Just a few Arena Football (AFL) updates:
Patrick Stoudamire, DB - Iowa Barnstormers
J.J. Payne, FB - Kansas City Command
Taylor Rowan, K - Spokane Shock
And I think most of us are probably already aware of Russ Michna, QB - Chicago Rush

Arena League News:

I didn't mention him the last post, since he's not actually listed on their current roster online, but it looks like Reggie Gray is still playing for the Chicago Rush (along with Michna), since they both had great games on Monday: MICHNA LEADS RUSH TO VICTORY AGAINST MUSTANGS
Michna had 240 yards passing with 7 TD
Gray had 98 yards receiving with 3 TD
The Rush play their next game 3/17 at home vs Philadelphia

Iowa Barnstormers (Patrick Stoudamire) play their first game 3/19 at Pittsburgh

Kansas City Command lost their first game to Dallas, J.J. Payne is listed on their roster, but either did not play, or didn't participate enough to be listed on the game stat sheet. They play their next game 3/18 at San Jose.

Spokane Shock lost their first game vs San Jose. Taylor Rowan went 6-6 on PAT's, averaged 47.4 yards on 5 kickoffs, and did not have any FG attempts. Their next game is 3/19 vs Cleveland.

That's awesome, I was thinking they probably would, since the only reason he didn't play as much last season was due to injury. They're one of the best QB-WR combos in the AFL.
