WR/DB Willis Marshall of the Dallas Desperados was arrested January 3rd by the Oakland Police Department according to the Detroit Free Press. He is free on $5,000 bond and is not yet scheduled to appear. Marshall's status for the 2008 AFL season is still up in the air. He is accused of failing to pay child support.

According to the sheriff’s office, a warrant was issued for Marshall, 32, because he owes more than $100,000 in child support.

Marshall was arrested at his parents' home in Southfield after investigators received a tip that he was visiting from his home in Colorado. According to the sheriff’s office, investigators went to the home and were told Marshall was not there, even though he had been seen in the house. Investigators spoke with Marshall, who denied who he was, slammed the door and ran out of house through another door, dashing through the snow wearing only light clothing and socks, police said.

Not mine, but those of Topeka Citizen-Journal local sports reporter David Streeter:

ArenaBowl XXII (7/28/2008): Chicago Rush over Dallas Desperados
Two of the best teams in Arena Football will face each other in the ArenaBowl. The Chicago Rush, who made plenty of key offseason moves, capture their second ArenaBowl.

I haven't yet settled on who I expect to see in the Arena Bowl. Chicago is an easy pick with the off-season signings, but the league is stronger than ever this year, so anything could happen before this year's AFL championship.
