The AFL, not playing this year, officially comatose, probably dead.

National Lacrosse League watches Chicago fold last month just before play starts, and there are rumors that the Portland Lumberjax aren't long for the world (they'll probably last the year).

The ECHL sported two midseason foldings already in Augusta and Fresno.

The bigs may be spared, but there are rumors about the viability of the Phoenix Coyotes, an especially prickly situation for actually controlling their arena.

The NFL laid off over 100 staffers, the NBA and MLB have concerns.

It's bad all over, folks.
