Former Brigade DS is going to Disneyworld...

Former Brigade defensive specialist Chris Pointer has been signed as a free agent by the Orlando Predators, according to the Predators' official website.

Although Pointer's solid play clearly wasn't enough to vault Kansas City into the Arena Bowl last year, Orlando thinks he can certainly help them on the defensive side of the ball.

The article about Pointer is, expectedly, very positive about the DS and his future in Florida. It also provides a nice encapsulation of his professional football career:

"
A veteran entering his fifth season, Pointer started all 16 games for the Brigade last year – recording a career-high 74 tackles with one interception and 10 pass defenses. For his AFL career, he has 219 career tackles with 38 pass defenses and three interceptions – playing for the Brigade, New Orleans VooDoo and New Jersey Gladiators."
