3 September 2011: Preseason has ended and the final standings are shown in the table above. Now we wait breathlessly for the start of the regular (real) season. My Detroit Lions are one of only two teams to finish with 4-0, though I regret to say that last time that happened they went 0-16 for the regular season. I'm hoping for better this year! -- Webmaster |

29 August 2011: NFL/ICCF Commissioner Announces Trophy We have a trophy! Michael has been shopping! Upon his offer to supply us with a trophee - my request was: Please a really ugly one! But unfortunately, our General Secretary could not find any ugly stuff - so instead we now have this absolutely wonderful masterpiece!! Well, at least I would love to have it in my office - Esperanza will never allow it in the house! Now, here you have the rules: Winner of Season 4 is the first to receive the trophee. Michael will bring it to Congress and we will have a ceremony there with all present runner ups dressed in their NFL gear. If the winner is not present in Rustenburg - it will be sent by post. Winner of season 4 will be responsible for: Engraving of his own name in the next available spot - on his own expence. And to bring it to the next Congress - no matter if he wins it again or not! If the next winner is unable to come to the Congress - he will have the trophee sent to him by post - at the previous winners expense. Søren PS! The trophee weights 3,5 kilos :-) For more photos of the trophy go to Trophy |

28 August 2011: GM Jason Bokar Elected NAPZ Director! ICCF-U.S. Secretary Corky Schakel has announced that Jason Bokar has been elected to serve as Director of the North American/Pacific Zone (NAPZ). Congratulations to Jason, and thanks to him for taking on this challenging task. The world is divided into four ICCFzones. The NAPZ zone consists of Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, and USA. Jason takes over from Corky, who has been doing double duty along with serving as ICCF-U.S. Secretary. This places Jason on the ICCF Executive Board. Best wishes to our fellow NFL-competitor in this important role! |

28 August 2011: PREDICTION TIME! from Glen Shields We're almost ready to start the season. So that means it's PREDICTION TIME! Here's who will make the playoffs this year: NFC - Dallas, Detroit, New Orleans and St. Louis will win their divisions and make the playoffs. The NFC wildcard teams will be Philadelphia and Green Bay. The Eagles "Dream Team" will be brought to Earth by Michael Vick's erratic play. 2011's two best NFC teams play in the same division. They'll face each other in the NFC Championship game. Those teams are the defending champion Packers and upstart Detroit Lions. Going out on a limb here and saying the Detroit Lions will be the surprise team of the year and will play in their very first Super Bowl. The US "rust belt" will be vindicated. Go Lions! Welcome back Henry Ford :-) AFC - New England, Pittsburgh, Houston and San Diego will represent their divisions in the 2011 playoffs. The Jets will finish a strong second and receive a wildcard spot. The Baltimore Ravens will barely sneak in and get the second wildcard. The Ravens aging defense has one more year left and they will cover for Joe Flacco one the NFL's biggest QB "hacks." They won't last long though, the Ravens will be gone in the first round. The AFC winner will be the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their defense and QB are as tough as they come and won't be denied. The Steelers misfortune is they play in the AFC where the top 3 or 4 teams reside. Beating their AFC brethren will take its toll. There will be too little left by the time they face the Lions. These two old "rust belt" giants will slug it out. It will be the steel workers versus the automobile workers , and in the end the Lions will roar and the Lombardi trophy will reside in Detroit. Two other rust belt teams - Cleveland and Buffalo won't compete this year, maybe not even next year, but they are going to be A LOT better than last year. One final prediction - ESPN, the excellence in sports network, will be so distraught this year that a New York City team doesn't win a championship they will rename themselves to something more appropriate. The on-going rumor is it will be TCCS - The Comedy Channel of Sports :-) Good luck everyone - hopefully no one is offended. There can be only one winner. I know it won't be my team [Buffalo Bills - webmaster], but I do hope they look better than last year. That won't be difficult :-) My best, George Pyrich comments:
Glen Shields comments: Thanks George.
