Titans to Fold
(Photo Credit: NLL.com)
It's always a sad day when a franchise folds, but it's hard to say I didn't expect it. Today the Orlando Titans folded. I am not surprised because I attended an Orlando Titans playoff game this season only to a crowd of 4,000 maybe. Right then I knew the NLL would not survive in Florida.
It is unclear whether it is a full fold for the Titans, or if they are just going to sit out the season. It is known, however, that the Titans will hold a dispersal draft Friday, with Casey Powell likely to be selected by the Colorado Mammoth or Philadelphia Wings.
Players such as Jordon Hall, Pat Merrill, Rory Smith, and Pat Maddalena are looking to terminate their contracts with the Titans franchise.
There has been speculation of the Titans franchise stability all week now, and we finally know.

Smith Hearing Expected Thursday

Rory Smith, defender for the Orlando Titans and league penalty minutes leader, is set for an arbitration hearing with the NLL tomorrow. Smith had a controversial hit on the Calgary Roughnecks Tracey Kelusky, who led the NLL in scoring at the time. The hit has been much debated, and many feel like it was both high and late.
Kelusky has missed the last three Roughnecks games with concussion like symptoms. Kelusky received a five minute major for the hit, and a game misconduct was tacked on after.
It is Smith's fourth misconduct of the season. Smith has already received a suspension for the hit, for four misconducts results in an automatic.
Smith is on pace to break the all-time penalty minutes mark (96), and break Geoff Snider's record of 103.
