You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting. Kind of a low-rent DG_Now.

So not only does San Jose have a conflict with the original date for the ArenaBowl, if Philly hosts Arizona, they would like to move the date too.

If the Soul win: They will play either at San Jose next Monday (Aug. 31) or host Arizona in a game tentatively scheduled for 8 p.m. next Saturday (Aug. 29). If Arizona is the opponent, the Soul may seek to move the game so as not to conflict with an Eagles at Packers preseason game. It is the important third test for each team and also is starting at 8 p.m.

Is it just me or did the real AFL back before the AFL2 takeover, not have these scheduling issues nearly as badly...

Wow... this is just adding on to the dog pile here.

You have a conference championship game not played at the higher seed's home arena (The last time the Arena League had this happen was in 1989 when Pittsburgh defeated Denver in Sacramento, CA), you have a possible date change for the Arena Bowl, they've just pulled the plug on two franchises (one of them actually made the postseason, but got their slot taken by them because they were a league owned team). You have teams wanting to get the hell out of Dodge...

You might as well start on talk about just pulling the plug here.

Dick Vermiel has bought part of the Philadelphia Soul. So they have that going for them. But yes they need to do a lot more things to act like a legitimate league again.

It was only 2.5%.

Jahri Evans, a former NFL player also bought a share of the Soul from the majority owner.

Marques Colston bought a share last year.

It seems that the minority owner(s) are dumping shares piece by piece as he knows this is a losing proposition only to leave Ron Jaworski and his closer friends holding the bag. Craig Spencer is the wealthiest guy of the owners and he wants OUT!

Something tells me that if the league survives it may turn into MLB prior to interleague play and with different names. The western teams in one league with a few additions based mostly in California and the eastern teams wrapped around the Northeast and Florida.

Use the old Vegas one, and just paint over the "LAS VEGAS" in the sign with "STOCKTON". Same amount of letters and everything!
