Lemme rephrase that... I've seen it once before. It was actually in my first ever Arena Football game. Orlando played Arizona in the Arena Bowl back when Ben Bennett was QBing, Barry Wagner was still a kid, Hunkie Cooper was the best offensive threat in the game, and Durwood Roquemore was the modern day Kenny McEntyre for the Preds... for Arizona, Bonner was a rookie, Hunkie Cooper was just becoming a bust out player, and Danny White was in his first couple years with the team. That was back in the 14 game schedule, when there were 2 preseason games, expanded rosters and blah blah blah... To put it in better perspective, Jay Gruden was quarterbacking under Tim Marcum... when Marcum had blonde hair.... Anyway...

Arizona scored on their first possession of the game, but for some reason, the kicker was in the locker room. Arizona lined up to go for two in a peculiar fashion... Bonner was in the shotgun. He tried dropkicking the ball... in the Arena Bowl of all places....

So it's the first regular season dropkick I've seen attempted and the first since.... geez, I guess that was '93.

Better perspective as to how long ago it was the last time we saw a dropkick attempt in the AFL....

Joe Hamilton was in middle school and Cory Fleming was winning a Super Bowl ring with the Dallas Cowboys when they went on that 3 rings in 4 years by beating up the Buffalo Bills and Neil O'Donnell. AD MacPherson was either in his last year of elementary school or his first year of middle school at the time.

Remember something Guru, the Cowboys didn't beat up Neil ******* O'Donnell. He made a deal with Larry Brown before the game to split his massive contract he'd be getting 50-50. TWO INTERCEPTIONS WHEN NO ONE WAS AROUND AND THIGPEN WAS RUNNING THE STOP AND GO BOTH TIMES!!!!! TWICE!!!!! HOW THE HELL DO YOU NOT ADJUST!!!!!!! That game was ******* Pittsburgh's, we dominated the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters and we woulda won that game even if Jim Abbott was throwing with his knub instead of Neil O'Donnell

Lol... knew that would rile you up BrownsFan... That aside, games start in about a half hour. Dunno what game I get, but I hope it's Colorado/Chicago..... but I'm sure it's the stupid Philly game.

Sorry I was late on this Buzz, but if you did, it wasn't a bad idea.

Great, one minute, and Chicago already has a passing TD... 6-0 Chicago pending PAT.

Chicago is playing a very interesting brand of defense, bump and running into a zone that sort of looks like Orlando's, but something I can't put my finger on yet. Colorado inside the Chicago 15

LA stopped, but Remy comes through. 3-0 LA

Boy Chicago's fired up. Pick here... that's 1 for Dutton, but at least it helps the under.

Big time don't like the way this game is going in Chicago... TD Philyaw to McDaniel... no pass rush whatsoever. Rashard Floyd just got beat. 7:35 left in the 1st quarter, 14-0 Rush

Chicago's gonna walk away from this game if Colorado doesn't get going. 14-0 Rush getting the ball again after Colorado gets stopped on downs. This can get real ugly, real fast.

Nashville's D is nasty... another sack... 3 for the game now I believe. Minuchi seems like he's getting to the QB on every play according to these announcers, but they ARE Nashville announcers...
