Still Undefeated No. 2

Keeping pace with the afore mentioned Cleveland Gladiators were the Philadelphia Soul.  They beat the proverbial pants off the New York Dragons, proving that if Soul, Dragon, pocket knife were to replace paper, scissors, rock in the game paper-scissors-rock.  Soul would be paper, and Dragon would be rock, Or Soul would be scissors and Dragon would be …. Oh never mind, you get my drift. 

Philadelphia moves to 3-0 with a 63-42 over 1-2 New York.  Philadelphia prays to the crack in the liberty bell that QB Chris Graziani, who was knocked out in the third with a sprained knee, will heal quickly.  He’ll have to, since Phili plays again this coming Friday.

 

 

Good ole Butt-Whoopin’ No. 1

The Georgia Force outscored the Los Angeles Avengers every quarter.  You do that; chances are you will emerge a winner.  Georgia beats LA 58-34, giving them their first win of the season at 1-2 while LA takes their first defeat of the season, dropping to 2-1.  Georgia’s defense mustered two stops and two turnovers in an impressive victory.  The receiving corps of Pauley and Bergeron had a combined seventeen catches and five touchdowns between them, pacing Georgia to victory. 

 

Good ole Butt-Whoopin’ No. 2

The San Jose SaberCats evened up their record at 1-1, knocking Arizona from the ranks of the unbeaten, also at 1-1, with a resounding 63-43 victory.  The SaberCats are the defending Arena Bowl Champs and demonstrated they are capable of repeating.

The Rattlers started backup quarterback Jeff Smoker, who lived up to his name by getting smoked for three interceptions.  San Jose has 15 straight home game wins dating back to sometime so far away no one remembers the date, and are approaching the all time home win record of the Orlando Predators of 19 in a row set back in 1992-1995.  Arizona heads back to the desert scratching their heads, and their wallets, since upper management offered all season ticket holders a full refund if the Rattlers do not make the playoffs. 

 

 

Go up by 22 and You’ll Probably Win
