And still, it nearly wasn't enough.
With the Legends' game against the Gladiators knotted at 35-35 in the closing seconds, Gladiators defense back, Mel Renfo, who midway through the fourth quarter returned a kickoff 98 yards for the game-tying score, intercepted a ... Read More

At 2-6, the Gladiators have been hampered by several close losses and a defense that, aside from a solid performance in their last game against the Atlanta M's (a 28-17 win), has consistently given up big plays, and points, to the opposition.
"That win against Atlanta was big," Gladiators quarterback Sammy Baugh said. "We needed to ... Read More

Anthony Carter caught a 13-yard touchdown pass from Neil O'Donnell in the final 10 seconds of regulation to send the Armchair QB's North Division game into overtime. The Norsemen won the toss and quickly moved into field goal range, where Lance Barber connected on a 28-yard field goal to give the Noresmen the 27-24 victory. ... Read More

Starting quarterback Sammy Baugh, who was also moonlighting as the team's free safety, has been benched on defense, leaving him to focus solely on his offensive responsibilities.
Baugh wasn't pleased when he heard the news.
"Sure I've had some bad games on defense but give me credit for busting my *** and playing both sides of the ball," ... Read More

"With our offense, I would've thought we'd be no worse than 3-2 at this point," Owner/coach Dan Johnson said. "Honestly, our record is really disappointing and I hope the players take it personally and do something about it."
The Gladiators have been stymied by an inconsistent defense. While the defensive unit has been ... Read More

That's about the only thing one could say after watching the Nashville Fury and Brooklyn G's battle it out Nov. 25 in Nashville.
After going into a second overtime (Donovan McNabb would love this league because there are no ties), the Fury finally secured a 19-16 victory on a 31-yard field goal by Stephen Griffin.
The win is the fifth in the last six games for the Fury, who keep their slim playoff hopes alive at 6-7.
"That was a battle," ... Read More

The Fury defense allowed no points as the Renegades got their lone score on a kickoff return by Wesley Walker in the third quarter. The Fury sacked Renegades quarterback Johnny Unitas five times and held the Renegades to just 122 yards of total offense.
"The defensive line was a force all game," Fury coach Dan Johnson said. "The guys were getting a great push and, I think, ... Read More

The game was really a tale of two halves. In the first, offense reigned. Okoye rumbled for over 200 yards in the half and scored a pair of touchdowns to stake the Fury to a 31-14 halftime advantage. The Stallions moved the ball consistently in the half and likely would've scored more than two touchdowns had it not been for a ... Read More

Faulk, who had 185 yards on 19 carries and five receptions for 40 yards, appeared to be stopped short of first down yardage on the third-down play, but broke free of a Dick Butkus tackle and then cruised to the end zone to end the game.
"I've got to make that play," said a dejected Butkus ... Read More

-The roster editor is tedious, but a lot of fun at the same time. I went through and re-named all the players on my Giants team. I went with an all-time great team, and here's what I came up with:
QB: Eli Manning, Phil Simms, Y.A. Tittle
RB: Dave Meggett (for returns), Brandon Jacobs, Tiki Barber, Maurice Carthon
WR: Plaxico Burress, ... Read More

I have played a couple of quick games so far and here's my initial thoughts:
Classic Tecmo gameplay, so everyone that played the old games will have no trouble getting into this one. The stylus controls are pretty responsive but I think I'll stick to the classic button controls.
One neat twist is that you actually change sides of the ... Read More

The Fury, once again, received a monster individual performance from running back Christian Okoye. The "Nigerian Nightmare" rumbled for 277 yards on 24 carries and three touchdowns.
"It all starts up front," Okoye said. "My offensive line has been dominating the line of scrimmage all season. I just run behind ... Read More

The Fury's defense, which had been torched by Dan Marino in the teams' first outing, came to play today, with Roger Wehrli in particular ... Read More

Yes, Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff is coming out next week and I am really excited about that. I hope, hope, it comes close to matching the on-field experience of Tecmo Super Bowl, perhaps still ... Read More
