So, the Rush beat Orlando 69-61 to win Arena Bowl XX in Las Vegas. Great. It’s like going to Vegas and winning at keno.
2. Little engines that could
The Rush won three road playoff games, just like the Steelers. The difference is Pittsburgh rode “The Bus” to the title, and the Rush won a championship and took the bus home.
3. Rush job
Really, we can’t afford to brush off any titles around here. Unfortunately, the kind of fans who would be into arena football are the kind to be paying more attention to the World Cup.
4. Identity crisis
I like this Cubs kid, Carlos Marmol. Who are you, again?
5. Yugo, boys!
The Fire’s new stadium has been named Toyota Park. “Toyota?” “Park?” Get it? What, do you yuppies all drive Benzes?”
6. Make the connection
The Fire christened Toyota Park with a 3-3 draw against New England. Only a soccer fan could love a tie, which some say is like kissing your sister. Hmmm.
7. Checking in
You want to know something interesting that happened in the WNBA this weekend? So do I.
8. Court jester
Barry Bonds dropped his lawsuit against two reporters. If there’s any justice, he’ll file one against himself.
9. Give until you hurt
Brett Favre hosted a charity softball game Sunday. Charity begins at home, Brett, and there’s no bigger charity case than the Packers.
FIVE THINGS …
… that will make the Rush return to Vegas:
– Win an Arena Bowl, get surf and turf for 99 cents.
– Game doesn’t hurt so much after seeing Roy Horn.
– Celine Dion can tackle.
– Bourbon and hookers are Vegas’ chief import.
– They left their keys in the hotel room.
