The reason for so many ex-Cowby players on the Breakers is that I have a Legends league where the existing NFL teams get their all-time roster. What ever players are not on that franchises all-time roster go to the expansion teams. For some of the teams with so many stars such as the Cowboys, Steelers, Raiders, Colts and so on I create some spin off teams of those franchises to create great rivalries and matchups. For instance:
San Jose Breakers- Many Cowboys from the 70's and 80's
Louisville Mustangs- Some Cowboys from the 90's and present day
Richmond Rebels- Mostly current Giants
New Portland Sharks team will be mostly extra Raiders
Hartford Renegades- Mostly Steelers from 90's and present day.
I also try to put these teams in the same division or conference as their parent teams. I now have players from 5 decades playing against each other.
With these kind of rosters no game is boring. There are star players on every team. This is not for everybody,but is sure pleasure for me.
These expansion teams get immediate credibility and help to create some all time great matchups. I have 16 expansion teams now and still have excess players so I will soon be adding 8 more teams to make 56.
