Hello Firebirds, AFL, and af2 fans, my name is Ben Schwartz. You may recognize me from my other Arena Football blog, F4blog.com.

I have been a New York Dragons fan since 2002, and through my relationships with the players and team combined with my passion for both the AFL and journalism, I created a successful video blog. This has been running since 2007 and combined with my official association with the Dragons, my "Review and Preview Show" as well as my exclusive player interviews became a hit within the Dragons fan base (and extended to other fans outside of the Dragons as well).

Once the news began to unfold that the AFL would suspend its 2009 season and that things were not going as planned, I (like many of my fellow AFL fans), felt stranded. What was next? Is the af2 a viable option for me? Through much deliberation, I decided to commit to following the Firebirds and to cover their team much like I covered the Dragons with a new blog. This was a tough decision because Albany is over two hours away from where I live. I decided that with af2TV and with help from my parents, getting to at least five games in person is good enough for me. Since the suspension, F4Blog has transformed into a haven for lost AFL fans - a place to follow their favorite players from any team in their performances with other leagues come the 2009 seasons.

It took years to build my associations with the Dragons and build my relationships with their players. This, therefore, was a concern of mine when entering the Firebirds process. Getting the same exclusivity and solid content that I did with the Dragons will certainly be challenging in the beginning, but because I have done this before - I am ready to do it again. Thankfully, a notable Firebirds player has contacted me explaining that he watches my F4Blog programs and as a blogger himself, he is more than willing to help me get an inside look at the Firebirds team throught the year. This first step in should be a big leap into the exclusivity that viewers love.

Well as you can tell, I am preparing for the challenge ahead. Know this; you will be getting the quality programming that makes this type of site successful. You will be seeing weekly written updates, the Albany Firebirds Review and Preview (video) Show, and a close following of the happenings around the Firebirds. What is most important, however, is your consistent viewership and the power from the fans that keep this site going.
