Project News
- Arena Football League only infoboxes have been created and need to be added to ALL AFL players. This infobox is for active AFL players only. However, this one is for players who retired from the AFL and NOT another league.
- Infoboxes are currently being worked on for af2.
- A few new templates have been created and added to the appropriate articels, however if you have ideas for a template leave them here.
- The assessment function has been added and the count is over 300 articles at the moment.
- Articles for the more popular and "star" players of the league need to be expanded, have citations added to them and hopefully we can get some GA's out of them.
- All articles on active players and coaches need to be updated with stats, news, and all things important. (Note: For stats it's best to use ArenaFan.)
- Also, we NEED to get things done so we can take them off of the to do list.
Current Events
- After an almost 20 year wait, former Washington Redskins wide reciever Art Monk will finally be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, August 2, 2008, along with Fred Dean, Darrell Green, Emmitt Thomas, Andre Tippett, and Gary Zimmerman.
- The Philadelphia Soul and the San Jose SaberCats faced each other in the Virgin Mobile ArenaBowl XXII on July 27, 2008. The Soul defeated the SaberCats by a final score of 59-56. A big congratulations goes out to all the players and coaches who had a great season this year.
- It was reported by the Philadelphia Daily News that Philadelphia was still in the hunt to host the 2009 ArenaBowl, though it wasn't alone. In fact, interest has been shown by Hawaii to host the event.
- Will Pettis was announced as the AFL's 2008 IronMan of the Year.
- The Columbus Destroyers named Pat Sperduto head coach.
- On July 26, 2008 AFL commissioner C. David Baker resigned after 12 years.
- Pat O'Hara was hired as the head coach of the Los Angeles Avengers on July 25, 2008.
- Cleveland Gladiators head coach Mike Wilpolt was named coach of the year.
This Month in Football History
- Every year in August, in Canton, Ohio the Pro Football Hall of Fame inducts a new class.
- On August 31, 1997, Eddie George ran for 216 yards on 35 carries and one touchdown as the Tennessee Oilers, playing their first game in Tennessee, beat Oakland 24-21 in overtime at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis.
Arena Football League Article Stats
- Our goal is to get the number of Stub-Class articles down to 0, in due time. The current count is 185, and will probably be growing in the near future. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help expand and/or source an article or two. A list is provided in the stub-class category of stub articles that need to be improved, and some should be fairly easy.
