Arena Football League games will air on NFL Network in 2010

Since Voodoo was one of AFL's highest attended Franchises, and the team was damn good and just a few players away from a Championship should Tom Benson or Rita be tapped to return this club back to us?
I personally loved going to the games, whenever i was in New Orleans i'd look for something to do and since i prefer Football over Basketball the easy choice was to go watch Voodoo over the Hornets (even though i cheer for the Hornets) im not a die hard fan of em..
New Orleans i believe was also benefiting highly from these games especially from the Championships that was being awarded to the Arena.

I know a lot of you don't like the sport because it's not as contact as NFL, but i like it mostly because it's fan-friendly, kids EAT IT UP!, The players-to-fans interaction is second to none in anything and it's just really a lil somethin extra to enjoy while your in town..

I think somebody close to the team should definitely get into talks with the Benson's or at least talk to a Millionaire that is willing to pick the team up.. They're plenty of wealthy people in New Orleans, hell Brad Pitt might be able to do it even? Or how about the CEO of FreePort Mcmoran?, what about the Coplands family? or just get everybody in the Vieux carre together and they can flip the bill for em.
