XBFL Fantasy Football Update Message from the Commissioner xbfl member spotlight >>> Offseason Plans Meet WhoWantsDis

Hello everyone, my name is Sal (WhoWantsDis). I’ve been with the league since 2002 since the good old 2K days. Like Lord Nelson, I too was a big 2K fan until Madden took over. I honestly could say that Madden was not my cup of tea but it has grown on me like fungus on a big fat toe. Being in this league has been a lot of fun as well as frustrating especially when you lose a game due to the game’s faults. All in all this league is a great one with a bunch of cool peeps and Armand does a hell of a job running it.

I live in Los Angeles ,CA, born and raised here. Home of the no football ask the experts >>> team, but that is quite alright with me since I'm a diehard St. Louis Rams fan since 1985. It was tough being a Rams fan growing up, but all that changed when we won Super Bowl 34. That was one of the most happiest days of my life. © 2012, The XBFL, All Rights Reserved I've been gaming ever since the pong, and Atari days. I enjoy FPS, sports games, and some RPG games. I've owned quite a bit of consoles, with the 360 www.thexbfl.com & Dreamcast being my all time favorites. I've enjoyed going to E3 the past 3 years and it's something that every gamer should experience once in their life- time. I also enjoy fixing up cars, weightlifting, and hanging out with my girlfriend and three dogs Apsal (pit bull), Winston (bulldog), and Nike (mutt). Thank you all for all these great years of football sim, and here is to another bunch of them! I would also like to thank Armand for all his years of running this great league...... thanks Armand!!!!!
