Dang, ILB Gary El-Mashtoub retired after a 105 tackle season. Was hoping he would stick around another year. Probably overpaid for him since he only played two seasons with us - oh well. Surprised none of my offensive line retired. I'm sure we'll get quite a bit of ratings drop but should have excellent cohesion.

[Hoosier]

Well, a lot of Matadors said Ole' to the new season and retired. We wish them a fond Adios Amigos.

[JesterBlaze]

Phantoms drop from #2 to #3 on the Franchise Values screen. Not that it matters much but the calculations on that have got to be the biggest "bug" in FOF. Phantoms were over $500M for 3 straight years and now dropped to $460M but still are tops in the league... and are worth $1.399B. In 4 years we've made almost $2B but are only worth 70% of that???

[JesterBlaze]

Portland has surpassed Norfolk as #2 All-Time in the regular season. The IFL isn't right when Norfolk isn't an elite team. Hopefully things will go back to normal this season or next.

[VitoStallion]

FA pickup OLB Eric Benson RETIRED after posting his FIRST 10+ sack season AND making the PROBOWL for the first time in his 9 year career.

[grumble]

[Kobeck]

ouch

[BOSS]

My first 5 games this season:

PENN, BALT, VAN, @LAW, NEWARK

Damn, that is a tall order. At least 4 of them are at home.

[Kobeck]

holy schedule makers Batman!


Mules are not at home till w5 and only have 2 home games thru w9 - lol
