It’s Never Quiet in the NFL
February 7th, 2008 | by aaron |Every year when the NFL season ends I usually go through some sort of denial, followed by disbelief, to understanding, then finally some sort of acceptance. When May or June rolls around I become impatient, restlessness, and finally I begin feeling a low-level excitement when August approaches. (I truly don’t know how I survive year after year). During the month of August somehow I manage to repeat all seven stages in a 30 day period of time and live to tell about it when the season starts. It happens every year and unfortunately I have absolutely no control over my feelings. The simple fact is-I love football and cannot find anything else in this world to fill the void.
Luckily while googling the NFL I ran across a simulation league which allows owners to draft any defense, offensive line, skill positions, and everything in between. What makes this cool is you can take players from the beginning of the NFL all the way to this past 2007/2008 season.
Of course there is a level of strategy that owners must employ to remain competitive throughout the season. Do you want a run oriented offense? Pass oriented offense? How about a defensive juggernaut such as the 2000 Bucs? If you like to run the ball (like I do), how about the 1963 Cleveland Browns offensive line with Eric Dickerson’s 1983 season and Wilbert Montgomery (1977) as his backup? Where would you like to call home? Is it Lambeau, the old torn down Cleveland Municiple? How about good ole’ Candlestick Park?
Whatever the case, I’m pumped and cannot wait until this season begins (It starts as soon as it’s full). “It’s never quiet in the NFL”.
Come play or just check it out.
