Iron Man!

No, not the drunk (ex-drunk? Ah, who the hell cares?!) Marvel super-hero, but he his a member of the Avengers. He is Kevin Ingram, K.I. to his friends and fans, and in 2005 he was named Ironman of the Year.

Back then, before John Elway fucked up the league, Arena Football was an ironman game. Six of the eight players on the field had to play both offense and defence and you could only substitute one of them once a quarter. In 2005 Ingram had 88 receptions for 1,052 yards and 23 touchdowns. He also had six interceptions and 68 tackles; a true ironman.

Though he might play defensive back every now and then, he is now pretty much a wide receiver and special teams player. A fractured right thumb kept Kevin out for five games this season, but he was back last Saturday and played great (eight catches for 137 yards and three touchdowns). Even with the five games off he is tied for leading scorer on the team with 95 receptions for 1,059 yards and 23 touchdowns and 19 kick-off returns for 265 yards and one touchdown.

We will need everything Kevin can give us on Monday as we once again play the Utah Blaze for the second game in a row. We have not beat them yet, but I think our record is about to improve.
