Believe it or not, the Cleveland Gladiators are one win away from playing in the Arena Bowl. This past Monday the Gladiators defeated the Georgia Force 73-70, setting up a National Conference title match with Jon Bon Jovi's Philadelphia Soul on Saturday.Since many Gladiator fans have yet to watch an actual Gladiator game, I thought it would be fun to play a little "getting to know your players" exercise.
The game is called "Gladiator or Zoologist." It's pretty simple, I will provide you with a name and two brief descriptions. All you have to do is guess weather or not the person named is a current player for the Cleveland Gladiators or an accredited student of animals.

I demand a recount! Before Brush Cushing became an Associate Research Scientist he played halfback for the New York Dragons :P
Wish i paid more attention to Arena Football because I saw the enitre Gladiators team at the Atlanta airport on Tuesday. Weren't they the Las Vegas Gladiators at one time? I will be rooting for Cleveland though (they need a title of some form) since I am no fan of Bon Jovi.
Awesome. I got two right. (No scrolling over the link...)
Rick -- 2 ain't bad - especially since you did it the honest way. I just wonder how many Bernie would get right.
It is an amazing post. I really like that games. You can't be a fan. If yo don't know your team members. But it is funny that you have to pick between zoologist or Gladiator.
