Yeah, we got the Brigade in Kansas City a few years earlier than we were planning on landing an Arena Football expansion club. What a deal. Not only did we get to cut the wait time way, way down, we also inherited a legitimate ballclub from New Orleans.
The folks at Oursportscentral will back me up on that. They note:
"None of those ?big losing teams' is around now. But Utah and the Kansas City Brigade are not typical of expansion teams. The Blaze was healthy from the start with the likes of Joe Germaine, Orshawante Bryant, Siaha Burley and some experienced linemen, as is KC with Andy Kelly, B.J. Cohen, Steve Smith and Aaron Hamilton.
So we're cutting the expansion crup. Heck, these are some talented teams and they'll embarrass some of the "better" teams in the league, as did head coach/general manager Danny White's orange & black Blaze against the 'Cats."
Hey, don't let the opening road loss get you down. The Kansas City Brigade is a legitimate AFL football team!
Not much else about the Brigade here, but more about the AFL if you are interested.
