Rush Defense Rattles Arizona

Before the 2008 season, the Arizona Rattlers guaranteed a playoff berth to season ticket holders. After watching the Rush demolish them 59-35, they may want to watch what they say before showing any more bravado. Defensive end John Moyer may have put it best.

Rush Continue To Roll

After a little history, a poor defensive half, two blocked kicks, and the discovering of a new star receiver, the Chicago Rush improved their record to 3-1 with a 70-35 victory over the Colorado Crush.

Regular starting quarterback Sherdrick Bonner missed the game due to the birth of his child back in Arizona, and backup quarterback [read more...]

The Zambrano Factor

Saturday, August 07, 2004 SPECIAL FROM MAGAZINE - AUGUST 2004 Carlos Zambrano sprints out onto the field during the Cubs' family game day.
