BAKERSFIELD, CA - This week's Russell Athletic ESPN Arena Football Monday matchup features two teams, New Orleans (4-6) and Philadelphia (4-6), which are led by former arenafootball2 (af2) head coaches, Mike Neu and Brett Munsey. Neu and the VooDoo travel to Philadelphia to take on Owner Jon Bon Jovi's Soul squad in a game that will be broadcast live on Monday, May 21, at 5:30 p.m. PST on ESPN2 and ESPN360.com. The game will also provide a national showcase for a number of notable former af2 players on both sides.

One of the stars playing in the game will be former Blitz DS Alex Wallace (San Jose St., '01).
