The Good, The Bad, The Ugly!

I took my dad, my son Brian, his friend Travis and Travis's dad Randy to the Avengers game on Saturday. We lost by 10 points in the season finale.

The Good

Our seats were on the 13th row right next to the tunnel where the Avenger dancers, The A-Team, come out on to the field. Brian had a great time leaning over and gawking at the ladies. My dad had never been to an Arena Football game or to the Staples Center before and had a great time. Travis and Randy seemed to have a good time too. Kevin Ingram, our #1 wide receiver was back off of injured reserve and played very well. Oh, and we got some cool Avenger trading cards when we came in through the door. I'm going to share them with you over the next few days as we get ready for our playoff game next Monday.

The Bad

I said it, we lost by 10 points, but we were down by 20 point with 3 minutes to go and never gave up. Given that, the bad was not nearly as bad as it could have been.

The Ugly

Our quarterback, Sonny Cumbie threw three interceptions and was pulled in the fourth quarter. This is the first game Sonny was ever pulled from for performance issues (he left a game or two when we had insurmountable leads). Sonny's play in the fourth was ugly, but in his second season with the team and first full season as our QB he holds the team record for completion percentage in a single game, completions in a single game, passing yards in a season, and consecutive passes without an interception. Considering we had Tony Graziani, the premiere passer in the league, for three seasons, it says a lot about Sonny that he is the one holding all the team records. Sonny is our future and everyone has an ugly game now and then.
