AB's Empire

It hasn't been the smoothest start to a season for the Albany Empire arena football team, who have dominated their league for two years running. Since former NFL star wide receiver Antonio Brown came to town and assumed leadership of the squad, the coach was fired (and rehired), players were suspended after an incident on the team bus, there have been payroll issues, confusing claims of total ownership, and three straight losses. On this episode of "The Eagle," we will unpack some of the drama surrounding the Empire, and explore the question of who actually owns the team. Also on this episode, we'll have the latest developments in the trial of Nauman Hussain, the limo company operator accused of causing 20 deaths after a limo with faulty brakes crashed in Schoharie in 2018.
