The Chicago Rush were without first string QB Sherdrick Bonner, who chose to skip the game to do something crazy like support his wife while she delivered their first baby. It turned out the Rush had a good game plan.
They decided to get up by 22 points early, and just hold the lead. Their strategy worked to perfection, as QB backup and offensive player of the game Russ Michna pulled off 245 yards and five touchdown passes, leading the Rush to a 64-35 victory over the Grand Rapids Rampage.
No one was quoted as saying “I wish our starting quarterback would go off and have a baby every week” so there is little likelihood that fatherhood will cost Bonner his starting job. It’s probably nice to know as a starting quarterback, that you have a great backup should irritable bowel syndrome hit sometime during one of the games.
Monday Night Game that gets stuck at the end just because
The Dallas Desperadoes played the Colorado Crush on ESPN2 Monday evening, rounding out week three of AFL football. At the end of the first half, Colorado’s quarterback John Dutton was 11 for 11. Dallas quarterback Chris Sanders was smelling like an old shoe, yet inexplicably, the Desperadoes led 20-17 at halftime. Will Pettis of the Desperadoes scored four touchdowns in the second half, then added an interception to boot, leading Dallas to a 51-40 win over the Crush. Pettis ended the night with 12 catches for 144 yards, not to shabby on a 50 yard field. Dallas keeps pace with Cleveland and Philadelphia at 3-0, while the Crush drop to 1-1.
The lights turn down in Arenas everywhere. People wash the face paint off of themselves. Children sleep. Its only five days until Friday, when AFL play resumes.
