A Brief History

Somebody famous (I’m going to guess Jesus) once said “We can only see where we’re going by first examining where we’ve been,” or something like that. Google is of no help in identifying that quote, so I’m setting the tone for this examination of AFL history by making things up at the beginning of the first sentence. What follows is a history of the Arena Football League. Many “facts” are out-and-out lies, many are outrageous exaggerations, but many things are also factual, so it’ll be a fun game for all of us.

Oh - also, it helps if you pretend this is being read to you by Bill Kurtis.
