Speculation exceeds facts for now, but indications are that the Arena Football League is approaching the biggest crossroads in its 21-year history.
Two players told The Dispatch last night they’d received text messages warning that the league could soon fold. They also had heard that it might take a one-year hiatus or compete in 2009 with fewer teams.
“We’re supposed to find out sometime (last night) whether we’re even going to have a league anymore,” said Michael Landry, a free agent who played for the Destroyers last season. “From what I know, the league’s in trouble.
Others said they’d heard nothing beyond pessimistic rumors.

I won’t pretend to be overly surprised.
Telling your friend what the address of the restaurant you are visiting is something to text message. Telling your buddy what bar you are at is something to text message. Maybe sending a little grocery list is text message realm.
