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. Two fourth-quarter turnovers did the trick as I scored a 45-31 win over a Dallas team led by Tony Romo.My basketball leagues are going fairly well. I'm in two retro leagues and a current-day one, all with Action! PC Basketball.  Just before the season in the retro Chuck taylor League, I traded Spencer Haywood straight-up for "Sweet" Lou Hudson, and oddly enough the result is that my Portland team, which was…

Sometimes stumpbling around the Net looking for stuff can come in handy. In this case I was able to find, plunk down the money for, and download the 2007 edition of Action PC Basketball, one of three sports simulation titles for Windows available from Dave Koch Sports.

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.
