The Orlando Predators promised their fans that they are going to win games this year, and it appears as though they are ready to go to the ends of the earth to make that happen. Earlier this week, the team relieved Offensive Coordinator Chris Siegfried of his duties.

The Philadelphia Soul (7-1) capped off their regular season games at the Wells Fargo Center with a huge win against the Orlando Predators (7-1.) The win places the Soul ahead of the Predators in the the American Conference due to the head to head record between the two teams.

Some say that it's better to be lucky than good. On Saturday night in the 53th installment of the War on I-4, the Orlando Predators would tell you that luck is a byproduct of their hard work that they have put in all season long. Thanks to what Rob Keefe called the grace of God, the Preds used a late fumble recovery to take down the Tampa Bay Storm 56-52.

The historically dominant Orlando Predators found their way back on top last season, as they won their first division title since 2006 in a year where everything looked like it was going to go wrong.

A rival is defined as one who attempts to equal or surpass another in a particular respect. A rivalry is the act of competing against a rival. On Friday night, the Chicago Rush hosted the San Jose Sabercats at the Allstate Arena in what many fans of this fine sport would define as a rivalry.

Ten weeks down, ten more to go in the longest regular season in AFL history. Nine teams have winning records, last year's ArenaBowl participants are a combined 7-10, Jacksonville is riding an eight-game winning streak and Arizona has lost two games by two combined points. Game recaps, midyear awards, historical nuggets and other notes of interest are featured in this week's edition of Breaking it Down.

It took 25 seasons, but this is the first time in AFL history that the league's two most storied franchises are not in the playoffs in the same season.

Everyone thinks that they got screwed by the officials on a game in, game out basis. And it's true, the Tampa Bay Storm probably should have had one more play to run in the 57th edition of the War on I-4. But there's nothing to say that, even with one more play, that Tampa Bay would have beaten the Orlando Predators.

ORLANDO - Orlando Predators' head coach Rob Keefe has been arrested. On Sunday afternoon, Keefe was booked into the Orange County jail on domestic violence battery charges.

Can you believe that we're already almost a quarter of the way through the regular season?
