Detroit's entry in the Arena Football League, the Fury, ended operations today citing declining attendence and mounting losses. Unbelievable, but true.

Actually, this is completely believeable. Who wants to go see second rate sports an hour away when there's a major sport being played in Detroit almost every day of the year. That, and the Fury were terrible, with a combined record of 22-41 over 4 seasons.

Still, this makes me wistful for the three-time Arena champion Detroit Drive and the days of grass in the Joe.
