Congratulations Raidergreg69 and Warthog for a thrilling Title game!!!

Both of you are great owners and deserved to be there, unfortunately there can be only one Champion!

My hats off to you both for the very successful transition to version 4.6. It's no secret that personally I haven't been thrilled with the new version but I'm starting to figure it out while you bothade quite a seemless transition.

Congratulations to the National Conference as a whole! The drought is over!

See everyone next season as my Houston Gamblers will be making an extreme turnover in personal. The glory days of the francise are behind me and now I must rebuild practically the entire roster.

Congrats on the championship Greg. Amazing that we went this far in the playoffs and almost won it all when my QB was horrendous all playoffs. He threw 12 INTs in four playoff games after also throwing 12 INTs through the whole regular season. I get QBs having bad games, but having 4 horrible games in a row??? Is it just because of better opponents???


I would say better quality opponents is one reason, but the sim engine/version 4.6 is also to blame. Fugate wasn't alone in having a bad playoffs, most QBs stunk.

Thanks a lot everyone, I wanted to win this one real bad for personal and league reasons. I have a team in NFL League that I felt was the best in the league, yet they lost the last 2 Super Bowls and I lost World Bowl XXIII last year. I can't remember which LC game came before that, but overall I think I end up losing about 2 out of 3 LC games overall. A 3-5 World Bowl record isn't great but it's better than 2-6 and I can finally stop writing about the American Conference winning 13 in a row.

That was an incredible streak, mostly beating up on Washington (5 times), Baltimore (3 times) and my Generals (3 times). I'm really surprised Washington never got 1, the Federals had some awesome teams, as did Baltimore under 4343.

The 13 year winning streak put Tony Dean in the national spotlight as the Houston Gamblers were responsible for 6 of the 13 wins in a row, beating New Jersey twice, Washington twice, Baltimore and Birmingham. The Memphis Showboats and Portland Storm won 3 each during the streak and the Denver Gold won the other one.

I hope it's not another 13 seasons before the National Conference sees another title.
