I guess the Soul aren't good enough. I want to see him do this with the Eagles so Jeffrey Lurie can refer to someone who actually cares if his franchise wins or not. And I think they've had enough of Andy Reid while they're at it, they're not getting anywhere further than they've already been. In a perfect world I'd fire him and offer him the OC job, because I'll admit he's great with building skills and work ethic but I don't think I've ever seen a worse in-game decision maker. But I digress...good for Jon.

I guess the Soul aren't good enough. The AFL is out of business

All Day is right. The AFL went out of business in '08 and a few of the teams got together to start a new arena league last year. The new league gave the old owners of the Soul an option to buy back into the new league but Bon Jovi declined it.

But the point is they're not out of business, their intention all along was to come back the season after they took off. One thing I noticed however is the embedded link to the NFL Network website on the homepage. It seems like today's AFL is transitioning to be a D-League, either that or NFL Network has prepared itself for a lockout.

The way I remember it is that they filed bankruptcy and were defunct before they decided to come back. The chain of events I recall is that they had the owners vote on whether or not to continue, and all but two voted not to. They then filed bankruptcy and about a year later sold all of the logos and intellectual property of the original AFL to a new group called afl1 or something like that who then turned into the AFL that is around today. That's besides the point though. It's all semantics. As for the NFL Network logo, that's the network that airs the current AFL's games. I guess they couldn't get a broadcast network to air the games and the NFLN doesn't have much content to air anyway.
