AFL - The Atlas Football League

I'll bid 8 million for the Atlanta franchise

Very well, If no one else has chosen them yet I'd like the 1998 Minnesota Vikings. The team will play in the Gerogia Dome and will likely be renamed (though I can't think of a good one OTTOMH just now)

"We're gonna take the ball and we're gonna score!" 

IMO the 1984 Seahawks (12-4) were the best

Cool, after an opening day loss, my Atlanta franchise has won three straight

I'm not going to get excited yet though, the '98 Vikings may have been 15-1, but they didn't even make the Superbowl that year (what they did do is set the record for most pooints in NFL history)

As long as there's a set bracket can we have a "January Madness" pool where the non-involved owners try to pick the bracket winners?

Yay! My frustration from Atlanta not making the playoffs is gone! Picking teams like in "March Madness" will be fun...

PS: But watch out for the Atlanta Fire next season, we're heading into the playoffs! I've decided that the Atlanta Fire's official fight song is We didn't start the fire (to hear the song, click on 'home' and then click on 'We didn't start the fire')
