Debuting their new black jerseys, the Chicago Rush annihilated the Los Angeles Avengers last night 72 to 28. Not only was it a major pounding on the Avengers, but the Rush also clinched the Central Division and guaranteed a bye for the first week of the playoffs. More pictures and commentary to come later today.
Here’s a quick video I took at the Chicago Rush/Rampage game.
In what turned into a surprisingly close game, the Rush beat the Rampage 55-52.

Grabowski leads the team into the arena.
Not a lot of defense in the game
Here’s a video that I took for the intro for the Chicago Rush
The Chicago Rush smashed the Arizona Rattlers tonight 59 to 35.
The game started out close. Arizona lept out ahead with the Rush catching up quickly.
Daimen Harrell had six catches for 100 yards and 3 touchdowns.
The Rush defense put a lot of pressure on the Arizona QB
There was a lot of hard hitting in this game, especially near the end of the game. A few times we thought that a little fistacuffs might happen.
Here are a few images I took… I left my good camera at home, but was still able to snag some shots and video. More are coming.
Here’s another video of the Chicago Rush scoring a touchdown against the Philly Soul
Here’s a video I snagged of the Rush scoring a touchdown today.
The Chicago Rush lost to the Philadelphia Soul today 49-60. As always, the pregame for the Rush is a blast.
However, the game started off poorly with the Soul quickly taking a 13 point lead. The Rush came back quickly and scored a touchdown.
Dan Franz, nails another extra point.
The Chicago Rush must not have any lawyers on staff, because I can’t believe this is even allowed. Fan boxing!!!
OK, so let’s get two fans, give them gigantic boxing gloves and let them pound each other… Awesome. I’m sure when it goes to court, they can use this picture as "People’s Exhibit A".
The Rush tried to rally near the end of the game, but not even Grabowski could get the team in motion
In the end, the Rush couldn’t pull it out.
However, at the end of the game, Bobby Sippio, former Rush receiver (now with the KC Chiefs), showed why I love the AFL. He came back to Chicago and signed autographs for the fans.
Now that’s cool.
The next home game is against the Colorado Crush. Bring it on!
