The Digital XFL
A few years ago I found myself on a plane to my Navy reserve duty and cracked open one of my many football books. Being an uber football nerd from the 1970s I have always loved playing computer football games; however, unless I was playing against someone in the same room, be it on an Odyssey 2, Game Cube, or Play Station. Sadly, my childhood only saw one instance of me playing a table top football simulation in 1980, that being Sport's Illustrated "Paydirt." Now mind you, I am involved in fantasy football every year usually, including this year when I got invited into my office's league [very disappointing season for me]. However, as I read Ted Kluck's wonderful book, Past Time , I knew I was really missing out on something special, that being a member of a simulation football league. In essence, I had been missing out on being a member of not just a league, but a group of people that, like me, love the professional football of yesteryear. As stated at Booksho
