This War on I-4 Like None Other

Arena Football League fans who are knowledgeable of the game know that this league is a heck of a lot better off when both the Tampa Bay Storm and the Orlando Predators are both good. The truth of the matter? The last time that both of these teams were good at the same time was 2010, but even then, those teams were seeded third and fourth in the playoffs that season, and the Preds only just squeaked into the playoffs at 8-8.
