Head Coach Doug Plank of the Orlando Predators onside kicked six times on Friday night. The San Jose SaberCats recovered all six of the onside kicks, but the fact that Plank had the fortitude to try all those onsiders changed the game and really was the only reason the Predators were even remotely in a game that turned out to be a 65-62 defeat at HP Pavilion. ....
ArenaBowl XXV will be held at New Orleans Arena, home for the New Orleans VooDoo. As the No. 4 seed in the American Conference playoffs, the VooDoo know that they have no chance of hosting either of their first two playoff games.

Adam Markowitz Friday August 10, 2012 NEW ORLEANS When you look into the eyes of Philadelphia Soul DL Bryan Robinson on the field, you have to see a man that is full of intensity. He s always out to work harder than you, and virtually 100% of the time, he does just that. When I had the chance to look into his eyes at Media Day on Wednesday, just 48 hours before ArenaBowl XXV, I saw a man that knows that he is on the verge of something special. And he s enjoying every single minute of it. I ll have to admit that this is a man that I have a heck of a lot of respect for. A native of Delaware, Robinson always had a rough road to become a professional football player at any level. He stayed near his hometown for school, going to a very small school, Wesley College, a Division III college with a listed enrollment for last school year of 2,320. ....
