February 27, 2004 - Arena Football League (1987-2008) (AFL I) News Release


NEW YORK – NBC Sports kicks off this Sunday's five-game regional AFL coverage at 3 p.m. ET (Feb. 29) with the TelePrompTer-free studio show featuring guest analyst JOHN ELWAY, Colorado CEO and co-owner. Additionally, Philadelphia co-owner JON BON JOVI will wear an NBC microphone and interact with the broadcast booth during the game, as well as with Elway in the studio during halftime, as his team visits Tampa Bay.

"I'm excited about the opportunity to talk Arena Football on NBC this Sunday," said Elway. "There are some great match-ups on the schedule this weekend and it should be a lot of fun. It's a great game and I'm glad to do anything I can to promote it."

Elway will join studio host AL TRAUTWIG and analyst GLENN PARKER for a preview of Sunday's match-ups, halftime game updates and post game wrap-up interviews.
