GLADS FALL TO 4-4

AND I WENT 5-3 IN MY PICKS THIS WEEK. GETTING DOWN TO THINGS, THE GLADS DIDN'T PLAY WELL AT ALL FROM THE SECOND QUARTER ON. RAYMOND PHILAW YOU HAVE TO PROTECT THE BALL BETTER AND THE COACHES YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM BETTER PREPARED THE NEXT TIME.

THE INDIANS ARE STILL STRUGGLING. THEY WON 5 IN A ROW AND NOW HAVE LOST 3 IN A ROW DUE TO THE LACK OF OFFENSIVE PRODUCTION. TIME TO FIRE WEDGE? SHAPIRO? OR MAYBE THE DOLAN'S SHOULD SELL THE TEAM TO A MORE SUITABLE BUYER WHO CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING WITH THE TEAM AND SPEND THE MONEY.

WEEK 9

IS HERE AND HERE ARE MY PICKS:

GR OVER KC: KC HAS TOO MANY PROBLEMS.
NO OVER UTAH: VOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOO.
CHI OVER COL: RUSH IN A FLUSH OF THE CRUSH.
ARI OVER GEO: GOING WITH A COIN FLIP ON THIS ONE.

CLE OVER NY: GLADS FANS LETS KEEP IT ROLLING. GO GLADS GO.
ORL OVER TAM: THE WAR ON I-4 GOES TO ORLANDO.
SJ OVER LA: LA GAVE UP 83 POINTS TO US LAST WEEK, THEY MAY GIVE UP 93 TO SJ.

DAL OVER PHI: DAL GETS IT DONE.

GLADS TAKE OUT AVENGERS

AND WILL PLAY NEW YORK NEXT WEEK ON FSN OHIO IN A PIVOTAL GAME. THE GLAD LAST NIGHT DEFEATED THE AVENGER 83-69. NOT VERY MUCH DEFENSE FROM EITHER SIDE BUT LIKE COACH WIPOLT SAID BEFORE THE GAME WHOEVER MADE THE MOST PLAYS WAS GOING TO WIN THE GAME. THE DEFENSE DID ENOUGH TO WIN AND THE OFFENSE TOOK CARE OF THE REST. GO GLADS AND PLAY LIKE YOU DID THIS WEEK AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT YOU WILL BE COMING HOME WITH A 5-3 RECORD INSTEAD OF 4-4. ON A SIDE NOTE THE INDIANS STILL CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE AFTER DROPPING YET ANOTHER SERIES AND WASTING YET ANOTHER GOOD PITCHING PERFORMANCE FROM PAUL BYRD. I THINK ITS TIME TO MAKE SOME MOVES.

WEEK 8 IS HERE

AND MY PICKS ARE BELOW. BEFORE THAT CONGRATS TO THE INDIANS FOR FINALLY HITTING AND DESTROYING THE TIGERS LAST NIGHT. SO HERE ARE MY EXPERT PICKS:

TAM OVER NY: SOMEONE MUST STOP NY.
SJ OVER UT: IF SJ LOSES THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG THAT IS NOT APPARENT WITH THE NAKED EYE.
ARI OVER NO: I HAVE A GUT FEELING.

COL OVER KC: WHAT WAY WILL KC LOSE THIS WEEK.
ORL OVER GEO: TEAMS ARE SURPRISING THIS YEAR, ESPECIALLY GEO BEING WEAK.
CLE OVER LA: A MUST WIN FOR OUR GLADIATORS.

CHI OVER GR: RAMPAGE ARE NOT WHO THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE.

C-BUS OVER PHI: MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL RETURNS TO C-BUS AND THEY WILL BE READY. THIS GAME WILL MAKE OR BREAK C-BUS. I THINK IT WILL MAKE THEM AND HOPEFULLY TURN THEIR SEASON AROUND.

WEEK 7

HERE WE GO. THE TRIBE HAS RETURNED HOME AFTER A 2-4 ROAD TRIP AS THE TAKE ON THE OAKLAND A'S TONIGHT AT P.......... FIELD. MEANWHILE THE GLADIATORS RETURN HOME FROM A 3 GAME ROAD TRIP TO FACE THE JOHN ELWAY OWNED COLORADO CRUSH. HERE ARE MY EXPERT PICKS FOR THIS WEEK:

CLE OVER COL: BERNIE BEATS ELWAY FOR FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS.

NO OVER DAL: SOMEONE FINALLY TAKES OUT BIG D.
SJ OVER PHI: SABERCATS CAN'T BE ALL THAT BAD.
LA OVER UTA: WHO IS WORSE.

GR OVER ORL: RAMPAGE BACK WITH A VENGEANCE.
TAM OVER ARI: STORM HAVE BEEN CALM THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.
CLB OVER NY: C-BUS STARTING TO FIND THEIR STRIDE.
CHI OVER KC: BRIGADE IN SHAMBLE.

TRIBE LOSES AND REST OF WEEK 6

THE TRIBE LOST 6-3 MAINLY BECAUSE OF ERIC WEDGE'S INABILITY TO MANAGE. HERE IS THE REST OF WEEK 6 IN THE AFL:

PHI OVER UTA: PHI IS HOT HOT HOT.
GR OVER NY: RAMPAGE MAY SCORE 100 THIS WEEK.
SJ OVER NO: SABERCATS TAME VOODOO.
CHI OVER ORL: PREDS ARE NOT WHO THEY THINK THEY ARE.
CLB OVER TAM: C-BUS WEATHERS THE STORM AGAIN.
CLE OVER DAL: DALLAS REALLY HATES TEAMS FROM OHIO.

WEEK 6 AND TRIBE

HERE ARE MY EXPERT PICKS FOR TONIGHT'S AFL GAMES.

KC OVER GEO: KC CAN'T BE THIS BAD.
LA OVER COL: I DON'T KNOW WHAT TEAM IS WORSE.

FINALLY THE 2-1 INDIANS START THEIR 6 GAME ROAD TRIP STARTING WITH OAKLAND TONIGHT AND ENDING WITH ANAHEIM ON WEDNESDAY. GO TRIBE. IF THEY PLAY WELL ENOUGH THEY SHOULD END UP ANYWHERE WITH 4-5 WINS ON THIS TRIP. 6 WOULD BE NICE THOUGH. THIS EARLY ROAD TRIP COULD TELL THE TALE OF THE TAPE FOR THIS YEAR'S TRIBE.

WILD WEEK AHEAD

FIRST CONGRATS TO THE TRIBE AS THEY GOT THEIR SEASON STARTED ON THE RIGHT FOOT BY DEFEATING THE WHITE SOX 10-8 YESTERDAY. THEY WILL NOW PLAY WED, AND THURSDAY BEFORE LEAVING FOR OAKLAND ON A WEST COAST TRIP. SECONDLY THE DESTROYERS FELL TO 1-4 BY LOSING ON A LAST SECOND FIELD GOAL. IF THEY EVER GOT AN OFFENSE GOING THEY COULD BE A DANGEROUS TEAM. THERE STILL IS TIME TO CATCH UP AS 3 OF THEIR NEXT 4 GAMES OUR AT C-BUS.
