Started my new site, so it deserved a new thread. I needed an ongoing hobby as opposed to the one off league. (Part of the recovering from severe depression thing, something to focus on). With a few new additions to my collection, I'm expanding what I'm doing so I'll be jumping around a bit between leagues to keep it fresh.

First, I have started a web/blog site on wordpress, which I find infinitely better than google.

Stats Pro Leagues: NBA and NFL | NBA and NFL Statis Pro Leagues (http://statisproleagues.wordpress.com)

I'm working on two leagues at the moment. Both are ongoing and will eventually have drafts when the new season starts.

1979-80 NBA Season

1980 NFL Season

I picked the NFL season because it was Statis Pro's first release of cards. I will eventually have to make my own, but that's way, way down the line.

The NBA season fits will with my NFL start, plus it's the beginning of what many feel is the modern era of the NBA (3pt line, Magic & Bird are rookies).

Eventually, other sports games may be added on there to discuss. I really like what I saw in Second Season Football.

First game of the 1980 NFL season is on the site: Houston dominated Pittsburgh 23-3 behind Earl Campbell's 179 yards

3 games are over in the 1979-80 NBA season, with Boston, Detroit, and Atlanta posting wins.

Bowl Bound and Paydirt have been added to the site. Bowl Bound will be played World Cup style.

Got 2 games in over break…4 games from 1980 NFL week one are now done including an impressive comeback by the Jets. Switching back to NBA games for a bit now, next up, Bucks @ Kings…battle of the two favorites in the Midwest Division.

I voted for 1980, hoping the Aints find ways to be the Saints in your replay. :D

I like the extra immersion. Good work.

Hey thanks for the look. I realize that I am being way too ambitious with my replay of an NBA and NFL league….so I've typed out an idea for a relegation style replay. Would love to hear your alls thoughts on it. And, yes, I'll be sticking with the 1980 start years. It's what I grew up with and it's a good starting point for both leagues. Thanks.

Good stuff, miss those old board games, especially Paydirt.
