Tampa Bay Storm

Shame-faced admission: I didn't even know we still had an Arena football team in Tampa Bay.

They are the 5 time World Champions! Where have I been?

At Friday's game, they played New Orleans.  I found it a  little disconcerting at first because the color of the Storm's uniform is almost identical to the New Orlean's Saints.    

For the record, I still think it's like watching peewee football.  The goal post looks like it's made of legos and it's hard to take the plays seriously.  Still, there was a lot of side entertainment going on between plays, such as the football throwing contest, the uh, tricycle riding contest, some odd dancing?  All kinds of funky stuff. The crowd was having a great time Friday night, and I'll say this yet again: no matter which team they're rooting for, Tampa Bay fans ROCK!

A great night at the Ice Palace, oh yeah. ;)
