Arena Football fan gets wrecked by player (VIDEO)

Everyone knows rugged Arena Football fans are way closer to the action than snobby NFL fans. But there's a lesson to be learned here after this guy gets slammed by a player while leaning out over the railing during the Arizona Rattlers-Spokane Shock game Saturday night.

The dude even loses his lumberjack cap.

Betcha didn't know Spokane even had a team.

LA Kiss offer Tim Tebow contract to play Arena Football

It sounds like Tim Tebow can say au revoir to Canada  — if he wants to. The Wildcat quarterback officially has an offer to play football and it isn't north of the border.

That is if Gene Simmons of the legendary band KISS can lure the Broncos, Jets and Patriots castoff to Los Angeles.

Simmons, the co-owner of the arena football team called the LA KISS, has offered Tebow a three-year contract to play for the team. Simmons says the contract would give Tebow the opportunity to "earn millions." The KISS begin their first season of play in March 2014.

"Acquiring Tebow would not only be a great investment for the team, but his exciting style of play would definitely send shockwaves through the league," Simmons said in a statement. "We're excited for the opportunity to see him with an LA KISS uniform on, and for the LA KISS fans to be rockin' their Tebow shirts and jerseys."

Simmons —no slouch at promotion — is probably the first person to call Tebow's style of play "exciting," but the KISS feel that Tebow could be a Kurt Warner-type success story.

"Similar to how Kurt Warner blossomed in the NFL after becoming one of the greatest quarterbacks in AFL history, we feel our league is the best place for Tim to refine his skills and gain valuable repetitions. We have tremendous faith in Tim's ability to succeed in the AFL," KISS co-owner Brett Bouchy said.

KISS' offer isn't the first time Tebow's been offered an indoor football contract. The Omaha Beef offered Tebow a contract in April, that same month, Tebow also got an offer from the Lingerie Football League to be the LFL's "National Quarterback Coach."

Tebow might want to learn the words to "God Gave Rock n Roll to You" as soon as possible.

Rock band KISS bringing pro football back to Los Angeles

Shout it out loud — pro football is headed back to Los Angeles, and you can thank the renowned rock band KISS for it.

The LA KISS will begin play in the Arena Football League next season at the Honda Center, it was announced Thursday.

KISS founding members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley hope to establish a similarly broad fanbase with their newest project, a partnership with the AFL as owners of the Anaheim-based expansion team.

“The whole idea of an alternative to what has perhaps become a corporate sport is very intriguing, and resonates with us,” Stanley told USA TODAY Sports by phone on Wednesday. “We’ve always tried to be a band that relates to everybody, and the AFL is built on that whole premise.”

Though the band’s logo will be incorporated into the team’s uniforms, Stanley and Simmons trademark spiked shoulder pads and face-paint won't be. But they are hoping to bring their understanding of live performance to the team’s home games in order to create what they believe is a true football experience.

“There’s been a lot of attention to detail, to nuances, so that people don’t think this is a rock band in football helmets,” Simmons said. “This is real football, and this is good for the game.”

"Season tickets are now on sale for what we know will be some of the most action-packed games ever played at the Honda Center," said Stanley. "Arena Football is played at a fast and furious pace and making season tickets available now for the budget-friendly price of $99 gives a whole new meaning to bang for the buck."

All LA KISS season-ticket buyers will be invited to a free KISS concert to take place at Honda Center next year.

“As a fast-paced, high-action band this partnership with the AFL was an obvious fit for us,” said Simmons. “With Arena Football, you are much closer to the action — sitting in the front row is like putting a folding chair on the hash mark of an NFL game — and it’s one of the only sports where you can experience this level of intensity. Attending an LA KISS game in 2014 will be similar to a live KISS show, with thrilling, heart-pounding action.”

The AFL will mark its 27th season in 2014. There hasn't been a team in Southern California since the Los Angeles Avengers folded in 2009.

“We wouldn’t put LA KISS on a football helmet," said Stanley, "if we didn’t believe we could kick it out of the park.”
