Marcum, ArenaBowl, expansion and lawsuits

A variety of items to pass along this morning.

Here's a link to my article on Tampa Bay coach Tim Marcum, who was in on the AFL's ground floor and has been winning ever since.

Not much in the way of ArenaBowl articles out of the Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg area, but there was this on a lawsuit involving Marcum and a former team owner against another former team owner.

Arenafan.com opined on the AFL old guard vs. AFL neophyte angle. Earlier in the week, arenafan.com had a comprehensive look at ArenaBowl facts and figures.

The AFL has plans to bring back an original AFL franchise, Pittsburgh, the Tribune-Review reported. Pittsburgh would be the fourth addtion to the 2011 season, along with San Jose, Kansas City and Philadelphia.
