Talons v. Vigilantes NFL Network game bumped
Today it was announced that the NFL Network would be exercising their Flex Scheduling to switch games on June 11, 2010. The original game was suppose to be the Tulsa Talons at the Dallas Vigilantes; a great matchup from week 2. In it's place the Tampa Bay Storm at Alabama Vipers game will be moved from Saturday to Friday night. This will be Alabama's only scheduled appearance on the NFL Network this season.
While congratulations are in order for the Vipers getting an NFL Network game, the decision sheds doubt on future games, including the only other Talons NFL Network appearance, week 18 at the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz. With OKC struggling, the NFL Network may look for a more competitive game to fill that date.
However, it does open up the possibility of the NFL Network Flexing to the Tulsa Talons v. Spokane Shock game in early July. There is a large amount of rivalry between the Shock and Talons. In addition, it would be a matchup of (most likely) two division leaders.
What do you think of the NFL Flexing the Dallas game and future possibilities? Let us know by leaving a comment!

Rush at Barnsormers - NFL Network Game of the Week Recap
Ok, let me be the first to say it: "Chicago, I'm sorry." I underestimated some of your talent. Michna can still play and DeJuan Alfonso looks like a defensive all star.
The Barnstormers opened the game looking outstanding on defense. On the Rush's first possession Russ Michna could not get anything started and went to the ground more than once. However, once the Rush handed the ball over the Barnstormers it was a different game. Brian Villenueva opened his season by throwing a pick six to DeJuan Alfonso. From there he didn't get much better. He looked shaky the entire first quarter. After 3 turnovers in the first quarter, Chicago was up 17-0 and never really lost that lead for the rest of the game.
In the second quarter the Barnstormers pulled Villenueva for Ryan Vena. Vena looked a lot better than Villenueva, but could never bring the Barnstormers back from the whole they had dug for themselves. Chicago ended up winning 61-43, proving them better than the ninth place ranking I gave them.
However, the Rush didn't look perfect. There were plenty of miscues and failed snaps. They definitely didn't look like the best team in the nation. But they looked like could be a great playoff team.
In other AFL news, the Milwaukee Iron defeated the Spokane Shock 74-62. This brings my picks for the week to 1-1 leading into tonights games. Playing tonight are Alabama at Bossier-Shreveport, Arizona at Cleveland, Tampa Bay at Tulsa, and Jacksonville at Oklahoma City. I will be offering live coverage via twitter that will simultaneously post on the blog as well. However, if you are in the Tulsa area I encourage you to come out. There is nothing like an arena football game in person!
