Alright, I've got 3 teams left to do, so we'll either start this weekend, or next weekend. And I think for the first year, it just creates a roster for each team. However, I can edit those rosters. So, if you want a player that you enjoy or what ever, feel free to PM me. I won't make them insane superstars, but I'll try to make them like they would be in their prime. Unless they're movie characters like Ray Finkle. Then, that might take a little imagination.

* The official theme starts to play, as the announcer says, "This is the WFL on WBC." We cut to a room with a man sitting in the chair.* "Good evening, sports fans, and welcome to the Wrestlecrap Football League. This is Howard Cosell reporting to you live from the WFL Studios in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We are only days away from the first week of the new WFL season, and the tempers are already flaring. The Icestorm of Stockholm will journey across the pond for the first time and take on the Fighting Pike of Grand Rapids, Michigan. It may be a long trip, but the Icestorm are looking to start the long road to a possible World Championship. The Athens Eagles are also making a trip over the waters, but they are heading even farther north in the great wilderness of Canada, where they will face the Manitoba Mavericks. Then, the Allentown Ambassadors are looking to keep their sanity as they are visited by the........um.........uh............I'm not sure how to say this team's name. Fortunately, I've been told that I can call them, Team Delirious. TD is looking to play mind games early on, and the Ambassadors may be the first victims. In what is possibly the shortest trip, it's still one of the fiercest rivalries in the league. In what is called "The I-29 Shootout," the Lincoln Lightning will travel to Sioux Falls to take on the Outlaws. In what is possibly the longest trip in week 1, the Red Dragons of Swansea will travel to the rainy regions of Portland, Oregon, to take on the Settlers. Then, after weeks of controversy, more so than the 1997 Survivor Series, the Calgary Comets will travel to the land of the rising sun..." *Someone whispers to Cosell offstage* "Yes, I know it's not Japan, but close enough, you ungrateful, college intern prick!! Calgary will travel to face the Beijing Bandits. The Mountaineers of Seattle will travel to face their neighbors of the north when they battle the Vancouver Vampires. Then, in what is probably one of the greatest rivalries in other sports, New York will travel to Indianapolis when the Stars take on the Injuns. Later on, we will be joined by former football legends, but only after we choose who to pick. This is Howard Cosell saying so long for now!"

You know, that music made reading the Howard Cosell stuff that much more entertaining. Although I couldn't think of anything witty and "in-character" to say about it.

I remember Diamond P Sports had a version of this in the background of Kings of the Sport: Top Fuel video, and I heard it again, and it gives me goosebumps.

* The official theme starts to play. Then, we hear the voice say once again, "This is the WFL on WBC."* Good evening, Sports fans, and welcome to the WFL on WBC. This is Howard Cosell, and I'm joined this week by ESPN's own Chris Berman. Chris, the WFL season has kicked off.Indeed it has, Howard, let's get to the highlights!*As the screen changes to the games, this begins to play in the background.* First up, Grand Rapids vs. Stockholm. The trip must've been rough for the Icestorm, because the Fighting Pike came out and walked all over them! 130 yards rushing, 256 yards passing for Grand Rapids on the way to a 36-7 victory over Stockholm!It truly was a one-sided affair, Chris, as Grand Rapids sacked the Icestorm 3 times and forced 2 turnovers!Moving over to Winnipeg, Manitoba, as the Manitoba Mavericks face the Athens Eagles. The Eagles came out fired up, going right after Manitoba, out-gaining the Mavericks 303 to 220, in a 28-7 win.Once again, turnovers were the factor, as Manitoba turned the ball over twice against the Eagles, even though they were able to get 2 sacks to Athens' one.Now, onto Allentown. And like you predicted before, Howard, Team Delirious wasted no time playing their mind games early on against the Ambassadors, jumping out to an early 21-0 lead. But Allentown wasn't going down that easily, coming back to be down by 10. But it wasn't enough, as Team Delirious took the win, 21-11.Allentown surprised Team Delirious by passing for 259 yards to TD's 113, but were limited to only 40 yards of rushing to Delirious' 238 yards. Also, Allentown's QB was sacked 5 times, once again showing the importance of pass protection.
Heading up to Sioux Falls, the I-29 Shootout was anything but a shootout, as the Lincoln Lightning defeated the Sioux Falls Outlaws, 11-0. In a game that Lincoln dominated the running game, the Outlaws were held to only 5 yards of rushing the whole game.That's gonna be a tough loss to swallow. Fortunately, it's only week 1, so they have plenty of time to rebound. Swansea came all the way over from the land of Wales to battle in the rainy, gloomy depths of Oregon against the Portland Settlers, and boy, was Portland outlcassed here. Their QB was sacked for a week-high 6 sacks, as the Red Dragons came away with a victory 22-8.The next battle featured the Calgary Comets traveling across the Pacific to battle the Bandits of Beijing, China. The Comets showed no problem, as they rushed for 206 yards and sacked the Bandits' QB 4 times in a 28-8 victory.Then, it was a Northern Exposure, as the Seattle Moutaineers took on the Vampires of Vancouver. The yard battle was nearly identical, with Vancouver taking it 312 to 289. But the sacks and turnovers were the killer for Vancouver, as Seattle dominated, 32-0.It just was not their game, Chris, as they weren't able to capitalize when they should've. Otherwise, it would've been a much closer game.
The final game for week 1 was a battle of city rivals, as the Indiana Injuns hosted the New York Stars. For the numerous high intensity match-ups in week 1, this one was not one of them. Both teams had a little over 140 passing yards, and neither one seemed ready for it, as there were multiple sacks and turnovers. Indiana was the one to walk away from this train-wreck with a win, downing the New York Stars 11-4.
And that'll do it for week 1 of the Wrestlecrap Football League! For Chris Berman, this is Howard Cosell saying Good Night!

Jeez, both of my teams combine to score 14 points and give up 64 points. Hopefully Stockholm and Manitoba can get back on the ball (no pun intended) during week 2.

We're having drafts after each year. I just let the computer sim the first year as it would've taken forever, since everything needed to be ready to go.

* The official theme begins to play, as the voiceover proclaims, "This is the WFL on WBC."* Good evening, sports fans, and welcome to the preview for week 2 of the Wrestlecrap Football League. This is Howard Cosell, bringing you all the matchups for this Labor Day Weekend. First off, coming off a huge victory at home, the Fighting Pike of Grand Rapids will host once again, as the Allentown Ambassadors come to town. Will the Ambassadors pull out a win, and make it 1-1, or will Grand Rapids continue its early dominance? Then, the New York Stars will travel to Seattle to face the Moutaineers. After last week's snorefest, the Stars should be looking to light up Seattle. If not, this could be another pushover win for Seattle. After a week one stompdown in Beijing, the Calgary Comets come back to Canada to face off against the Indiana Injuns. The Injuns were the other team of that snorefest, so they better be ready for the Comets. After a defensive dominating performance last week, the Swansea Red Dragons will host their first game in the land of Wales. Who comes to town, but the Vancouver Vampires. If the Vampires don't stop the Red Dragons better than Portland, this could be ugly. And speaking of the Portland Settlers, they travel to the Edge of Sanity, taking on Team Delirious. Portland needs to protect their quarterback better this week if they want a win here. Beijing didn't fare too well in their homeland. Well, this week, they travel to the heartland of America, the Midwest, to take on the Lincoln Lightning. Sioux Falls is looking for answers after their 11-0 loss last week, and they may find them in Greece, as they travel to take on the Athens Eagles. For the final game of the week, the Manitoba Mavericks travel to Stockholm, Sweden, to take on the Icestorm. Both teams here are looking for their first win, and it's just a question of who wants it more?

A quick bit of news breaking early this morning, after the post-game events of the Boise State-Oregon football game in Boise, Idaho this past evening, the Settlers have seemingly reached a verbal contract with Ducks RB LeGarrette Blount, pending whether he is thrown off the Oregon Ducks or not.
Settlers director of marketing Bill Walton, when asked for comment, had this to say, via a phone interview: "Truly a magnificent talent this young flower of a man has. He's got the competitive spirit of Gheorge Muresan, combined with the will of a warrior not since since the glory days of Lennox Lewis! Truly a testament to the power of mankind!"
The sounds of coughing, choking, and lighters being ignited were able to be audibly heard in the back of the phone call, as it seemed Walton was celebrating the victory of a Northwest team.

* The official theme plays, as the voiceover proclaims, "This is the WFL on WBC!"* Good afternoon, sports fans, and welcome to the Wrestlecrap Football League. This is Howard Cosell, and this week, I am joined by a legend of both football and baseball, the great Bo Jackson!Let's get to all the action, Howard!Indeed we shall, Bo!*Highlights of each game starts as this theme plays in the background.* First up, Allentown at Grand Rapids! The Ambassadors started off sluggish, giving the Pike two early scores off of turnovers. The Fighting Pike were led by their running back Weishaar, who rushed 21 times for 152 yards, and 2 touchdowns. Allentown tried to make it close, but Grand Rapids didn't let them, taking the win here, 28-14.The rushing and passing game for Grand Rapids were too much for Allentown, as they also passed for 211 yards to Allentown's 172. But Allentown was hurt by their running game, only 44 yards of rushing.
Next up, the Stars of New York traveled to the great northwest to take on the Mountaineers of Seattle. It was a tough, low-scoring, back and forth battle. But thanks to QB Charon, the Mountaineers pulled out another win, 14-0.New York still looking for answers as they try to get any form of momentum going.
Calgary was hosting this week, and after defeating Beijing on their home turf, wanted to welcome Indiana to town with a beatdown. But it was not the case, as Indiana held Calgary to only 81 yards of rushing, picking up a win against the Comets, 14-8.Next up is what I would call the game of the week. Vancouver/Swansea. Both teams battled back and forth in what was probably anyone's game to win. The thing that killed the Red Dragons was the passing game. They out ran the Vampires 214 to 174, but was outpassed, 182 to 61. In the end, Vancouver came away with a close victory, 25-18.Truly, an excellent game between two great clubs. And the next matchup had the opportunity to become a great matchup as well, as the Beijing Bandits traveled to Lincoln, Nebraska to take on the Lightning. The two teams went into halftime tied at 11 all, but in the second half, the Bandits came out and just blew away the Lightning. Bandits QB Starbird helped out greatly, going 10-16 for 239 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT, as the Bandits took out the Lightning, 29-11.The announcement of the higher-ups wanting to sign troubled Oregon RB Blount must've fired up the Settlers, as they traveled to the Edge of Sanity and pounded the tar out of Team Delirious. 484 total yards of offense to Delrious' 160 yards helped Portland rout Team Delirious, 32-7.From the Edge of Sanity to the colorful land of Greece, the Sioux Falls Outlaws looked for answers as they faced off against the Athens Eagles. Surprisingly, the star here early on was Outlaws Kicker Ray "Einhorn is" Finkle, who kicked two field goals early on. But late in the fourth quarter, Athens drove down the field and punched the ball in, making the score 8-6. They went for two and got it, tying the game up at 8, and we had our first overtime game in the WFL. Athens got the ball and drove down the field again, kicking a field goal to take the win, 12-8.It was a tough loss for Sioux Falls, as they looked like they were gonna be able to pull out a win, but it was not the case.
The final game of the week had the Manitoba Mavericks take on the Icestorm of Stockholm, Sweden. And Manitoba came out on all eight cylinders, rocking the Icestorm 28-7.It truly was a great weekend of football, and makes me even more excited for the weeks to come. But for now, we're out of time. For Bo Jackson, this is Howard Cosell saying so long, and see you next time!
