Even after an inaugural home victory over the Portland Thunder last week, it just seems like the LA KISS have yet to be tested. Their first two wins have been against opponents who have had little experience in a different style of football, and many of the players know that most of these games against formidable opponents have to be earned.
When you play against a team like Cleveland, they don t make mistakes, wide receiver Samie Parker said. They came in 3-0 for a reason and they were ready for us. If we were able to keep the ball in front of us, play our game and use our experience, we knew that there would have been chances that we could have hung at the end of the game.

Friday s 2011 opener will be the first Arena Football League game for the San Jose SaberCats in 958 days. It was more than two and half years ago that the three-time ArenaBowl champs fell three points shy of hoisting the Foster Trophy for a fourth time.
In the months following ArenaBowl XXII, the Arena world went from thriving to dying. By December of 2008, the league suspended operations and the entire 2009 season was lost. Late in 2009, Arena Football One formed from a hodge-podge of arenafootball2 teams and a handful of AFL franchises. Months later, AF1 bought all the rights of the AFL and re-branded itself as the AFL. Absent from the 15 teams of the 2010 re-launch was the SaberCats.
