But, I always end up doing my longest franchise with them, I just start to try and make the team mine.

That's really great advice actually. Thank you I appreciate it. My problem has always been that I get too attached to what the Raiders do in real life, especially now that we finally have a team worth something, that I try to emulate them. If I can make the team mine, as you do, I think I'd be more apt to make a 3-5 season franchise work. You're right on using another team. If I play with Philly or Minnesota, that first season would be a honeymoon, but I'd be thinking that I should have played with the Raiders instead. I guess if I can detach and do it my way, it could work.
