The retired National Football League quarterback Kurtis Eugene “Kurt” Warner who played for the St. Louis Rams, New York Giant joins NFL Network and will call the Arena Bowl on Friday, August 20 at 8:00 PM ET.
Warner along with Fran Charles will also present the Arena Football National Conference Championship Game featuring the Milwaukee Iron at Spokane Shock tonight at 8:00 PM ET.
Warner was named to the AFL’s First-team All-Arena in both 1996 and 1997 after he led the Barnstormers to Arena Bowl appearances in both seasons. Warner’s performance during his stay in the AFL was so impressive that, years later, he would be named twelfth on a list of the twenty best Arena Football players of all time.
Warner joins former University of Iowa quarterback Paul Burmeister, who will be handling the play-by-play and sideline reporters Anthony Herron and Ari Wolfe. The Arena Bowl concludes NFL Network’s 21-game Arena Football Friday schedule.
Warner said “I was lucky enough to play in three Super Bowls and two Arena Bowls. There is nothing better than playing for the championship at any level of football. I will share my experiences and what the players are feeling as they play for the ultimate prize in Arena Football.”
Warner was an analyst on NFL Network’s Arena Football Friday for the Iowa Barnstormers game against the Arizona Rattlers earlier this season. Prior to that game, he was inducted in the Iowa Barnstormers Hall of Fame.
Jerry Kurz, AFL Commissioner said “We couldn’t be more pleased to have one of the legends of Arena Football, Kurt Warner, call the Arena Bowl and National Conference Championship game on NFL Network. We have an enjoyed a successful return of Arena Football and can’t wait to crown a new champion.”
