Saturday and Sunday mark
the first round of interviews for the recently vacated manager position in
The Franchise. We caught up with Commissioner Russ Travers to get a
progress report. “We
know there
are deadlines coming soon but we won’t be rushing to any decisions here.”
Travers went on to say that the keeper deadline could be pushed back a few days
if a decision is not made by Friday March 15th.
An undisclosed source has let on
that three candidates have stood out above the rest; commissioner’s brother
Richie Travers, Franchise football league member Eric Rose, and a mystery contender
who seems to be creating quite a buzz.
“I’m excited about the opportunity
to join another respected league. My brother never shuts up
about this one so it must be a pretty decent league” Richie said in an
interview yesterday. He is a current member of the Diamond Dynasty, another Westwood based fantasy baseball league going on its ninth season. While he
can’t be present for the live draft, he would quickly become the most
experienced manager in the league.
Eric Rose is the commissioner of his
own fantasy baseball league, a quality which may appeal to seven-time league Commissioner
Travers. He is also familiar with The Franchise already, having managed in The Franchise
football league for the last two season, both times finishing in 6th
place.
According to reports the third
candidate sought out Travers to ask for the position late last night. The
commissioner could not be reached for comment because he was on a date with a
girl and totally got laid.
