Monday Night (Arena) Football Liveblog: Philly at Georgia

12 05 2008

So, as we’re all well aware, there’s a crazy gimmick for tonight’s MN(A)F game: your announcing crew is… everybody! We’re going to try to document this disaster. My theory: train wreck that a plane crashes on to, the wreckage of which is loaded onto a tanker which runs aground in the Aleutian Islands, and everyone who isn’t eaten by polar bears is picked up by a zeppelin that explodes.

Other analysis: Philadelphia by 17. Georgia has been awkwardly stumbling from game to game on defense, and hasn’t really found a rhythm on offense. Philadelphia is (a) operating like a surgeon and (b) irritated about letting their guard down last week. Let’s see what happens.

We’re also going to try this liveblogging software thing, and if it works, great, if it doesn’t… Sorry, four people.

If you’re interested, do this thing:

Okay, you should be seeing frames, and you’re probably not. Work, dammit! And if it doesn’t end up working, go here: LIVEBLOG!

That was fun. My thoughts, from the end of the liveblog were thusly:
I think we were best served when Ray was commenting by himself. Also, if we could get a more judicious use of the microphones, instead of “Hey, it’s the guys on the field all the time: isn’t that weeeeeeirrrrd?” that’d be great. Stick Ray on the sidelines, because that was cool, but let him talk more.

The game was a solid B+ (Philadelphia played pretty sloppily), and the experiment a B or B-.





The Official ISF Arena Bowl XXI Playoff Bracket (Wildcard round not included)

6 07 2007

The Official ISF Arena Bowl XXI Bracket - it’s Crap-Tacular!

Someone on the Googles has been looking for it. ISF is proud to deliver: The Official “It’s Still Football” Crap-Tacular AFL Playoff Bracket!

Click above to print it off! Start an office pool! Impress your friends! The Official “It’s Still Football” Crap-Tacular AFL Playoff Bracket features several lines, many letters of text, and four, count ‘em, four poorly-edited photos of varying digital quality! The Official “It’s Still Football” Crap-Tacular AFL Playoff Bracket will guide you through all seven games remaining in the 2007 season, right up to the moment John Elway stages his coup and re-brands the AFL as NFL Junior (TM)*.

Believe it or not, as crap-tacular as this bracket is, the amount of time I put into making it was equal to three viewings of Any Given Sunday, which translates into one viewing of a Cleveland Indians game with Betancourt on the mound, or one-half viewing of a NASCAR “race”. So, you know, enjoy the crap-tacular-ness.

*John Elway staging a coup to rebrand the AFL into the NFL Junior (TM) is nothing but Unsubstantiated Gossip (TM).

UPDATE: Googlers, if you’re looking for the bracket for ArenBowl XXII brought to you by Virgin Mobile, click here.





Week 15 Power Rankings, CMRP, and Weekend Pillow Fight (with beer)

8 06 2007

In the interest of brevity, we’ll just get right to it. Especially because quitting time is in 29 minutes and damn if I’m sticking around here any longer than necessary. This week’s Beer-Themed Power Rankings are brought to you by Alcoholism, right after the jump: Read the rest of this entry »





Week 13 Power Rankings, CMRP, and Weekend Pillow Fight

25 05 2007

Once again, it is time for your ISF team to break down the weekly power rankings from Scouts, Inc. and insert our bold-faced wit and wisdom; also we’ll lay out the Pillow Fight of the Week, and see if Randomness can prevail and get back to a .500 record, all after the jump:

(Ed. note: prior to the jump we will completely ignore the fact we totally jinxed “American Idol” and ruined someone’s life who’s only crime was having a non-sanctioned fan site that commented on an AFL blog)

Yes, I'm using this pic again. I don't think you'll mind

Once again, it is time for your favorite Fizzle’d editor to take Scouts Inc.’s weekly AFL power rankings and be a total wise-ass. Also, we have a fresh Can’t Miss Random Pick that could put us to the 5-4 mark, and one hell of a Pillow Fight to look forward to. If you’re one of our (currently) four regular readers, now is the time to take the jump.

Quik Poll: do we have regular readers?

2 05 2007

An easy way to get more people to participate in the democratic process

Power Rankings! In Haiku!

13 04 2007

So! As my currently-Florida-based co-editor mentioned, you’re left with me to amuse you today. Since he didn’t have time to snark on the weekly power rankings from Scouts, Inc., I shall do so. In haiku. Technically, it’s something else, because haikus require a reference to nature, but I don’t care. Also, I was stymied by coding earlier, so sorry for the posts that didn’t say anything. On to the power rankings. (P.S. You’ll note that I’m going against the CMRP this week. We’re not afraid to disagree with each other.)
