Avengers Unite!

Umm, Los Angeles Avengers that is.

The Better Half and I took in an LA Avengers game last weekend.

It was a lot of fun and I had been curious ever since I heard that Mikes Greenberg and Golic (from ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike Show) had "done" an Arena Football League game for ESPN.

Even former Olympic medalist Amanda Beard was on hand.

We beat the hated Arizona Rattlers on the last play of the game! Now who says that Los Angeles doesn't love Football?!













Here is a report from the Los Angeles Times:

The Avengers have not had many bounces go their way this season, but veteran wide receiver Kevin Ingram recovered two key turnovers on kickoffs Saturday night to help L.A. defeat the Arizona Rattlers, 66-59, at Staples Center.

Early in the fourth, the Avengers tied the score, 45-45, on a short touchdown run by Josh Jeffries and took a 52-45 lead on the ensuing kickoff when Ingram recovered a Rattlers fumble in the end zone.

After Arizona responded with a Lang Campbell scoring pass to Trandon Harvey to tie the score at 52-52, Jeffries scored his second touchdown to put the Avengers in front, 59-52.

The Rattlers responded with a Campbell scoring pass to Burley for a 59-59 tie.

The game was decided on Hicks' touchdown pass to Marshall, who had a team-high nine catches for 120 yards and two scores.
