Welcome back, old friend. We missed you. I may have retired putting a reference to you in every comic, but maybe it’s okay if you stop by now and then. It’s not like you don’t have anything better to do. May you continue your sexy ways forever.
That was going to be the end of Alex Smith goes to Mars jokes, but the Chiefs just cut Jeremy Maclin for cap reasons, so the next comic is gonna have to be Chiefs related anyway…LETS KEEP THE MARS TRAIN ROLLIN BABY
Gotta say, it felt good using the SEXY REXY tag again. Real good.
Missed you Sexy Rexy
Arena recap:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpo5cxjRXK4
Wk 9 games (both at 7pm tonight)
(2-5) Baltimore Brigade at (5-1) Tampa Bay Storm (AFL Live; Twitter. Yes, Twitter is livestreaming the storm game.
(1-6) Cleveland Gladiators at (1-5) Washington Valor (CBS Sports Network).
As you look back to Sexy Rexy; I’ll look back on the most likely ending career of 40 year old Antonie (T.T.) Tolliver
T.T. was put on IR after not playing last week. He was the last of the Ironman players, having started his Arena career (after 2 seasons on the St. Louis Rams pratice squad) as a Defensive Specialist (DS) in 2002 with the storm (and spent a year on the super bowl winning Bucs pratice squad, even though he didn’t receive a ring) before going to WR/DB in 2004. In 2006, he was traded to the Nashville Kats, where he stayed for for all of 1 season before heading back to Tampa. In 2007, The Arena League removed the ironman rule, meaning players only played offense or defense instead of both. Now as a full time WR, T.T (after demanding an midseason release from Tampa due to a series of disagreements with coach Tin Marcum) fled east down Interstate-4 to Orlando to become a Predator, where he was coached by Jay Gruden. T.T. would stay in Orlando even beyond the Arena Football League’s 1st death in 2009 (the remaining teams from the big league merged with the top teams from their AF2 minor league) up until 2014, when T.T Tolliver once again crossed I-4, this time heading to Tampa, where he, as those or you who read my recaps from last year, would end up breaking almost every single ‘total career’ Arena League receiving record, including receptions (1,219), yards (15,950), and with all-purpose yards at 21,616.
He truly is, at least in my eyes, an Arena legend up with the likes of Jim Foster (arena league inventor and first commissioner; namesake of Arenabowl trophy), Barry Wagner (90’s Orlando DB/WR), Touchdown Eddie Brown (Albany Firebirds), Law-dog (Lawrence Samuels), Tim Marcum, Jay Gruden, Sedrick Bonner (90’s Zona qb) who color-commentates the CBS Sports Network games), Darren Arbet (San Jose coach), Randy Gatewood (90’s Rattlers WR/DB), Hunkie Cooper (90’s Rattlers FB/LB) Mark Grieb (San Jose qb), Clint Dolezel (Thunderbears, Rampage, and Desperados qb), Aaron Garcia (New York Dragons/J’ville Sharks/Arena League Brett Favre/Orginally Kurt Warner’s backup in Iowa), and, of course, Kurt Warner
i have to ask…what’s the point to all this since you know…the internet is a thing?
Because i wanted to sho it to those who didn’t give a shit about arena ball
Does Arena do the Twitter thing regularly? I know the NFL did a few last season, but not this.
This last game was the first time
For me, it’s a nice, easy way to get a good recap of the week in the AFL, along with some cool trivia and info about it that makes getting into the sport easier. Plus I like supporting independent content.
After weighing my options, I think I’m going to go with the Baltimore Brigade. I’m aware that this is probably asking for pain, but if I survived a childhood of nothing but 90-loss seasons from the Orioles, I can survive a few years of bad arena football. In the likely event they fold I’ll jump ship to the Valor, but for now the Brigade just feels right.
Edit my comment to be about farts

Did you know Sexy Rexy is a third? That’s right, Washington had to quarterbacks named RG3 at the same time.
Someone hasn’t read my archive! One of my earliest comics was about that

He’s bringing sexy back.
Sexy Rexy would’ve gone to Uranus obviously
And penetrate it with his strong pass.
210 lbs of twisted steel and sex appeal. You gotta unleash the dragon.
Missed opportunity for a joke – clearly Sexy Rexy would have steered for Uranus.
The prodigal Rexy returns!
