With Ron Jaworski as the President, what chance do you give this new team of succeeding here?

While driving up to NY yesterday, I was fortunate to hear him doing the AM Radio circuit (and using the same opening line of "going through football withdrawl" on each). Never knew the guy was such a football fan.

This looks good on paper, and more importantly it looks like they actually gave it some thought. Good name, good personnel, charismatic owner.

I know the AFL was hot on getting NFL owners involved to demonstrate the stability of the league, but having some famous (and committed) stars would give it even more flair. Jon could be just the start... outside of some of the comedic ideas (Gene Simmons??? Bruce Willis???) there are sure to be some entertainment types out there who might like a taste of it.

But in the end, one must remember it's only arena football. Nothing will supersede the NFL in this town.

But superceding the NFL isn't the point. The arean league seems to be a more local minor league for the NFL.

Would you be interested in trying out for something like this?
