Privateer summed it up pretty well. The game is a ton of fun. If you have friends interested in sports games, it's a real winner. There are also rules for MVPs and campaigns, and doing a campaign during something like Football or Hockey season while listening to games on the TV or radio would probably keep the spirit of the game going as well-they'd play off of each other. It's better than just sitting on the couch watching football and scarfing nachos, anyway.
