Yesterday, the Philadelphia Soul won ArenaBowl XXII and the AFL championship. (This Phillyist has to constantly remind himself that AFL = Arena Football League, not American Football League, which he wasn't even alive to see before it became part of the NFL.) The Soul beat the defending champs, the San Jose SaberCats, jumping out to a sizeable lead, and then, in true Philadelphia fashion, doing their best to cough it up. But, the Soul managed to hang on, eke out a 59-56 win, and claim their first AFL championship.
