It seems that the city of Cleveland is all the sports world is talking about lately. From the return of LeBron James to the NBA Cleveland Cavaliers to the minute-by-minute coverage of everything that rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel is doing at the Cleveland Browns NFL training camp.

How could a Gladiators team that lost 12 of its first 14 last year, that didn't win its third game until July, go into Memorial Day 2014 undefeated?
