Darius E. Mal'nioto has been named the GM of the Albany Alphas. After team owner Donahue Frump acquired almost half the shares of DEM Network's stock, the two media moguls struck a bargain. Mal'nioto had no comment about his new position, but Frump seems hopeful. "We need a new direction. I think Mal'nioto's bold new vision can help with that."

For the '11-'12 season, Frump has indicated the Alphas will get a complete makeover; a new look for a new team. He plans to fund a renovation of Frump Stadium in full after initial talks with his new general manager.
