McGill signs contract extension
Two weeks ago, Storm coach Tim Marcum said if the team had a midseason MVP it would be noseguard Tim McGill. Apparently, that wasn't coach speak.
On Monday, the team announced it has re-signed McGill through 2010.
“Tim has been a big bright spot this season on the defensive line," Marcum said in a release. “He gives us a big push in the middle and anchors our defensive line.”
McGill (6-foot-3, 310-pounds) is a second-year Storm player. He previously spent time in the NFL. McGill leads the Storm with four sacks after tying for the team lead in 2007 with five.
“I really like Tampa and the coaching staff,” McGill said. “It feels good to sign this deal. It gives me some stability.”

He is doing a great job.......When he isnt off sides. I lost count how many flags he has piled up this season.
Just my 2 cents. Whats up with the play calling coach? I have been going to Storm games since they wore paint splattered pants here in St. Pete. I would love to see coach Marcun bow out gracefully. Thanks for all the great years and arena bowls. Its time for a change!
