Predators sign David Cool, add two others
ORLANDO, Fla. (March 16, 2002) -- The Orlando Predators announced on Friday that it has signed free agent kicker David Cool to a new one-year pact. Cool had an outstanding season with the Predators last year, scoring a career-high 131 points. He was a solid 20 of 38 on field goal attempts (52.6%) and hit 71 of 76 extra points.
Cool’s 427 career kicking points ranks second on the Predators all-time scoring list and his 49.6 career field goal percentage ranks second on the Arena Football League’s all-time list. Cool was one of the heroes of the ArenaBowl XIV, as his 19-yard field goal on the final play of the game broke a 38-38 tie with Nashville and gave the Predators their second AFL championship.
In addition to re-signing Cool, the Predators added rookie free agents wide receiver/kick returner Antonio Stanley and also re-signed offensive/defensive lineman Fred Ray . Stanley lettered three years at Bethune-Cookman College, where he accumulated 3,234 all-purpose yards and scored 15 touchdowns. He went to training camp with the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars last year.
Ray, an Orlando native, earned an invitation to training camp after walking on at the team’s annual free agent tryout camp in 2000. He earned a roster spot and after spending one season as a seldom-used backup, earned the starting center’s job in 2001.
The Predators open training camp on March 25 and play their first pre-season game at Indiana on April 6.

I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.
