Possible Ownership Changes for 2010 GGW Season?

BY: GGW Staff

What would you do to become a member of the Gridiron Gurus? Shave Van Kirk's nipples, be Poppy's golf caddie for a round, scrape the blisters off of Cory Pittman's bare feet after a game of hoops, be represented by Anthony Vlahos in a court of law or accept a job as the GGW Commish's right hand man. Many people have dreamed of what it would take and now the opportunity of a spot opening up looks more likely than it ever has before.

Michael Dooley, two-year GGW veteran, expressed a lack of interest this past season and also has not paid his GGW dues yet. The man who knocked out the Aikman's Arsenal in the 2009 Semis may be gone as quickly as he appeared. Coach Dooley was unavailable for comment at this time, but we did take the time to discuss the matter with the Commish.

Q. What are the chances that Michael Dooley will not be a 2010 owner of the GGW?
A. 90% that Dooley is gone. It is still his spot for now, but I think we are getting to the point that the GGW and Michael are both better off going their separate ways.

Q. Who is a likely replacement?
A. I can't give you names, but I can tell you that it will be a great addition to the GGW. We will exhaust all options to find the best owner based on our requirements.

Q. Can you expound on those requirements?
A. Here are three that we will look at right off the bat: 1. Sole league, the GGW is a challenge and an owner needs full attention to succeed. 2. Marketability, will this new owner bring in the ratings for our corporate sponsors, FantasyTrophies.com, etc. 3. Challenger, what does the owner bring to the table as far as success in the league?

Q. Dooley's team is pretty solid, that has to help find an owner?
A. First off, the GGW will not have any trouble finding a reputable owner. However, this team is a championship contender with any owner with a pulse. Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan and Matt Stafford is easily the best QB combo in the league. In fact, my guess is there are several owners who would gladly trade their teams for this one. No, that is not an option.

Q. Can you comment on the rumor that Anthony Vlahos may not be returning either?
A. No. I refuse to comment on outlandish owners who think they are above the GGW.

Q. When do you expect an official announcement to take place?
A. We will need to start wrapping up the schedule by early June. We have to have answers ready for our corporate sponsors by the start of July. Obviously, we will have no issues retaining sponsors when you have the class of the league (Aikman's Arsenal) at the top of its game; however, we do need to show them that we have a twelfth franchise capable of contending.
