‘ll be the first to admit that coming into this season I was skeptical about the NFL Network televising the AFL games. I mean, doesn’t the NFL Network only care about the NFL. And their announcers weren’t supposed to be like those in the past.
But now, I’ll be the first to praise the NFL Network for their outstanding job through nine weeks of the season.
The entire crew, from Paul Burmeister to Solomon Wilcots have done an amazing job covering the game and inviting more fans to jump about the arena football bandwagon. They have picked up right where ESPN left off in 2008 and have just run with it.
Now, I know most of the die-heart arena football fans get tired and sick every weeks when they repeat the same phrase over and over, “When the ball goes into the stands, a fan gets to keep it.” But you do have to remember that at any given week, new folks to the Arena Football League might be watching the coverage and more than likely doesn’t know all of the rules.
Also, I have to give some love to the sideline crew. ESPN and NBC never hadufabet มือถือ them (I believe), so this introduces a totally new aspect of the game. They’re down on the field, putting their bodies on the line to get the inside scoop on the game. Actually, if look sometimes, the sideline guys are actually on the field during a play. That’s definitely too close for me.
I know ten weeks may not be enough time for some people to formulate an opinion about the NFL Network’s Arena Football Fridays, but as for me, they have exceeded my expectations already and in my opinion, surpassed ESPN as the all-time great TV partner of the Arena Football League.
