[the System]

My story began in 1970 when my friend Joe Jenkins showed us his Superbowl III set. Soon all the boys in the neighborhood wanted a set. But the only set that any of our parents was the 500 set. Soon Joe, Donnie, Gary, Alan, Mike, and myself formed a league. The way we played, we broke the NFL into 4 six team divisions. Each would take a team and play a round-robbin to determine the divisional winner and runner up. As soon as all of the divisions were played out, the 8 teams would meet in a playoff. This went for 2 seasons. I won the first year by beating Joe, 49ers 28 - Jets 10. The next season saw Joe beat Donnie, Jets 21 - Steelers 7. After these 2 seasons we moved to another city, but I got a AFC 620 game for Christmas. Since then I have played a solitary league of some kind.
