DOWN GOES DALLAS!

Final score, Columbus 66, Dallas 59. Who in their right mind would have seen that coming?

The biggest stat line: Dallas committed four turnovers to Columbus's one. That includes the two Pete Martinez kickoffs off the iron that resulted in a 14-point Destroyers swing.

Columbus will travel to either Philadelphia or Georgia next Saturday, with the winner of that game heading to New Orleans.

Who would have thought? Columbus hit a huge slide to end the regular season, so the Destroyers are bucking the "best momentum wins" trend.

And the Desperados? Come on now! Second straight year they get the number-one seed and bow out in its first playoff game.

Does Will McClay keep his job? I'm sure Jerry Jones isn't standing in the arena with an axe...
