Tryshyn / Ardees Deal Worth 3.1 Billion

MID-RIM NODE — Grav-ball’s highest scorer in history has just signed the most lucrative product endorsement deal in sports history. Ardees Beverage Company announced today a partnership with mega-star Deme Tryshyn for three standard years worth a reported 3.1 billion credits.
“Tryshyn exemplifies the level of excellence that’s synonymous with Ardees”, said Vice-President of Marketing for Ardees, Mij Rawd. “They’re both the undisputed greatest.”

Rawd denies that the Tryshyn endorsement is a defensive measure against the popular campaign from rival Lopez Drinks featuring musical artist Gaeriel Capens. “The attention to Capens is going to be short-lived,” claims Rawd. “If you’re not a humanoid, she’s not much to look at. But grav-ball’s never been more popular and Deme Tryshyn is the real deal. It doesn’t matter if a kid has one limb or seven, they probably have Tryshyn’s picture projecting on their sleeping quarters wall.”

“I love Ardees. I drink it all the time,” smiled Tryshyn. “It’s a natural fit.”

Tryshyn, formerly outspoken against the commercialization of grav-ball, has signed several lucrative endorsement deals in recent cycles including Keenigh Footwear, Herzfall Communications and Telgorn Power Cells. Tryshyn’s agent denies any connection to his summons by the Republic Tax Collection Agency following last year’s Grav-Vessel championship.

Tryshyn is currently scoreless in the first three matches of the season.
