Good article. I didn't start playing PC games until around 1990 and never played XOR. I know I saw the ads and it, in part, may have spurred me to get a PC when I finally had the money to purchase one. I never bought XOR though, it may have gone by then.
The Front Page Sports football series was a 1990s fixture on my PC until the series crashed and burned (badly) by the end of the decade.
There hasn't been a good franchise OOTP-like NFL football game imo. The Front Office Football series was (or is) good from a team management standpoint, but not really strong in gameplay. I think there was a brief partnership to develop a game with OOTP Developments and Front Office Football but it never led anywhere.

When NFL Challenge came out I spent more time playing NFL Challenge than doing my homework while in college than I want to admit.
Wisconsin football shut out of 2026 NFL Draft, players land UDFA deals
Wisconsin football had nobody selected in the 2026 NFL Draft but saw multiple players land UDFA deals, headlined by Mason Reiger.
For the first time in nearly half a century, the Wisconsin football program didn’t hear a single player’s name called during the NFL Draft.
Well done Dillon. Another streak broken, 47 yrs. Here's hoping this yr creates change in production, performance & results. See ya at the ol ballfield. On Wisconsin

We could have resolved many EMF/RF questions a long time ago, and the longer we ignore it the worse if gets.
Post assumes the reader has some familiarity with the Peter Anthony Cowan - Living Energy | Substack 49ers-emf-injury-series
Learning about who did, and did not hear about the substation story has been endlessly fascinating to me. The way stories travel in this new media ecosystem, is so unpredictable.

Former Cal Football Players and the 2026 NFL Draft
Transfer portal taketh, and then the NFL Draft taketh again
Once a Bear, in most cases always a Bear. Let’s see where the players who once donned the regal blue and gold have gone to.
Continuing praise for Nando, as he has already donated $500k to MS research. Other than that, this thread shows the Cal program under JW did not have or develop NFL-level talent other than the 2024 DB class... I've read way too many UDFA labels for GBs and former GBs. Let's hope this changes.

Luke Fickell explains Wisconsin football’s ‘eye-opening’ NFL Draft reality
Luke Fickell reacts to the Wisconsin football program not having a player selected in the NFL Draft for the first time since 1978.
The NFL Draft has long served as one of the clearest measuring sticks for the health of college football programs.
"Eye opening"? This is very concerning. 3+ years in, and he's just thinking there are problems now?
I really want this to work out well, and see both Fickell and the program rebound, but it seems there is very little, if any, introspection/ self evaluation happening.

Fantasy Football, the NFL Draft, and the Limits of “Vibe Coding”
Using my Openclaw Agents for Fantasy Football Dominance
I started playing fantasy football in 1998. One of my best friends invited me to join a league right around the time I was commuting back and forth between Los Angeles and Silicon Valley every week. I wasn’t really much of a sports fan at the time, but I figured getting up to speed on football would be a good way to have something to talk about with the…

The NFL's Annual DEI Festival -- Same Old, Same Old
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell bearhugs a draft pick.
Great stuff, Don! Caste Football is essential reading for any sports fan who wants to know the truth about the NFL and all the other sports. The research posted there, as well as informative articles like this one, have provided important source material for the book I'm writing on the subject.
Great analysis, Herr Jeffries.
Still another aspect of our current race ideology's impact on football is how black dominated college and professional football has been sullied by loutish behavior of black players that is now the norm on and off the field. The trash talking, obscenity laced verbal behavior, chest thumping, end zone, jungle dancing that you never saw in the earlier decades when whites dominated. I loved football for most of my life. Now, I cannot stand to watch it. Even the commercials are poisoned with anti-white messaging. Adding insult to injury are the white male fans who buy and wear the NFL paraphernalia, and worship the blacks players.

Christian and Danny react to the NFL Draft, and the latest college football gambling scandal.
🚨🚨🚨 Ohio State survivors finger the nuclear codes 🚨🚨🚨
Sources say the survivors stand ready to "detonate a nuclear bomb" inside Ohio State's flagship athletic program ahead of a scheduled trial in October.
It’s not looking good for The Ohio State University’s defense against survivors of systemic sexual abuse at the hands of dead criminal Dr. Richard Strauss.
Wow. You’re right, the nuclear option is clearly on the table. I will never understand why the university didn’t do the right thing when this criminal behavior was first reported. As always, the longer it’s dragged out, the worse it becomes. If their goal was to protect the football program, they should have faced the music years ago. Too much money in their faces, I guess.
