Personally, I'm cool with the NFL being complemented by the AFL. It's different enough from the NFL product without being too gimmicky. Plus, if there was really more demand for football in fall/winter than supply, wouldn't people just watch the CFL?

They are on TV. Versus (the new television sports network) covers most of them and CBS or NBC is covering the finals along with Versus. I imagine that if you had a local team, you could watch them on your local channels. I love the Blackhawks, but they haven't been worth a crap since the early 90's. My 2nd team is Anaheim, so it's not like I can catch many regular season games. Versus covered the playoffs extremely well, though. Playoff hockey this year was nothing short of incredible.

The NHL has a horrible marketing crew. For instance, the ONLY size jersey you can buy is an XL and they cost right around $100.00. Now, I understand that jerseys are supposed to be big, but I could NEVER even come close to fitting in an extra large. I'm not paying $100.00 for a bed sheet. Unfortunately, that's all they offer unless you buy childrens-sized jerseys. They need a new campaign or something. Because, beside myself, I only know two other guys in the state that give a crap about hockey. One of them didn't even watch a game all season.

It's pathetic. And, all these people thinking about going against the NFL should really take this into consideration.
