This year saw the return of Arena Football to the Capital Region with the debut of the Albany Empire. During the franchise's inaugural season, the Empire won the regular season title. Despite the team's success, it was the Capital Region's team of the past, the Albany Firebirds, that caught the attention of ESPN Broadcasters this week. Below is the exchange from social media.
Yes that is Monday Night football broadcaster, CBA graduate, and "The Voice of Schenectady" Joe Tessitore reminiscing about the Albany Firebirds. The Capital Region love didn't stop there. Current ESPN Radio broadcaster and Guilderland's own Marc Kestecher joined in on the conversation too.
