The Fake American Football League

For the past 10 years, I have been playing football games with my toys as a hobby.

This year...I hit the big leagues...literally! This season, I did a "mock NFL" with 32 teams in cities (NY technically had 1 team, LA had 1, and New Orleans' team was HQ'ed in San Antonio)
