Press release: Merchantmen deny "Life with Louie" real life soap
The Maassluis Merchantmen management want to strongly deny the rumors of the recent selected quarterback Louie Flannery being involved with television program plans surrounding him. The team wants to make clear that Flannery will go to Maassluis to lead the Merchantmen offense and win games.

As Flannery was selected, Big Brother inventor John de Mol contacted the Merchantmen to ask for a real life soap around Louie Flannery. The Merchantmen management immediately said no to any real life soap programs surrounding the team. De Mol clearly wants to spread his media imperium across the Atlantic Ocean to conquer the USA with the IHOF influence.

General manager M.IJ.B. is clear on the issue: "We as a management team think that 'Life with Louie' could be an interesting television show for the big market, but personally I'm not interested in putting the team upside down with a media circus. Otherwise we wouldn't have traded a guy like Mark Burger and had acquired quarterbacks to replace Justin McDavid, which is what Flannery is here for."

Additionally, the Merchantmen want to strongly deny the rumors that the team is still looking for ways to improve the team. M.IJ.B. "We're pretty much set. Perhaps the much desired mentor quarterback could be interesting, but with Mel Atkins likely to make the roster as expert holder, we don't have a third quarterback spot open. It should be clear that Flannery and Shane Bower are the guys battling it out for the most important job on this team."
