I had two main complaints regarding the involvement of ESPN in the previous version of the Arena Football League. First, it was the game delays so that ESPN could to commercial breaks. That was a biggie for a lot of people. But it also took the games off of local television and off the NFL Network. ESPN didn't show much of the games, there wasn't a great demand for Arena Football Broadcasts and ESPN gave the league television slots to other games that would draw a larger audience.
So, we will see how much time the NFL Network is willing to give the AFL. Its not like the NFL is going to have games available. The AFL will give them something live to present to their Football audiences.

The KC Command - The Team and Schedule Set
I have been keeping a keen eye on the progress of the Kansas City Brigade ... ah ... er ... Command. They have created a new web site (http://www.kccommand.com) and they have posted their 2011 Schedule and Team Roster. They have selected a new Head Coach ... Kevin Porter is now General Manager and hopefully he will do better there than he did as Head Coach. So, things are progressing.
Now, I have looked at the cost of Season Tickets for 2011. The flier promoting season tickets has stated that the package involves ten games. However, the tenth game only comes into play if the team does well enough to have a playoff game at home. You are only getting nine regular season tickets, according to the season ticket flier. And are they making much of an effort to attract back the old Season Ticket holders? I haven't heard anything from them as of yet and I was a season ticket holder for two of the three years they were active before. It will be interesting to see how much support they get in the early stages, and what kind of deals come into play as Season Tickets don't progress as strongly as they would desire.
As for the team itself. Well, don't expect to see any of the old players back. Looking through the team roster, I didn't see anyone that I recognized from the previous team rosters.
