Does anybody remember BR having a semi-pro football team called the Firebirds?

They played one season at Pete Goldsby before the league folded.

Richard Condon was the stadium announcer.

Does anybody recall this or am I hallucinating this a.m.?

I would’ve paid good money to hear this. His tantrums that he does today would be epic on the stadium mic.

I don’t know why the league folded, but I suspect I know why the team did.

Herb Tyler at QB, and for some reason I remember them being coached by Alan Risher? Or did I dream that?

Blaze and Kingfish games were really good entertainment. Now all we have is sitting around the police scanner.
