"Superman" has landed!

I would have blogged about this on Friday but I was out of town the entire weekend.

Earlier this summer, Pittsburgh had some Batman sightings, as the new blockbuster movie filmed scenes here.

The Pittsburgh Power announcer a blockbuster addition of their own.  The reigning 2011 JLS Ironman of the Year, P.J. Berry has been assigned to the Pittsburgh Power. 

If you are looking for one of the most dynamic players in the AFL today, a kick returner and wide receiver who can change a game on a dime, you'll be able to cheer for one this upcoming season.

Berry, who is nicknamed "Superman", set a new AFL record last year with 3,708 all purpose yards.  He also factored in on 41 touchdowns, five in the return game.  He was named a first team All-Arena member at kick returner.

He instantly upgrades the Power both in the receiving corps and the kick return game. 

It's going to be very difficult for opposing defenses to contain Berry, Mike "Joystick" Washington, and Lonnell DeWalt.  Not to mention if the Power bring in another big time receiver. 

If you watched the Power take on the New Orleans VooDoo last year, you would have seen Berry torch the Power secondary for 9 catches, 91 yards, and 2 TD's, plus 151 return yards and a return touchdown.

This is the kind of player, as is Mike Washington, that can create a buzz in the Steel City.  The fact that the Power got them both is huge. 

Expect some big things from this duo, especially with former Arena Bowl MVP Kyle Rowley in the fold at quarterback.
