Scouts Inc Philadelphia Soul season preview
21 things to know about the 21st season of AFL

QuoteFeeling At Home In Philly: Four years ago, the Soul was worth $450,000. Now the franchise may be worth close to $32 million, according to part-owner Jon Bon Jovi. Jaworski found out how the fans felt about the Soul during its second season. After a bad first half against Dallas, boos rained down on the home team as it left the field. "That told me these fans here cared," Jaworski said. "That told me we're being taken seriously, that we aren't a novelty act anymore. That said we arrived."

The Soul will appear on ESPN seven times this season, more than any other team.

What kind of league schedules a week 1 bye?

The NFL did it from 1999-2001 when they had an odd number of teams. It sucks though...

Mike(s) Golic and Greenberg will be calling a bunch of AFL games this year. That should be entertaining.

No games in Orlando this year. That sucks. I wore my Eagles jersey to the game last year and got shtein thrown at me by the hillbillies in attendance all game long.

arena football might actually be a worse sport than lacrosse...if thats even possible

Daniel Snyder holds the rights to any future expansion team in DC. Would that make things more interesting for you?

Rome · February 28, 2007, 12:26:31 PM

How many AFL games have you attended, IGY?

I've never had a bad time at an AFL game even though I never cheer for the home team. I'm there to get shteinfaced, look at broads in the stands, and watch pseudo-football. It's better than working.

the kind where Jon Bon Jovi is an owner and is able to actually trade an autographed guitar for a player.

Ditka was an NBC analyst and he's a co-owner of the Chicago team that won last year's title

conflict of interest concerns do not apply when the interest is non existent

MURP · February 28, 2007, 01:22:38 PM

I went to one AFL game and did have a good time. Much better than watching on TV. In fact, I even caught a $5 off ACME coupon from the indoor blimp thing that flies around and drops shtein. Boy was that a letdown.
