Most of the attention this offseason for the Chicago Rush, and deservedly so, has gone toward their ownership debacle. Going from getting a new owner with only months to go prior to the season, the owner getting terminated from the league due to not securing sponsorships or a lease with the Allstate Arena, being taken back over by the league, and then getting another new owner with just five weeks to go before the 2013 season definitely warrants the attention of both the fans and the rest of the league.

Friday night, Arizona became the fifth team to qualify for the playoffs, Spokane moved one step closer to securing homefield throughout the entire postseason and Iowa was eliminated. Tonight, three division titles could be won, the National Conference playoff teams might be decided and overall seven of eight playoff teams could be in the books.
I just love how well this league keeps its statistics right now. Apparently Milwaukee Iron QB Chris Greisen has three receptions and a made extra point on the season. I mean, if the dude has 12 more games like he did the first three, he's going to throw 128 touchdown passes against exactly zero interceptions. Do we really need to give him credit for any more stats than that?
Prior to Saturday night's game, there was already no love lost between the Jacksonville Sharks and the Orlando Predators. The intensity of this budding rivalry has officially been kicked up a notch. In what very well could be a playoff preview, the Sharks beat the Predators 62-55 to take a commanding two and a half-game lead in the Southeast Division with just three games to play.
