Glad to see Bernie Morris is still playing. Morelli was in camp with the Hartford Colonials back during the summer. I was hoping the Voodoo would make the trip up to Pittsburgh.

The Business Side of Sports

The NFL is unique. The popularity of the National Football League has been so consistent over the years that it dominates any would-be competitors. Many outdoor professional football leagueshave started in the U.S. and failed, including the well-financed USFL of the 1980s and the XFL of the early 2000s. One league that has bucked that trend is the Arena Football League (AFL), an indoor league founded in 1987. Despite a one year stoppage after the 2008 season to redesign the league’s economic model, the AFL was back running in 2010.

gotta chance to see Morelli at PSU. I see this as a move to try to relaunch his career. I just think he has a better chance of being successful in the AFL then the NFL.
