Headlines - July 17, 2010

Tulsa World's Recap of the Bossier Win: "The Talons took the lead late in the first quarter and never relinquished it as they improved to 8-5."

Talon's still haven't locked up the division: "With OKC winning this past weekend, we have not locked up the division yet," Allner said. "That's what we've been talking about, and that's our main focus."

Spiderman wins Offensive Player of the Week Honors: "Morgan finished with 9 catches for 180 yards and 5 touchdowns. His final touchdown went for 45 yards as he sprinted away from the Battle Wings defensive back down the sideline. Morgan is now second in the league with 44 touchdown receptions on the season."

A look to tonight's game: "A win over the Vipers (6-7) and an Oklahoma City Yard Dawgs loss to the Cleveland Gladiators would clinch the division for the Talons (8-5)."

Live Coverage: Bossier-Shreveport Battlewings at Tulsa Talons - July 10, 2010

Headlines - July 10, 2010

Recap from the Cleveland Thumping

Jamar Ransom won the AFL's Highlight of the Week Award for his Pick 6 in the Cleveland Game

Tulsa likely to have Three 1,000+ receivers this season: "The Talons are on track to have three 1,000-yard receivers in the same season for the first time. Donovan Morgan reached quadruple digits weeks ago and has 1,407 yards. Carlese Franklin and Jeff Hughley have 934 and 933, respectively, with four games left."

The Tulsa World takes a look at an improved Talons Defense: "With our offense, if you give us three or four additional possessions, and limit them, then we believe we'll win. We are that confident in our offense to go out and score on nearly every possession. So, we're not talking about a lot of defense. Make a few stops."

Brett Rayl made an interesting post to facebook: "Thanks to all my Texas friends for making my trip so much fun! I will be back in September for good, so keep in touch." The phrase that concerns me is "for good," is Brett saying this is his last year with the Talons? It's probably not but just putting it out there.

This story made me love Donovan Morgan even more

A look at fullback Odie Armstrong: "Coming back here was a no-brainer. I loved the city and the guys they had coming back. It was an opportunity I couldn't pass up."

Last night Tampa Bay was the first team to clinch a Playoff Birth

Tonight's game from Bossier's viewpoint: "I want to embarrass Tulsa," Battle Wings wide receiver and backup quarterback Kinsmon Lancaster said. "Last year they beat us up there when we got the bad end of the stick. Tulsa is like the brother you can't get along with and you're always in competition with. I hate Tulsa. I hate Tulsa with a passion."

With the Yard Dawgz still being in the Division race I decided to use one of their website videos today. I don't know why, but I really think they always have great promotional videos. I kind of with the Talons would do something in the same manner:
