ORLANDO - TT Toliver was a fan favorite with the Orlando Predators for years and years. He had over 10,000 career all-purpose yards with the Preds. It's only fitting that on a night which was 70th edition of the War on I-4 that he became the first receiver in AFL history to have 5,000 career receiving yards with two different teams.

The Force scored first and never trailed as Bryant Moniz made his first start in front of the home fans and led Georgia to a 56-53 win over the visiting Predators.

Despite playing one of their strongest first halves of the season, the Philadelphia Soul allowed 28 fourth quarter points to the Jacksonville Sharks costing them the crucial game in regards to home field advantage for the ArenaBowl.

The game between Orlando and Los Angeles reminded me of a playful story I once heard as a kid. Here is a man who carried six gallons of milk across town. While he was carrying the milk, he was planning on selling it, hoping to make a lot of money in order to help for his family, or buy the things he needed.

Prior to Week 18's games, ArenaFan's Adam Markowitz had the opportunity to sit down and speak with Arena Football League Commissioner Scott Butera.

The Soul used a strong fourth quarter to put together their 56-42 victory. Continuing coverage of ArenaBowl XXIX is right here at ArenaFan.com.

With just a week to go in the regular season, all eight playoff teams have been decided and Spokane locked up home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Rod Windsor added another league single-season record to his record-breaking rookie campaign. Also, Dallas named its new head coach at halftime.

Jason Jones has never played a glorified position at the professional level. He's always been a tight end or an offensive guard. He's never spent more than a year with a professional sports team and has his best shot to do so these next two years in Cleveland. He's never played in the CFL or the NFL, but every day he shows up to work with a smile.
