Quarterbacks that the Spokane Shock should get

The Spokane Shock are currently filling their roster for the upcoming season and it's apparent the talent level has been ramped up quite a bit. That opens up the possibility that we might see some recognizable names coming through the Spokane Arena. Here's who I think they should go after...

Doug Flutie - They play on a small field, might as well go after a small quarterback. I think Doug Flutie is the only NFL quarterback in history not allowed on a rollercoster because of his height. "Awww look at the small guy, they put pads on him and everything..."

Mister Ed - This guy is clutch and would only require hay as pay.

Kyle Orton - After his game last night against the Pittsburgh Steelers, I don't think he'll be in the NFL very long.

Ryan Leaf - "...and from THE Washington State University and THE Texas State Penitentiary, RYYYYAAAAN LEAF!" and the crowd goes wild. 

The Wildcat- the first wildcat offense in Arena Football?! The Spokane Shock should be pioneers.

Me - No seriously, you should have seen me kick this guys butt after the photo was taken. Plus I can throw a football up past them thare mountains.

We'll keep you updated on the Shock's progress this season.

Shock members of new arena football league

Arena Football has been resurrected, say hello to Arena Football 1...

Tulsa, OK: Arena Football 1 was officially introduced this afternoon at a press conference held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma. With this announcement, it is assured, the game Jim Foster invented will be competitive and above all fan friendly. Long serving arena football executive Jerry Kurz was introduced as Commissioner of the newly created league that will unite former AFL, af2 and other indoor football teams under the Arena Football 1 banner.

As of right now three markets from the AFL will be business: Chicago, Phoenix and Orlando. One of the smaller markets will be none another than Spokane, meaning the dream of the Shock becoming an AFL team has kind of come true.

While I'm assuming there will be some sort of tier system, here's the other markets they'll have in the AF1.

The initial sixteen teams and their respective markets are: Arizona, Arkansas, Bossier-Shreveport, Central Valley (Fresno, California), Chicago, Iowa, Jacksonville, Kentucky, Milwaukee, Oklahoma City, Orlando, Spokane, Tennessee Valley (Alabama), Tri-Cities Washington, Tulsa, Utah (Salt Lake City). Additional teams will be announced by October 9th.

Wait a minute! Tri-Cities gets an AF1 team? Weren't they like the worst market/team in the af2? Oh boy... let's hope they're put in Tier 2 and ran out of the league in a year or so.
