56. I would have thought, if D'Orazio had been healthy San Jose v. Chicago would have been more high scoring.

ArenaBowl XXI Preview: San Jose SaberCats (15-3-0) v. Columbus Destroyers (10-9-0) at New Orlean, LA. Arena. Time: Sunday, 3 p.m., EST, ABC TV. Mike Golic and Morency's buddy Mike (Ike) Greenberg on the mic. What to look for: SaberCats Offence v. the Destroyers Defence. Kinney, Thompson, Riley and Hall, three DLm and one LB give the Destroyers all the pass rush they need. They have successfully gotten to Brett Dietz of Tampa, Clint Dolezel of Dallas and Chris Griesen of Georgia enough to win three tough road games and get to the Vahala of the Arena Football League.

Oh, and QB Matt Nagy has already lead Georgia there before himself, losing closely to Elway-Bolen-Kroenke's Colorado Rush on a FG with only seconds left. Forget about the five game losing streak with six games left in the season and the  7-9-0 mark that (barely) got Columbus in the dance. These Destroyers are for real. I know San Jose has more total wins than anybody in the loop since the clock struck 2000. I know S.J. Coach Darren Arbet has two ArenaBowl rings already and so does QB Mark Grieb, who completes an unconscionable 74% of his passes. Kinney, Thompson, Coach Doug Kay, Ast. Coach Cecil Doggette and several other Columbus personnel have rings from Arena and Af2 Champ teams too. To get my predicted score: listen to Morency's show Friday night and next week it'll be here on the Internet too!

Watching the two Conference Ar.FL games from my Hotel bed Saturday while on assignment in Birmingham Alabama I couldn't help but being caught off guard by the difference in tone of the two games. In the National Conference game at 1 p.m. EST, Columbus the number six seed handles a seemingly nervous Georgia team with ease while ex-Winnipeg Blue Bomber pivot, lefty Russ 'Mikki' Michna, filling in for Defending ArenaBowl Champ QB, Chicago's Matt D'Orazio, Chicago kept San Jose on it's toes throughout."

Moose Salzer

Week 19 Scores:
Georgia 65, Philadelphia 39
Chicago 52, Los Angeles 20
San Jose 76, Colorado 67
Columbus 66, Dallas 59

Storyline: The long tall Texas man, with the lip droll stroded into the bar. He nodded at the barkeep to crack him open a cold one and took his seat near the back. Three other Caucasian athletes were already there. The tallest one, the 'Polish Prince' from Germany said, "Ve've ben waitin' for ja.", with a slight accent. Next to him was the greatest American born Hockey player of all-time. And nearest the 'other QB in town', was the one from Jerry Jones other team. The 6'5" QB from indoor Pro Footy nodded to them and took his seat.

The lineup, l to r: Dirk Nowitzski, Mike Modano, Tony Romo and now Desperados QB Clint Dolezel. These four Captains from their respective Dallas Pro Sports teams had one thing in common. During the 2006-07 sports calendar year, had their teams; the Mavericks, South Stars, Cowboys and Desperados had ALL failed to advance far in the playoffs, losing to lower seeded opponents. Firs it was the Cowboys, with their new boy-wonder QB Romo, who blew a routine hold on a chip-shot FG that allowed the Seattle Seahawks to escape Big D with a 21-20 NFL playoff win. 

Modano's Stars got ousted at home in the first round of the NHL playoffs, losing to the 'Todd Betuzzi-less' Vancouver Canucks. Then the Mavericks got 'cacked' by the [get this!], Don Nelson-lead Golden St. Warriors, who had last year set the NBA all-time record for NOT making the playoffs for 13 straight seasons (kinda the opposite of the Edmonton Eskimos who had made the CFL playoffs 33 STRAIGHT years in a row). Ouch! But the worst of the four may be the highly regarded Desperados of the Arena Football League who got trumped AT HOME (!) by the [double get this] Columbus Destroyers, who came into Big D with a (are you sitting down?) unenviable record of 8-9.

Call it the 'Big Hurt'. And I'm not talking about Toronto Blue Jays hitter/fielder Frank Thomas either. Dallas really fell asleep at the wheel but it was more than just an underrated team getting hot on the road in the playoffs when it comes down to brass tacks. With Dallas trailing, two minutes to go in the contest, the biggest error in Arena Football history happened. They took 44 seconds to get their XP unit on the field. Unforgivable.

Give Columbus credit. Three times in the game former Dallas K Pete Martinez of Columbus hit the iron on the net frame with kicks and twice (IN A ROW!) the Destroyers recovered the kicks. The first, the kick to start the second half Columbus took right in for the TD. The next kick was wresteled away from a lazy (or tired?) Will Pettis, usually the best kick returner in the league this year. Both times Columbus scored TDs.

Dallas had seemed comfortably ahead at the half with a 38-28 lead. At halftime also Columbus Coach Doug Kay (U.Hawai'i, '80-'82, Assoc.H. Coach/Defencive Coordinator) calmly told his charges, "The next half (of the game) is yours to make what you can out of it." In contrast, Will McClay, the arrogant Dallas Coach lulled his troops to sleep with the bland, "They tryin' to get where we already are, an' they ain't gonna do it!!!" [Hhmmm...Ebonics or bad grammar,  anyone?]

Dallas fans can't blame this one on Dolezel anymore than South Stars fans can blame Modano, or Mavericks fans can blame Nowitzki. But Cowboys fans can SURE blame Romo, who is probably trying to remember Paris' (she's out of jail isn't she?) digits from speed dial.  Dallas forgot two things that GREAT Arena teams should never forget; former players ALWAYS look for ways to make the team they left look bad. Martinez and WR Jason Shelly (who scored two late TDs for the Destroyers) did that.

The other most important thing to ALWAYS remember about your opponent is if you have the chance to blow them out and put them away, do it. Too many times over the years in Pro Football I've seen nice-guy and not-so-nice-guy Coaches let teams hang around.

Back at the bar, Nowitzki, Modano and Romo left to go about their lives. Their seasons were over and it was time to move on. Clinton Dolezel's nightmare was just starting. Many more Buds won't make it go away. Somebody pay this man's tab and call him a cab!

San Jose vs Chicago
National Conference game and pick this weekend:

Fri, July 6 07 "Arena Football League Report! Week Two Playoffs! Week One Results!" Moose Salzer

Playoffs Round One Scores:
Los Angeles 64, Utah 44
Philadelphia 41, Orlando 26
Colorado 49, Kansas City 42
Columbus 56, Tampa Bay 55
I predicted three of four correctly in week one of the Ar.FL playoffs.

Week Two Match ups.
Columbus at Dallas, What to watch for. Dallas should win and I predict they will in O.T. But they better not try to blow out upstart Columbus. The Destroyers barely made the playoffs but finally won on the road defeating an overrated Tampa Bay team [QB Matt Nagy, who's been  to the ArenaBowl before, was Offensive player of the week]. Dallas would be wise to treat these guys with respect or they'll be upset victim number two for the Destroyers in the '07 Playoffs. Predicted Finish, Dallas 57, Columbus 56, O.T. Philadelphia at Georgia, Blowout of the week! Expect Bon Jovi's guys to get killed by the best team in the League {Remember these guys from Art Blank's team blew out Dallas earlier this year}. Expect QB Tony (The Graz) Graziani to get hit after and hard by Georgia Coach Doug Plank's charges! Prediction: Georgia 77, Philadelphia 45 (Ouch! Blue-haired foxx Moxie will be mad at me!)

Los Angeles at Chicago, Fireworks for here for sure! Defending Champ Chicago is as riled up as Majority Owner Mike Ditka was at those NFL-Senate Disability hearing two weeks ago! Chicago can't let up against hard charging L.A., who blew away Utah at the Staples Centre, home of new movie producer Elton J. Brand's Clippers! Bob McMillen v. Josh Jeffries should be as fun as Bobby Sippio v. Kelvin Ingram! Matt D'Orazio will throw one more TD and maybe a two-point convert at well. As long as QB Sonny Cumbie doesn't get too many time count violations, L.A will hang - for three quarters of the game. Chicago 60, Los Angeles 53.

Colorado at San Jose. The  Sabercats just get no respect. The late Rodney Dangerfield would like these guys. Like him, they are winners too, despite the above. QB match up has ex-teammates John Dutton (two ArenaBowl wins) v. Mark Grieb and his two ArenaBowl rings. Because of Coach Darren Arbet's great staff and, Grieb and depth, I give a decisive edge to the Sabercats at home; San Jose 67, Colorado 59.

Final Week Seventeen Standings 2007
1)   Dallas            15-1-0
2)   Georgia         14-2-0
3)   San Jose       13-3-0
4)   Chicago        12-4-0

Skaggs who caught 21 passes for 3 TDs early in the year, collapsed last month at practice after being dizzy and nauseated. He was later diagnosed as having a tumour on the top of the brain and it was attempted to be shrunk by lasers, et, al. Skaggs started his Pro career as a WR with Washington and played there his first two Pro seasons. He caught 1 pass for a 5 yard first down in 2002 v. Philadelphia.

He played with Washington in '01 & '02. He then left to the NFL E 'AAA's where he played for Amsterdam in '03. He made the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in '04 but was allocated back to Amsterdam in the spring of '05. Skaggs was a starting WR on the NFL E Championship team in Amsterdam in '05 and came directly to the Ar.FL and Orlando several days after the short 11 game NFL E season was concluded in June '05. He signed with Utah in early '06, where he played until his recent death. Skaggs caught 146 passes for 1,733 yds., 26 TDs in seven Pro years with five teams in three Pro leagues. R.I.P., Justin Skaggs.

From Moose. "What ever happened to ex-Saskatchewan/Calgary WR Travis Moore? Why I saw a glimpse of him on Monday Night Arenaball--he's now the New Orlean's WR Coach in Ar.FL! Speaking of New Orlean, how do you lose a six point game with seconds left in the 1:00 timing clock, in a desperation game for the playoff seedings, at home? Let Mike Neu Coach your team; Example: Neu's V's score with 1:09 remaining. They replaced injured vet QB Andy Kelly {now with 44,000+ career yds., 42,500+ in Arena Football!} with a red-hot Steve Bellisari (the former 230 lb. Rams backup S!). All Steve did was throw an Indoor Pro Football high, for him, 6 TDs and run for two more. With 1:00 remaining, after N.O. fell on a great onside kick by their new K, the V's throw along pass. That plus the dopey New York pass interference gives them a first and goal with 40 seconds left. They have one time out, N.Y. none. First play, Bellisari, from Scott Terna's THE Ohio St., runs to the  - one! On purpose (maybe he could have gotten in).

The Coach then has him run left, two inches when he could have scored. Third down with 11 seconds left. NEW ORLEAN calls TIMEOUT! On third down, you guessed it, Neu tells Bellisari, who tied an all-time Arena League high with 17 carries in the game, to QB sneak it again! He gets nailed for a yard loss. Then on fourth down the worst call in Arenaball's history; a fourth QB sneak that is stopped at the one. In the lat minute of the game, New Orlean's runs four times for zero yards...I understand you want to run the clock down and N.Y. QB Aaron Garcia, on his daughter's ninth birthday had been red-hot with 8 TDs, quite average for this Pro, on the road in the home of ArenaBowl XXI. But you have to score the TD to tie then the convert, which in Arenaball is no gimme, to win by one (or two). Bellisari definitely could have scored on at least second down.

The V's set an Arenaball record with four straight carries, unless someone out there knows the last time in the last 21 yrs., when another Arena League team has run four straight times (?)! Oh, the Voodoo mascots are called 'Mojo', kind of a Ralph 'The Dog' type meets the 'Banana Splits' type furry character, and a guy wearing a top hat, plastic skull and ribs sticking out of his tails named 'Bonehead'. Do you think he could trade places with Coach Mike Neu next week? He couldn't do any worse!" Moose Salzer

From Moose "The Tampa Bay Storm helped Coach Tim Marcum win his record 185th game this weekend, on Friday night by whipping Arizona by nine points behind red hot rookie QB Brett Dietz, who is now 4-0-0 since taking over  the starting pivot job. Speaking of also coming back from the dead, Las Vegas won rookie Coach Danton Barto his second game of the year with a one-point'r over slumping Utah. The Blaze may NOT be the other Utah team (to the NBA's 'Jazz') to win a Pro Championship (provided the Jazz hold up their end of the bargain...), by losing their sixth straight game, as ex-Hawai'i QB Nick Rolovich celebrated his first Arena start ever (1-0-0).
