[quote=""Caballo Diablo""]I disagree, in my opinion rebranding themselves as the AFL helps them to instantly lose credibility. It's meaningless to ticket sales among avid fans of the sport. For the most part they know what's gone on over the past few years and would still watch n...

Friday night broadcasts are perfect, no lame Sunday afternoon or Monday night games. I am also excited about the rebranding of AF1 as AFL. It's about time.
