Breakdown of Games
- Pre-Strike Game — Miami Barracudas versus Washington Sentinels: Sentinels QB Eddie Martel could have run in for the winning score at the last second, but opted for sliding down before the goal line to avoid possibly getting hurt.
- Game 1 — Detroit Ironmen versus Washington Sentinels: The Sentinels lose 14–10 after Falco disregards the play Coach McGinty calls in. Instead of a pass, he audibles to Cochran, because of his history of losing important games. Cochran then gets tackled at the one yard line.
- Game 2 — San Diego Stallions versus Washington Sentinels: Sentinels win 17–16, with a little help from some quite distracting cheerleader dancing and a last second FG by Gruff. The team begins to develop chemistry on the field.
- Game 3 — Washington Sentinels at Phoenix Scorpions: Washington's only road game. Sentinels win 22–21 by sheer luck... and a little stickum.
- Game 4 — Dallas Ropers versus Washington Sentinels: The entire Dallas roster crossed the picket line so the replacement Sentinels have to play a team of full-time professionals. Sentinels win 20–17, coming back from a halftime score of 17–0, Dallas. Winning this game ensures that the Sentinels will have a slot in the playoffs.

“... what’s been building since the 1980’s is a new kind of social Darwinism that blames poverty and crime and the crisis of our youth on a breakdown of the family. That’s what will last after this flurry on family values.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
“A bad liver is to a Frenchman what a nervous breakdown is to an American. Everyone has had one and everyone wants to talk about it.”
—Art Buchwald (b. 1925)
“Criticism occupies the lowest place in the literary hierarchy: as regards form, almost always; and as regards moral value, incontestably. It comes after rhyming games and acrostics, which at least require a certain inventiveness.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
