Kansas City Brigade Drops Opener

Well, the first appearance for the silver and blue Kansas City Brigade jerseys ended in defeat. The Brigade lost its opening game 58-44 to Dallas.

Annoying: The Loss
Annoying: Only saw the game on tape-delay on tv. It was supposed to be on according to my guide at 2 p.m., but when I got there it was the 700 Club.

Cool: The Brigade jerseys look better than I had thought.
Cool: Arena Football is a trip. That is some exciting stuff.
Cool: We are going to get to learn some of the Arena Football rules in Kansas City--there are some interesting wrinkles.

Game recap by the Associate Press (found at Forbes):

"Clint Dolezel was 25-of-35 for 270 yards and six touchdowns and also ran for a score to lead the Dallas Desperados to a 58-44 victory over the expansion Kansas City Brigade on Sunday in the opener for both teams."
