Default Preparing to Go Back Into a world of...

solitude and solitaire.

Guys think that because you own a miniature football company, you've got teams just laying around. For me, that is so far from the truth.

When I began FF.COM/FF.Net back in 2000, my whole goal was to make sure I can (personally) have any team I want. That's really why the company was started. I felt that whenever I wanted to go into my own little world of miniature football, I would be able to pull out whatever stadium, gameboard, and figures that I wanted.

Because of customer demand, it never happened like that. Honestly, I own no teams, 2 stadiums, and really no 308 Gameboards. I have nothing! But when guys come to my house and show me what they've got going on, I get a little jealous (in a sense). I figure "I've been in the game all these years and I've got nothing to show for it".

Well, it's time to start having something to show for my time. I am gonna get my slotaire league restarted and these are the teams and stadiums I will get done:

AFC East
Miami Dolphins 1972
Buffalo Bills 1973
Baltimore Colts 1958
New York Jets 1968

AFC Central
Pittsburgh Steelers 1978
Cleveland Browns 1957
Cincinnati Bengals
Houston Oilers 1978

AFC West
Oakland Raiders 1983
Denver Broncos 1997
San Diego Chargers 1981
Kansas City Chiefs 1970

Seattle Seahawks 1984
Baltimore Ravens 2000

NFC
NFC East
Dallas 1992
Washington 1987
Philadelphia Eagles 1988
New York Giants 1986

NFC Central
Minnesota Vikings 1975
Green Bay Packers 1996
Detroit Lions 1991
Chicago Bears 1985

NFC West
Los Angeles Rams - 1985
San Francisco 49ers - 1988
Atlanta Falcons - 1997
New Orleans Saints - 2006

Seattle -2005
Houston Texans - 2008

I will be building these teams for my solitiare season.

Default I understand

I've been all day trying to please all my wargaming friends except me and It's go me nowhere and nothing. I'm having a bad day and all I want to do is just sit and paint my men up. Sometimes it's just too hard to coordinate any fun with anybody.

sorry for the downer message. maybe later things will get better.

Buffalo circa 1973-Love the old school Bills with OJ rushing for 2,003. Anything that shows "The Juice" not slashing in a negative way, I want to show. I love that unifrom!
- bills - 1990-94

Raiders 1983-Again, Marcus Allen is the greatest player in the history of MANKIND! Love this guy and anytime I can show him cutting back on the 'Skins, I must do so!
- raiders - 1976

Seahawks 1984-Will probably do this look because I loved and hated watching Curt Warner running that rock. I've got several great shots of him that I can do.
- I was going to speak about 1984 Seahawks, but they were good

Hail to the Redskins 1987-Who can forget the Broncos heavily favorite team led by John Elway losing to Doug Williams? I am still looking for Tim Smith after his 200 yard affair but I love that group of 'Skins.
- redskins - 1991

Bucs and Pats Championship Teams will be done. Just forgot to put them on t he board. This is gonna be a lot of work but a lot of fun. I am creating shelves in my miniature football room to have as mantle places for each team. I may do a little write up on each team as far as starters and their history. Just something I want to do when I get some time.

- no Bucs and No Patriots???????????
