So $200 a week and he’d have to pay $100k to be able to play? Sounds like an awesome deal to take. :Idiots

3

I’d rather not have scum like that invited to play in our area THANKS! :tongue

4

Yup imagine the beating he is going to take from the crowds on away games regardless of where he may end up playing.

Wait a second.

The Firebirds left Albany like 5 years ago. When the hell did they come back? They went to Indiana and last I heard they were losing a LOT of money.

Also…$200 a week? I make that in one day. And I’m sure he’d be working much harder than me. Lifting, eating right, etc. etc. AFL players get paid crap if that’s ‘standard’. I feel bad for em now.

6

yea they left but they got rid of the name “conquest” and brought back the firebirds… they can do that because there are AFL 2, a lower type of ball i guess… the firebirds are still in Indiana

7

thats afl2… afl1 is like 1mil contracts tops… most are way lower tho… afl2 is like the lowet of low leagues

8

thanks brew for adding to what i said…kind of a farm league like in baseball

9

i remember when the real firebirds were playing at the pepsi and won the championship '99. i was sitting at a table at the firebird’s endzone up against the wall. those were the good old days :lol . i have eddie brown’s autograph still up on the cork wall next to my desk.

any of you remember “touchdown eddie brown?” :smiley:

10

yea i have a jersey signed by him from awhile ago

11

Yeah those were the days.

Thanks for clearing up the info. I didn’t know about that.

12

yea i havent been there for a football game since the firebirds left… and if they do get vick(highly doubtful) i deff will NOT be going

13

touchdown eddie brown nailed my english teacher in high school, just thought I would contribute

14

Touchdown Eddie Brown was a football coach at my high school for a year or two. We’re famous!

15

I happen to be a local sports buff but because the Indiana Firebirds folded in 04 they can call the team the firebirds again and there is no AFL this year and alot of AFL teams are folding LA just did last week and a few other teams so i think the AFL2 is gunna fold and the AFL will be back here in albany within the next few yrs and players will get double what the AFL2 is paying plus local players get fucked because if you live in a different state and play here in albany they pay for room and board while your here playing

16

Vick would never take that deal. He is too talented to play in that league. He will get a shot with a NFL team again. Maybe not as a QB but he could play somewhere else.

17

Maybe Michael Vick should look into the XFL…

Oh, wait.

18

Apparently this was all a hoax set up by the Firebird’s marketing team to gain interest in their franchise.

The humane society knew nothing about it, nor did the Firebird’s GM…or so he claims.

19

damn didnt realize they folded that long ago… prolly because they sucked after they left here… o well they’ll prolly suck the first year they’re back here anyways who knows if they get some good players they may be a force to be wreckin with

So sick of hearing about this already.
