I'm definitely in!  I could not count how many times I've played this game!  I actually already have the disks out as I was playing this about 6 weeks ago.  It is one of the best Amiga sports games I've seen.  There is one really nasty bug though that I'll mention later.  It has to do with the 'On-side Kick'.

I always wondered if this game could be rewritten to accept a 'data disk' that could be released every year to reflect previous year's team stats.  That would have been really cool.  Or it seems that one might be able to edit the data on the disks with an editor to tweak team strengths and weaknesses.

One thing that always impressed me about this game and a few others is the statement 'Extra Memory Detected' when you boot the game and it detects a full one-meg of RAM available.  The graphic displayed is usually pretty cool as well.
