Chris Williams established himself as one of the most exciting players in the CFL last season, scoring 17 touchdowns with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats - six of them on returns - en route to becoming the CFLs Most Outstanding Special Teams player. However, two weeks ago, Williams representative went to arbitration to try and have him released from his CFL contract, presumably so he can take his shot at the NFL this summer. It is believed the basis of Williams complaint is that he was not made fully aware of the conditions pertaining to his contract, which he signed before the 2011 season. And that because an unregistered agent negotiated that deal, the final year of Williams contract should be ruled invalid. The arbitrator has not yet ruled on the matter but the buzz around the CFL is that Williams is unlikely to report to Hamilton, even if he loses his case, and that he may very well sit out the season and pursue the NFL in January. Thats not an ideal situation for him or the CFL, but at this stage it may be unavoidable. It will certainly provide another layer of debate over whether the CFL needs to reinstate its former policy of allowing players to audition with NFL teams during the off-season before heading into the final years of their contacts.

United snapped a club-record 13-game winless streak with their first victory since March 9, beating the San Jose Earthquakes 1-0 Saturday night. San Jose (4-7-6) was shut out for the third time in four games and has failed to score in each of its seven losses this season. "Its been brutal," United coach Ben Olsen said of the winless streak. "Its been brutal for the staff and the players. Its been brutal for the organization and its been brutal for our fans." Pontius echoed Olsens sentiment about the teams run of futility. "Awful, terrible," he said. "It tests you off the field as well, mentally. Its not something that any of us want to be in this position." For the second straight week D.C. United (2-11-3) was able to take an early lead thanks to a kick from the spot. United captain John Thorrington rewarded defender Chris Korbs run down the right side of the field into the penalty box with a perfectly weighted ball. Korb was immediately fouled by Earthquakes defender Justin Morrow. Pontius, who started the initial sequence with a pass to Thorrington, made no doubts about his first goal of the season by blasting it right as San Jose goalie Jon Busch guessed left. "I felt like I actually got into a groove this game," Pontius said. Its a bit of pressure off my back now." Despite finally earning all three points, the United players know the job isnt over especially withh the league cup on the horizon next week.dddddddddddd "Our goals in the beginning of the season werent to win two games in MLS," Thorrington said. "So hopefully this is just a stepping stone." After failing to earn a penalty kick through the first 14 games of the season, D.C. United has taken one in successive games. San Joses best chance of the night came in the 61st minute when midfielder Shea Salinas found space behind Daniel Woolard and Conor Shanosky just outside the 6-yard box before firing a left footed shot right at goalie Bill Hamid, who made the point-blank save. Salinas kept the pressure coming two minutes later with another attempt from inside the penalty area, this time having his shot blocked by defender Alain Rochat. San Jose kept pressing in the second half and nearly scored again as forward Adam Jahn got free inside the box and rifled a left-footed shot that beat Hamid only to go off the left goal post and out of bounds. Hamid saved three shots on the night in earning his fourth shutout of the season. "The confidence has always been high, we know we have the talent," Hamid said. "Its just finding the final touch, thats all its been." Reigning Major League Soccer MVP Chris Wondolowski, who leads San Jose with five goals this season and is tied for the team lead with three assists, did not make the trip east after injuring his right foot in training this week. There is no timetable on his return as the club will re-evaluate him. ' ' '
