The disappointment I feel every time I leave an AFL game these days is becoming too much. It has gotten to the point where I start wondering why I wasted my time to go in the first place. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the level of players these teams are putting on the field, not at all.

STOCKTON - Twenty wins. No team in professional football history has ever won that many games. And after a 20-1 season only marred by a loss to a previously winless team as a 32-point underdog, the book on the 2015 San Jose SaberCats would be closed with perfection.

The league closed up shop on the New Orleans VooDoo and Las Vegas Outlaws, sending tremors through the league and changed the fortunes for one team that had been eliminated from the 2015 playoffs.

This has been one incredible season. The records stacked up are mind-boggling. Dallas Desperados quarterback Clint Dolezel smashing through 900 passing touchdowns, Tampa Bay Storm WR/LB Lawrence Samuels being the first player in AFL history to have 1,000 career receptions...

If you're walking around in Downtown Orlando this week, don't mind the black cloud that you see at 302 Graham Avenue. That's just the stench of one of the worst games in team history for the Orlando Predators. An 82-42 loss to the Arizona Rattlers marked the second worst defeat in team history, and the 82 points allowed was the second most that the team has ever conceded in a game.
