I loved it but the problem was that none of my close friends really liked playing it.  So I played games by myself.  I would pick the offensive play and then shuffle and blind draw a defense.  I kept stats and would play a 14 game season with an 8 team league (56 games) followed by a 4 team playoff.  I had certain teams that ran the ball more, and some teams that threw all the time.

That's the saddest thing I've ever read.
