I was watching a Gladiators game the other day and saw Redd playing...checked the Gladiator site and sure enough he's on the roster. Hoping the game is on Sports Time Ohio or FSO.

My wife's company, Hyland Software, has either a group of seats OR still has their loge for these games too. Unfortunately, she was unable to get the tix for this game. Not sure if I'd go alone as my stepdaughter and husband are going to be weekend guests (tho both are BG alums).
But I'd like to see TWO former BG stars perform, so we'll see. :-k

Threw for 6 and RAN (if you can believe it) for another! Robert Redd caught 2 TD passes for the Glads... I DID go to the game, and sat in my wife's company suite....SWEET! Figure the two Falcons accounted for NINE scores in the game...first Arena game I've seen in person...kind of wild and crazy, but I wouldn't want to be a defensive player in this game.

They have defenses in arena leagues? It seems all the rules are designed to allow for explosive offenses and lots and lots of points.

That was pretty much my point....even though it's a tighter area, all it takes is one move for a WR and he's literally free as a bird.
But OMAR looked very good; most incompletions were throwaways to avoid pressure or not throwing into coverage.

Don't most of the players play both ways in AFL?

I haven't watched in a long time, but I thought that's how it used to be.

Hambb,
I saw a few players stay on the field on possession changes, but most of the time there were major subs taking place...The guy who caught the winning TD pass from Omar was one who did seem to go both ways for the majority of the game. Didn't pay a lot of attention to the linemen, but it seemed as if at least 5-6 subs came in on possession changes.... (8 play at one time)
