Matt Hooper Who indeed? You might have missed the news last week that Birmingham’s longest-running football franchise had finally closed its doors. Hell, you might have missed the news that we had a football franchise. Nine years is a long time, but if you’re not into arena football, maybe you never even heard of the Steeldogs. Weekly staffer Matt Hooper had not only heard of Steeldogs, he all but charted his life by them, which made the news of the team’s quietus pretty tough for him to take. His remembrance of pigskins and pork skins appeared as a commentary in last week’s edition.
