The "AS REAL AS IT GETS" simulation football league is a unique format that allows any and all to get involved in the replay of football history. You can select a single team and play them for an entire season OR play a different team each and every week! In any case, you will be part of a project that will simulate the NFL of the past throughout 75 plus years of football history.
