Sim football is a hobby that I have had more than one gridiron historian mention as a pastime that they enjoy using their football knowledge in. To learn more about this I had a virtual "Dream Team" of Sim team owners/League Commissioners: Randy Sivigny, https://pigskindispatch.com/(searchresults)?q2=%22Brandon%20Rose%22 (Brandon Rose), and https://pigskindispatch.com/(searchresults)?q2=%22Greg%20James%22 (Greg James). Listen in for the fun discussion we had as they shared their hobby with me in a visit to the Pigpen.

A semi Pro game in the small towns of Illinois brought trouble to multiple levels of football. This rivalry went awry into the devious clutches of greed and cheating and brought out a very ugly side of the game we hold dear. May we present the Taylorville scandal.

Sports History Network partners with Plaay Classic, a sports simulation board game company. This is the interview with the founder and his son. Keith and Sam Avallone. You can catch the full interview over at the SHN Showcase podcast.

When we last visited this series, a new game called rugby was shipped across the sea to America from England. Rugby was a brutal game and many schools in England decided not to play it and instead enjoyed a sport called association football or soccer. The soccer name obviously stayed here in the States but Great Britain as well as much of the world call soccer football.
