Well, my football league has resolved itself and, like my predecessor in Pittsburgh of the Allen-Bell Football League, I have reached the playoff semi-finals.

My favorite way to play sportsgames, is to play the real game ie park football, bball at the church or employee league baseball( better known as drunken league). I spend little time on PC or concole games and when I do it's blood'n guts type games.
