It was only three years ago that Derrick Ross was playing for the San Angelo Stampede Express of the IFL. Now, he's the only fullback in the history of the Arena Football League to rush for at least 100 touchdowns in a career. Ross scored his 100th career rushing touchdown when he rumbled in from three yards out in the first quarter on Saturday night.

On the same night that the Arena Football League began to announce its list of the Top 25 wide receivers in the history of the league, one of the best to ever put on a uniform in the AFL reached a tremendous career milestone.

Nick Davila is to completions as touchdowns are to winning. Well Portland Thunder fans, as you probably know all too well, only half of the analogy applies.

It took the Chicago Rush more than 60 minutes to get a victory on Sunday afternoon at Allstate Arena. Offsetting penalties result in an untimed down, and the Rush score a tocuhdown and make the PAT to win 49-48.

In an attempt to become the third franchise in Arena Football League history to record back-to-back ArenaBowl titles, the San Jose SaberCats found themselves on the short end of a 59-56 final.

All season long, win or lose, Lawrence Samuels has preached that his Tampa Bay Storm needed to this, that, or the other as a team to succeed. All 21 men on the roster played a huge role on Saturday night in building a 55-34 lead against the Orlando Predators, and all 21 played a huge role in the ultimately losing the game 63-62 in overtime.
