Ace: I understand that the folks at arenafootball.com aren't always the brightest in terms of box scores/game recaps. You'll be able to get those probably in the morning. If not, try each of the teams' websites. If you can't get one there, you can always check for local beat writers' articles in local papers (for example, the Chicago Tribune for the Rush game or the Tampa Tribune for the Storm games). I like to read these little articles of beat writers because I usually find out about some injury that I didn't know before that might not show up on an injury report later in the week.
Thanks for all of the notes guys!

I boycotted betting the NBA awhile ago... Means I have no reason to watch it! I hate the NBA... College basketball is one thing... I hate the pros though. This game is a lot more predictable because these guys are like college kids for the most part: playing for the fun of the game, not the money or endorsement involved.

Guru...was surprised you switch to San Jose as I bet Tampa from your earlier comment.."coach Tim Marcum gets his team up for big games"..this had to be one of the biggest for him. Also read somewhere else that Marcum has one of the best Def minds in the AFL..how true is this?
Also read where D/S Thomas was out for SJ and this was of some significance. After the game was over read where top WR Hundron did not play for SJ...was this known prior to game...newspapers,injury sites,etc. Anyway earlier in week it seem to me that Tampa was going to be a play for you..maybe do what I do and sometimes overthink a game..i do this in NFL as i get in NFL Hilton Supercontest every year where you are required to submit your 5 top plays each week...1st thought is usually the best.
Anyway you did very well and will be looking forward to your thoughts for 2nd week. As I mentioned before i am new to AFL but many years capping NFL. Here in Vegas, NBC gave us Pred/LV games and i thoroughly enjoyed betting and watching these wacky games. I will check stats per your suggested sites and will bone up on rules especially those concerning last minute. Might be able to contribute something as we progress along.

I had some information about pre-game warmups. I knew about all the injuries San Jose had. But a buddy of a buddy passed along the information from the game in Tampa that Shane Stafford (Tampa's QB) looked like a school girl in warm-ups, short-arming everything, that Clif Dell (one of their better WRs) was limping, and that Matt George (their kicker) was 5 for 9 in PATs in warmups. Either I was given shoddy info, or Tampa's guys looked a lot better after Marcum tore into them before the game. Either way, it was a small play that, at this point, I know I shouldn't have played. The over in the 2nd half I had in the win column... then no points in the last 4 minutes of the game... San Jose had 2 shots to get to over, and ended up with 2 points out of the necessary 5 required for my over... Oh well... Get 'em next week.
