I'll put in a good word for John and the effort he puts in to create a great environment. I'm new to the PEBA, the lucky one to take on his team in Aurora and he's been a great help in orienting me about the league. There's a great group of active guys, writing about the teams, the leagues (both PEBA and LRS), and about life in general. We had a great on-line round table Q & A session (in character) as we awaited the patch that was such fun I think it may become a regular occurrence. I seem to recall a series of board games growing up, I believe they were called 'The Thinking Man's Baseball' or perhaps it was football, or maybe both, but I'd certainly call the PEBA/LRS experience the "Thinking Man's OOTP" (not that the game isn't already......). He moves the league at a leisurely pace so that more time for writing and planning (and life) can occur. If you've got a creative mind and love the game, then this is the place for you.

(Oh, and ukhotstove.... Go Liverpool!)
