Sorry for the lack of posting on the blog of late...it's the slowest time in sports until Spring Training and the NCAA Basketball Tournament begin next month.
I just wanted to chime in regarding AZ-TV's partnership with the Rattlers. As someone who worked to facilitate the deal, I commend our General Manager Jeff Burnton as well as Rattlers owner Brett Bouchy and Team President Danny White for making concessions all around to get this done. We were the station who could give the team the most exposure...but financial considerations on both sides were the sticking point.
Arena Football is a great product and for those of you who have never been, you're missing out. Most people think Arena Football = Kurt Warner, but you would be surprised as to the talent level in the league. Considering the fact that Bouchy and White promised a winning team this season in Arizona, I'm excited to go out and watch.
Saturday, April 17th - mark your calendars - that's the first game to be televised on AZ-TV...against the Chicago Rush (who ironically are co-owned by Mike Ditka).
And on a personal note, I have to say...for all that I've heard about Danny White being the ultimate UofA hater...I can't argue with that...he's cracked some anti-UofA jokes in meetings we've had...but he sure seems to be a good guy. I look forward to working with him and the Rattlers going forward.
Back again soon...
Eric
