NFL Look Out, Here Comes the NFBL

I have decided that I need to start a league for my favorite sport: football bat. I can't decide if it should be the NFBA or the NFBL. OR, maybe I could follow in the footsteps of other startup leagues and call it the AFBA or AFBL.
For those of you who do not know what football bat is, here is how you play.

Equipment:
1 woofle ball bat...preferably the big fat yellow kind.

Rules:
1) The game starts out w/ the woofle ball bat in the center of the field.
2) When the ref blows the whistle, everyone runs toward the bat to pick it up.
3) Once someone has established control of the bat, all other players must tackle him/her and try to get the bat.
4) The bat carrier is allowed to either run or defend himself with the bat.
5) Once the bat carrier has a knee or backside hit the ground he/she must give up the bat.
6) The game ends when everyone is afraid to pick up the bat again OR when everybody else is afraid to tackle the bat carrier.

Determining the winner:
If there is a bat carrier left standing, that person is the winner.
If everyone is afraid to pick up the bat, the player who carried the bat the longest is the winner.

So there you have it, football bat.

I figure that Football Bat will be the next Slam Ball, Roller Derby or Dodge Ball. They seem to love televising these things on TNN (or some channel like that). I predict that Football Bat will grow to astronomic proportions and that not only will it make it off of TNN and onto a major network but that it will also become the new national pastime. In my opinion something needs to replace Hockey AND Baseball.

If there is anything that doesn't make sense in this post (like football bat), I am all doped up on Nyquil...its not my fault.
