The Phantom Menace was Actually Good: A Bengals Franchise

[JeriousNorwood]

Here's another franchise thread that no one cares about! I know, I know, hold your excitement. However, I found great sliders, and I wanted to play with them over a decent amount of time to see if they actually worked. Well now eight games in I feel it is decent enough to post. What I will do here is catch you all up to where I am at right now in my franchise, and then from there I will get more detailed.

Why you should ready my franchise:

• Fluff = Skipped. Everyone skips the team backgrounds and stuff. No one actually reads them. I never gave a crap, and I don't expect you to either.
• Statistic focus. I love stats. I'm a state whore. Or is it a stat pimp since I'm a guy? Yes, I'm a stat pimp. I will write some articles with a fantasy football focus. Yes, the thing people care more about now than REAL football.
• If you are reading this opening post, then you obviously have nothing else to do, so just scroll down and read.
• Girls like guys who read my threads.
