NEW ORLEANS - The news was really all bad in the Bayou on Friday night for the New Orleans VooDoo. They never led against the Cleveland Gladiators and dropped to 2-10 following a 51-34 loss, and for all intents and purposes, they had their playoff hopes dashed for good.
If the headline seems familiar, you can thank the Tampa Bay Storm for yet another resilient, last-minute comeback victory on Saturday night this time at home against the Washington Valor.
Another week, another slow start. The Spokane Shock, after rattling off five wins to start the season, have hit a slump. They dropped their last contest to the Utah Blaze by a score of 52-48. It marked their second loss in a row, this time to a division opponent. Similar to their loss against Tampa Bay, Spokane nearly dug themselves out of a first half hole, but couldn't manage to finish the job.
