Gladiator or Zoologist: A Game for Cleveland AFL Fans

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.

Let's get started:

1.) Craig Heimburger

Is Mr. Craig Heimburger a 320 lb offensive lineman for the Cleveland Gladiators who in 2001 played in 11 games with the Buffalo Bills?

OR

Is Mr. Craig Heimburger a Cornell educated Zoologist who studies the modes and rates of reproduction exhibited by parasitic marine lifeforms?

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.

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.
