FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mike Silverman ’10 Replaces “Don’t Call Me Gurley” Owner Alex Birsh

Silverman Renames Team “DAAAA Jew”

BEACON FALLS, Conn. – The Bobcats4Ever Fantasy Football League has announced that Mike Silverman will join the league as a team owner and general manager for the 2018 season, replacing Alex Birsh, who joined the league in its inaugural season in 2013. Silverman will inherit the Don’t Call Me Gurley franchise and has already renamed it DAAAA Jew.

“I can’t believe it took you all this long to remember I exist,” said Silverman. “Shoutout to Birsh stepping aside.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Mike Silverman to the Bobcats4Ever Fantasy Football League,” Commissioner Kyle Brennan said. “Silverman possesses sports acumen that will raise the competitive level of our league. And while his beloved Chicago Bears give him little to root for, we think his new ownership position in our league will finally give him reason to pay attention to pro football on Sundays for the first time in several years.”

Birsh exits the league following five years as a team owner and general manager. Birsh compiled a 19-46 (.292) overall record as owner and general manager of the Ask Jeeves?/Hit Schticks/Leapin’ Chancellors/Don’t Call Me Gurley franchise, but concluded his tenure with a career-best 8-5-0 record in 2017, before ultimately falling to Fear Boners in the league quarterfinals.

“Silverman’s location in Chicago was a major selling point for our league office to consider during this process,” Brennan added. “Our league is already well-established in the major Northeast media markets of New York and Boston, and this is an exciting time as we break into another major market in the Midwest.”

Bold Cold Brew Crew is the defending Bobcats4Ever champion, defeating You’ve Been Chopped by a score of 146.38-141.34 in the 2017 championship to earn its first-ever league title.
