Jonah Rosenblum Sunday July 6, 2014 CLEVELAND - From the outset, the Gladiators had the advantage. They just struggled to leave a struggling Portland team behind. In what seemed an eternally-lasting, one-score game, the Gladiators finally separated early in the fourth quarter. And all in a matter of minutes. LaRoche Jackson easily took a kick back for a 41-34 lead. On Portlands ensuing drive, fellow Cleveland defensive back Joe Phinisee saved Dominic Jones, who dropped an easy third-down pi...

Michna managed the ball efficiently and contributed to the SaberCats first game without a turnover this season. “He’s getting better. He’s smart with the football. He gets it out of his hands quick and he definitely can t...

Adam Markowitz Friday August 10, 2012 NEW ORLEANS -- When you look into the eyes of Philadelphia Soul DL Bryan Robinson on the field, you have to see a man that is full of intensity. Hes always out to work harder than you, and virtually 100% of the time, he does just that. When I had the chance to look into his eyes at Media Day on Wednesday, just 48 hours before ArenaBowl XXV, I saw a man that knows that he is on the verge of something special. And hes enjoying every single minute of it. Ill h...

Monday July 19, 2010 Last year, when the Arena Football League was absent from the sports landscape, I used the opportunity to take in some arenafootball2 games with my sons. We traveled to Wisconsin from Michigan to see the Milwaukee Iron play twice and we even made a trip to Oklahoma to see the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz play a game. This year, the AFL is back and the Cleveland Gladiators were on my radar as a team to see in person. When I looked at the 2010 AFL schedule and saw that Oklahoma C...

Griffin Aseltine Saturday June 28, 2014 Coming into Friday night’s matchup between bitter rivals from both historical and modern perspectives, playoff implications were hardly in the discussion of what was on the line. With both the Rattlers and the SaberCats already punching in their tickets to the postseason, revenge, momentum, and perfection represented the true elements of what was really at stake. Before this shocker unfolded, the Arizona Rattlers held a 14-0 record and had a favorable c...

Jeffrey Giuliani Friday August 2, 2013 Thursday evening’s playoff game between the Spokane Shock and Chicago Rush was a tale of two different halves. The first half was a gritty half, with defenses stepping up and quarterbacks getting thrown around like ragdolls. On the flip side, the second half was an offensive shootout, where scoring was effortless and the scoreboard was lighting up like a pinball machine. In the end, it was the Shock who triumphed over the gutsy Rush by a score of 69-47, ...

Tim Capper Thursday June 7, 2012 Throwback uniforms are all the craze in professional sports. It seems that no matter how bad a uniform set was, if a team is looking for something unique to wear, you can be guaranteed it will make an appearance.  If the throwbacks are that popular, they will continue to be used again and again. This weekend, the Milwaukee Mustangs are taking a ride on the throwback uniform bandwagon. They will be looking to the team’s past for this week’s game versus the P...

Adam J Locascio Thursday March 3, 2011 With all the damage and destruction surrounding the Tampa Bay Storm this off-season, it’s a miracle that they haven’t changed the name of the franchise to “Katrina.” The Storm’s front office has been mired in controversy since last season’s ArenaBowl loss to the Spokane Shock. The team has changed owners, changed head coaches and general managers, endured law suits and failed to re-sign their top-flight quarterback. And how was YOUR vacation? P...

Austin finished 19-of-27 for 259 yards and six touchdowns. "Chris is struggling a bit, and weve started off slow every game alm...
