Shock could merge AFL, af2
Adam Markowitz, ArenaFan.com

I'm not saying that the Spokane Shock are anywhere near like the New York Jets of 1969. It is pretty clear that QB Kyle Rowley is one of the best indoor quarterbacks in the AFL or any other alphabet league, and the Shock are clearly a fantastic squad that took it to the best in the league all season long.

Adam Markowitz, ArenaFan.com

The Guru is back after taking a hiatus for a few weeks just in time for the playoffs! The regular season was a tumultuous one to say the least, as there were a number of ups and downs, freakish results, thrilling conclusions, and of course, refereeing that leaves a lot to be desired. As we start the playoffs though, there are two major flaws in the system, one of which the league has at least found a remedy for, while the other appears as though it will go completely ignored.
