Finally. After 20 years, the Pittsburgh Gladiators are back! I just hope Swann does a better job with his team than he did with his race for Governor.

Arena Football is incredible football. It’s not right to insult that version. The difference in the game from the outdoor version doesn’t diminsh the game of football. I like Arena football more than the outdoor game. I am far past a Gen-Xer or whatever, and I hardly ever missed an AFL game. I hope the league returns and I wish my NFL brothers (and sisters) would give the Arena game the respect that it and the players deserve. The NFL should actually buy into and run the AFL game. The connection would be perfect. It’s already there anyway.

Hey, not too bad for Swannie. If you can’t be governor or senator or king, or hero for life, then you can be a fraction of ownership in something local. I’m not being facetious. Glad he found where his ideals can really make a difference. Oops, i forgot. He’s trying to make money.

Sweet. I just went to an AF2 game this weekend. It’s actually a lot of fun and you don’t have to mortgage you’re house to go.

Geez. It’s time to put an end to the ADD football league. Maybe they should put their money, time, and influence into a league where real football is played like a farm league for the NFL.
Arena league football is for the X-Gamers crowd and they aren’t into any sport that doesn’t involve wheels or blades.

No way arena football will do well in Pittsburgh. The love and obsession of the Steelers won’t allow it. It’s like watching Michael Jordan’s son playing basketball. Why care when you can watch highlights of MJ on youtube. Steeler/pittsburgh football fans just won’t care. Ask the Pirates.
