Come on, Gladiators!

Yep, I've lowered my standards this time of year. All that's going on is Indians baseball, and quite frankly, that's enough to kill a man. One weekend remains in the Arena Football League before the Playoffs. Bernie Kosar's Cleveland Gladiators sit at 8-7, one win away from making the Playoffs. Playoffs? Playoffs? Don't talk about...playoffs!

Yep, I'm talking playoffs. All they have to do is beat their interstate rivals, the Columbus Destroyers and they're in. Did I mention that Columbus is 3-12? Yep. So the Gladiators should win and make the playoffs. However, they are still a football team in Cleveland, so anything is possible. Raymond Philyaw, Quarterback for the Gladiators is having a great season. Over 4,000 yards, 77 TD's, and only 10 INT's. Marlion Jackson leads the AFL in rushing, and Otis Amey leads the league in receiving TD's with 48. They have a good team, so hopefully they get in. It'll be cool to see how far they can go, before disappointment sets in.

On another note, don't forget to watch the Indians get steam-rolled tonight in Colorado. Paul Byrd is pitching. Ugh.
