Have you guys heard about this new online football simulation game called "Goal Line Blitz" that just came out?  It's like having football in the offseason.  It's so addictive.

When you start out you can choose any player you want for any position that you want (QB, RB, DT, OG, CB, DE, LB etc).  You then get to choose your guy's attributes (like strength, agility, vision, confidence, etc) and choose how good he is at certain things.  For example, you can choose to be a pocket passing QB or a mobile QB or a mix of both.  You can be a Power running back or an elusive running back...it's your choice.

My guy is run stuffing DT and his name is "Steel Curtain".

You then get to put your guy up for a bidding war for humans who want your player on your team.  You get to choose your contract, anywhere from 1-3 years that I saw.  Some teams will offer your guy just a little bit and some teams will offer you a lot of money with bonuses.  I had 7 teams fighting over my run stuffing DT, lol.  So I ended up getting a lot of money with bonuses.

When you get the money you can buy equipment to purchase special gloves, shoes, and visors that can make your guy faster, stronger, have better stamina and have better vision.

Then, if your player is good enough, he can be the starter in games for your team and you can see how he performs.  In my run stuffing DT's first game he batted down the ball and got an interception, lol.  Anyway, if you'd like to check it out it's free.

And no I'm not an owner of the game or anything, I just play it.  Let me know who your guy is if you decide to join.

Dude, there are like 50 identical posts in this area - how could we not have heard of it.  I hate the fact this commercialism has intruded in what not very long ago was a very nice discussion area.  I, for one, put a 1-star rating against all such posts to lower the prominence of the people abusing our community.

Who's with me?

I didn't know you already heard of it already, sorry.  For those who may not have heard about it though may like it.  So far it's pretty fun to me.

Fair enough.  It's just that there are several mentions on the first page of the Community.  Get's rather distracting and annoying.  Glad you are enjoying it though - anything that adds to the enjoyment of football is cool by me, as long as people don't get some sort of credit for getting references into the league by way of a bazillion posts, which is what seems to be happening.

That's how their refferal system works, people tell other people about it and they get recognized for it.  This is what my link looks like:

I'm personally not the type of person who goes around depriving others of credit where it's due.  Especially when these same people help me find something free that I end up enjoying a lot anyway. 

Have you tried it out yet?

It is really fun game.  The guys who run this site are great.  I have been on it for one season and am now entering the 2nd.  Wow this has really taken off.  IT wasn't all that big when I joined.  Thinking of starting my own team soon.  Anyone who may want in and will be active, join and send me a PM.

So it's the Amway of Fantasy Football.... Knock it off, jackass. We're all getting pretty sick of these posts.

Then why do you keep clicking on and replying to them?  I don't know about you, but usually when something makes me sick I stay away from it.


Anyway - back on topic - Updates:

My player Steel Curtain is now a level 13 run stopping (and sacking) DT.  He has 1 sack this season in addition to and 7 tackles.

I have a new player named Aaron Campman which is a level 11 DE.  He has 2 sacks and 28 tackles so far this season.


I also have a level 11 CB named Peter "Back off man I'm a scientist" Venkman and he just assumed his first starting role yesterday.  He mostly plays aggressive man to man coverage.  When he's in there, the QBs don't even pass his way!  A true shut down corner.  He doesn't get any INTs though because nobody throws his way, so I've just set him to fool the QB into thinking he's blown the coverage, but instead he will aggressively go for the interception!

Here's the link to my DT Steel Curtain:
