The AFL on the NFL Network...?

Arena League Football, that is.

I was stunned to see a little blurb on the NFL's official site indicating that the NFL Network is set to begin broadcasting Arena League Football games in April 2010. So much for monopolistic practices.

The great news is that the Arena League is not going out of business. After a hiatus for financial turmoil and recession, the AFL is coming back. However, it does not appear that the L.A. Avengers will be back. They are not listed on roster of teams on the AFL website. Further, the Avengers website indicates they have folded.

Anyway, it will be good to see these guys back in action again. The pinball league was a lot of fun.
