The Arizona Rattlers' latest trip to Las Vegas came up snake eyes. After a few years of being on the right side of history, Arizona made some of the wrong kind last weekend with a 70-53 loss to the expansion Las Vegas Outlaws.
Every team says they have the best fans, but it is quite another thing to prove it. Demonstrating the true passion of Arena Football League fans, more than 100 Arizona Rattlers diehards made the trip west to California last weekend to watch their team dominate the Los Angeles KISS 70-25.
In just three years in the Arena Football League, Arizona Rattlers offensive lineman Michael Huey has been named to the All-Arena offensive team every season and has claimed two championships with a chance for a third on August 23. All while scoring touchdowns along the way. Quite simply, Huey is living an offensive lineman's dream.
You can't spot a great football team a 21-point lead seven minutes into any game. The Arizona Rattlers simply did not show up to play in ArenaBowl 29 on Friday afternoon at Gila River Arena about a half hour west of their usual home field the Snake Pit in downtown Phoenix.
