(Thanksgiving)  Friday or Saturday I'm going to play a 10 minute per quarter game and post observations here.  Anyone want to pick the teams who will play - or pick whether the game is inside or outside and what weather conditions are present.  I *think* you can choose a day or night game as well...

The Vikings are pretty good in this game.  I do remember some teams that - no matter how hard I tried - they didn't seem to be able to do very well.  Then again, I typically played with a friend that somehow excelled in EVERY football game we played - from the ancient Atari 2600 to 'Fourth and Inches' on the Commodore 64, to of course John Madden on both the Amiga and future gaming consoles.  He just seemed to have a knack for electronic football.  Almost undefeatable, at least to me.  He loved football.

I didn't get a chance to play last weekend but am going to try again Saturday.  If I succeed, I'll post my results here.  I have terrible time-management skills!  :-)
