Now that’s… Perfect

Perfection was achieved on a steamy and stormy Saturday night, and despite less than 4,000 diehard fans coming out to see the best team no one saw, the Chicago Slaughter defeated a game Fort Wayne Freedom 58-48. The Freedom managed to hold off the Slaughter in the first quarter and also managed to do something very few have done in the [read more...]

Season No One Saw About to End

Regardless of what happens on Saturday night, the Chicago Slaughter's 2009 season will end. It will either end with a historic victory over the Fort Wayne Freedom or one of the biggest chokejobs I'll have ever seen. With a questionable future of the AFL, this might be the last opportunity for these group of former Rush players to come together and [read more...]

Slaughter One Win Away from 14-0

In a season that no one seems to be watching and where a team has cruised through the CIFL competition, Chicago Slaughter quarterback Russ Michna seems to understand what it means to reach the 2009 CIFL championship game undefeated. “These are some of the of the most talented guys I’ve ever played with, it’s great to be around them,” Michna said, [read more...]

No Guarantee for Next Year

Yes, there will be a next year, but this year will be hard to forget. The Rush will be back next year, and one's still not enough. These are the words Adam Rosen and I used to describe the end of the Chicago Rush season. It was almost one year ago that the Grand Rapids Rampage stormed into the Allstate Arena and [read more...]

Rush Future Looks Bleak, Slaughter Immediate Future Looks Bright

Lacy Banks paints a depressing picture of the AFL in the Sun-Times today. There really isn't much to say at this point. The Arena Football League continues to invent ways of screwing up. First, there was hope for a season in 2010. Now Rush owner Alan Levin wants to open the doors back in 2011. Considering the theory of "out [read more...]

Indoor Football Notes 5/28/09

There's just one game left for the Chicago Slaughter as they attempt to maintain an undefeated season against the Wisconsin Wolfpack.

New Guy, Still Undefeated

Despite breaking league records, clinching homefield, and drawing one of the larger crowd at the Sears Centre, the biggest news of the night seemed to be “the new guy.” The new guy was Bobby Sippio. The newest Chicago Slaughter wide receiver played his first indoor football game in two years. He was the 9th former Rush player to play with the [read more...]

Slaughter Sign Sippio

In a move that only makes this CIFL season unfair, the Chicago Slaughter signed AFL stand-out wide receiver Bobby Sippio to a contract for the remainder of the season. This increases the amount of former Rush players to eight and only increases the odds of a championship. Sippio joined the Chicago Rush at the tail of the 2006 season that saw [read more...]

Slaughter Keep Rolling Down the River

Despite the absence of Donovan Morgan and the loss of Reggie Gray at the tail end of the first half, the Chicago Slaughter remained undefeated and clinched a playoff spot against the Rock River Raptors. The 77-41 victory came against a Raptors team that won four in a row. The 36 point differential indicates a blowout, but the Slaughter only began [read more...]
