Beat the Guru: AFL Week 11
Adam Markowitz, ArenaFan.com

I’m so tired of ESPN, it’s not even funny. One week the dump button picks up nothing that it should. The next anything that even remotely sounds like profanity gets bleeped.

A nose for the endzone
GwinnettHerald.com

Newton's catch of an errant D Bryant pass and subsequent 45-yard scamper to the endzone at the opening of the third quarter gave his team its first lead against Kansas City after mounting a furious comeback from a 21-point deficit. Then, he gave his team a little insurance later when he ran back a 14-yard interception to seal the deal.

I’ve Seen Enough, Give Us Replay
Jeff Sims, ArenaFan.com

It is not often that I decide to rant to the masses, but I have seen enough this season with bad calls, especially late in games, that are aiding in the outcome of games. With the competition committee looking to improve the game each year, it is time that they do the one thing that will improve this game more than anything else, give us some form of instant replay!

Six road teams won in the AFL’s seventh week of 2008. The two home teams to win (Kansas City and Chicago) did so against fellow Central Division opponents and by a combined five points.
