Philadelphia Soul vs Georgia Force by Jimmy Cribb/ WireImage.com
The NBA and NHL playoffs are moving ahead briskly. Baseball and NASCAR seasons are starting to heat up. There's also tennis, golf, the Triple Crown, soccer, etc., competing for your attention. So you might be forgiven for not knowing that the Arena Football League is in season.
Currently in Week 11 of its 22nd year, the AFL is hoping to break out of the clutter with a special "Live Wired" presentation tonight on ESPN2. The Philadelphia Soul are hosting the Georgia Force in a game that will have very little play-by-play/analysis (May 12, 8 pm/ET). Instead, Ray Bentley will "narrate the game" and conduct some interviews, but leave most of the audio to players, coaches and referees who will be wearing microphones.
The high-scoring, American Gladiators-esque league has weekly Monday night games on ESPN2. Corporate sibling ABC will air Arena Bowl XXII on Sunday, July 27.
