Hey, look, a post!

Yes, I do that occasionally. This one will even have some content!

I love me my football. I love me my CFL, too. Don't ask why. It's just the way I am.

I'm just going to spend a second bitching about the Bombers, and why they don't sign a kicker that, I dunno, doesn't miss three extra points, causing his team to lose to highly rated LSU by a point in Louisiana. Yes, I know he's gotten better since then. Still, I'll never be able to shake the fact that he once was so shaken, he ended up doing that.

Tonight, he missed a 48 yarder in one of the toughest stadiums in the CFL, and the Bombers lost by two. Not an easy kick to make, by any means. And yet, I had no faith whatsoever that he'd make it. None. He's also taking up an import slot, which in the CFL, means that he's non-Canadian. Imports are a little over half the roster. Filling the spot with a Canadian gives the Bombers more flexibility on signing another American, for any position anywhere.

Eh, who am I kidding? They'll stick it out with him until it becomes well too late to matter.

No idea why.....

We've never considered Front Office Football for a sim for our BSB leagues. It's good stuff, and it has a college version too (although it's mostly about recruiting and player management, from what I can tell). I own FOF 2004 (although 2007 is the newest version, and the only one easily available for purchase) and the college version (The College Years), and they can interact with each other, with draft classes from college going to the pros. It's very deep, and quite fun. 

The downside is that the leagues are fixed at a certain number of teams, that being 32. That said, the AI seems to be decent, so open teams wouldn't kill us. It's something to chew on the off-chance that the new software doesn't make it off the drawing board (although I have the ultimate faith that it will).
