    By Brian Rippey
    Reading Eagle

    The Reading Express was so hot for Thursday's game you could almost see the steam coming from the players.

    In addition to the motivation of advancing in the American Indoor Football Association playoffs, the Express wanted to settle a score against a team it lost to twice during the regular season.

    For Reading to claim elusive AIFA title, quarterback Rob Flowers will have to return to early-season form

    By Brian Rippey
    Reading Eagle

    Some people are never satisfied.

    Reading Express quarterback Rob Flowers has accounted for more touchdowns than any other player in the American Indoor Football Association, but he's far from pleased with his overall performance.

    Flowers' 3 TD runs, Smith's pick lift Express

    His statistics might look good, but Reading Express quarterback Rob Flowers doesn't like to run for touchdowns too often.

    Flowers would rather use his arm than his legs to put points on the scoreboard. But Saturday night against the lowly Erie River Rats, Flowers was the first to admit he struggled mightily.

    All registrations must now be approved...

    Due to our site recently being hacked i had to spend the better part of a night geting it back up & running again. Therefore, i have disabled all registrations on the Booster Club site. If you would like to be a news contributor contact me at expressfans@dejazzd.com & i will set up up with an account. Otherwise, i will suggest to those of you who want to register to visit the Booster Club message board at www.expressfans.com & register for an account there. I will have to manually approve them which will be done in well under 24 hours. Its a good place to post/discuss the latest Express & AIFA news and to hang out with fellow EXPRESSFANS.

    I aplolgize for any inconvenience but i am just trying to make the site as secure as possible so our members and Express fans can have a reliable & enjoyable experience.

    These changes DO NOT affect Booster Club registrations which can be done by 1st downloading our membership form here: www.expressfans.com/09boosterapp2.pdf . All memberships are a FULL year & expire on your anniversary date and if you renew when it expires you get a $5 dicsount on signup. In addition, you also receive a $5 discount for a referral. If you have any questions about club memberships you can always call me at 1.484.477.2315 or send email to expressfans@dejazzd.com

    I also want to send out a big THANK YOU to all our members for their contributions. The team/players are very appreciative of the extras they get on the road. If anyone would like to contribute anything extra this week you can do so by droping it off at the Express offices anytime Friday or at the team bus, which as i understand, will be leaving from the Holiday Inn in Morgantown around 10-10:30am Saturday morning. I'd suggest non perisihables if you drop stuff off on Friday but otherwise those can be dropped off Saturday morning at the bus. They have a fridge on there to keep things fresh. If you want to drop anything off or even just see the team off as they make their way to DC, i'd suggest you call the express offices to confirm the departure time at 1.610.372.7277.

    For the 4th year in a row the Express are on the verge of clinching their 4th playoff berth. I've noticed the intensity level increasing both on & off the field. Lets keep it up and support our team as they make another run to appear in the AIFA Bowl. I know i say it alot but i'll say it again, We have the best fans in the AIFA. Thanks for ALL you do!

    Go Express!

    Thank You

    Defensive back Sam Bryant has two interceptions as Reading rolls by Harrisburg

    By Brian Rippey
    Reading Eagle

    Something about having his little brother around brings out the best in Sam Bryant.

    With James Bryant back in the Reading Express lineup Sunday night after a tryout with the NFL's Washington Redskins, defensive back Sam Bryant again took center stage.

    Sam Bryant intercepted two passes to help the Reading defense pitch its second shutout of the season in a 44-6 American Indoor Football Association rout of the Harrisburg Stampede before nearly 3,000 fans in the Sovereign Center.
