Let see, where do I begin? The Soul went into Columbus and kicked their asses to the curb. Then they hosted the Dallas Desperadoes and kicked their asses to the curb and rode off with their women. But that win came with a loss, or two losses. First, we lost Mike Brown for 4 weeks with a hamstring or quad injury. I forget which. Secondly, we lost Brian Mance for the year with a broken fibula. This is the one I find puzzling. It's my understanding that most bone breaks take 8 weeks to heal. Meaning, he should be back for Week 18 or the first round of the playoffs. Coach Munsey said he was out for the season but no one clarified if he could be back for the playoffs or not. Way to go there media!!!! Then we go to Cleveland on three days rest and play the Gladiators. This is where the shit hit the fan. First, D'Orozio goes down for 3-4 weeks on a similar play that Graziani went down on in week 4 against the Dragons. Then Graziani aggravates his knee injury and is questionable for next week's game against the Georgia Force in Atlanta, or where ever they play. Then Watts breaks his ankle and Bryan Save gets injured sometime during the game. I did not hear what actually happened to him. Needless to say, we lost that game by 12. Ironically, on the Center-QB exchange with less than a minute to go. In the span of 30 minutes, I went from wondering what our magic number was to clinching a playoff spot to wondering if we would win another game the rest of the season. Soul fans, it's that bad.

Now some news...Jon Bon Jovi was on Mike Missanelli's show on 950AM. Mike Miss asked JBJ about rumors of him trying to sell the team. Not only did he not deny it, but he actually said that he did not like the direction the league is headed. First, what direction is that? All the rule changes or the single entity ownership? I'm guessing the latter. Could this also mean we will have a new ownership group soon? Only time will tell.
