With Jeff Fisher, we talk about the offseason growth and the grind to get to finalized teams & schedule, his first introduction to Arena football & how he got hooked, how officiating can help trigger the next level of growth & partnerships, and the goals for the 2025 season and beyond.

We are then joined by Adam Pelletier, who serves as the megaphone and the man behind the keyboard for your favoite AF1 social channels! 

We dive a little deeper into the schedule, highlight some regional rivalries, talk about teams positioned for major growth and much more. This was such a fun experience and it's only triggered even more ideas of how we can continue to grow this thing out. Let me know what you think in the comments!

On this week’s show we have an all time great of Arena Football.

He’s one of the few people (maybe the only? We'll fact check that) in arena football history to win an ArenaBowl as a player, coordinator AND head coach. He is the head coach of the Billings Outlaws — Cedric Walker!  We talk about his arena football journey on the field and in coaching, what he learned from his different coaches along the way, those late ’90s Arizona Rattlers teams, coaching with Sed Bonner in Billings, his relationship with Outlaws owner Steven Titus, BigManTDs and the future of the Billings Outlaws and AF1!

Extremely thankful for and humbled by the time Coach Walker spent on the show. Go give the Billings Outlaws a follow on socials!
