July 5, 2015

Over thirty-one thousand people passed through the turnstiles of Mile High Stadium on Saturday night to watch the Denver Outlaws play host to the Boston Cannons.

With only 3 minutes and 48 seconds left of the game you could hear parts of the crowd cheering “RUNKEL….RUNKEL….WE WANT RUNKEL”. The Hounds fans wanted to take Pierce Bassett out and put Jack Runkel. Florida was ahead 19-9 and the fans just didn’t want to get stomped any more. The game though started out on a high note for Charlotte with a goal under 2 minutes into the game….

The Rochester Rattlers (5 – 5) head to Columbus in the second half of a home-and-home series with the Ohio Machine (6 – 4). The Rattlers are coming off a tough loss at home to Ohio, where the Machine’s electric offense on top of excellent defense and goal-tending helped propel them to a commanding 17 – 12 victory. Possibly the biggest factor in their win however was the domination of…

The 2008 New England Patriots. The 2013 Denver Outlaws. The 2014-15 University of Kentucky’s Men’s Basketball. What does all these teams have in common? All of them achieved a perfect regular season.

However, following the All-Star game and a couple bad defeats at…
