 Jerald Brown-DS- DestroyersMay. 31 - 9:34 am et
Predators WR/LB Jerrian James was suspended for one game and fined $500 for conduct detrimental to the League for a malicious act against a Philadelphia Soul player in this past weekend’s Divisional playoff game. The suspension will take effect for this Sunday’s National Conference Championship game between Orlando and the Dallas Desperados.
James is lucky he didn't get tossed for the rest of the season. He was flagged for the play but could have easily been ejected. Definately the right move by the League.

 Shane Stafford-QB- StormMay. 15 - 1:01 pm et
Storm QB Shane Stafford will become a free agent heading into next season and according to head coach Tim Marcum's he's not likely to return to the Storm. "Shane has already told me that he is going to go into free agency," Marcum told a Tampa newspaper. "I asked him to bring me a number, I asked him to tell me what he's looking for. He indicated that he was not going to do that. He was going to go into free agency."
Stafford is likely looking for a big pay day after posting back-to-back career seasons in Tampa Bay. The likely candidates for needing a QB include New Orleans (who returns to the league next season), Las Vegas (will have a new coach) and Columbus (probably not satisfied with veteran John Kaleo).
