Nick Davila has already established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in Arena Football League history by leading the Arizona Rattlers to back-to-back championships and three straight ArenaBowl appearances. Now, he's one of the nine quarterbacks in AFL history to join the 500-touchdown club.

There hasn't been a heck of a lot for the Orlando Predators to be happy about this year, but they were able to put smiles on the faces of the 12,441 in attendance at the Amway Center on Friday night with their 64-40 win over their arch rivals from Tampa Bay.

As I was taping the podcast as a guest on the AFL Roundtable last night, I was discussing the idea of putting Arena Football teams in cities where the AFL has already failed, and in some cases failed miserably.

Welcome to the Orlando Predators, Aaron Garcia! The Predators were down three touchdowns on three different occasions in the game, but they rallied for an 83-82 victory over the Spokane Shock .

QB Aaron Garcia has his storybook ending after all. The quarterback for the Jacksonville Sharks called his own number on the final play of ArenaBowl XXIV and came up with the biggest play in his storied career.
