By "Mark Waterman"

Pre-Season 2149 (Philadelphia) - The USAFL Commissioner, Andrew Lewis, held an impromtu press conference at the #1 hole of his bi-annual 'USAFL Is For Kids' Charity Golf Outing, announcing the new appointment of Buffalo Bills' GM Mark Ricotta as the league newest commissioner.

'Its long been known that Mr. Ricotta has been the behind-the-scenes-backbone of this league,' expressed Lewis, 'and this appointment is long over due.'

'Ricotta will continue his duties as SWA Director, in fact, it will now become a commissioner post. He will no longer have annual voting privileges with the SWA - in order to maintain a fair bias with the SWA results by not allowing any commissioners to participate, but he will now hold the tie-breaker responsibility. A position long-held by yours truly.'

'I know all of us in the USAFL look forward to Ricotta's involvement in the upper levels of league issues and I for one am relieved to have yet another over-qualified expert to help me look so good to all you reporters.'
