It is very sad but true, the football season has come to an end. Sunday is missing that special something and the talk around the water cooler has been reduced to what the hot girl in accounting is wearing. While many football fanatics are reduced to the NFL network this writer is offering a different sense of Football at its purest form. Imagine starting your very own NFL player online, signing contracts, training, and watching the statistics he puts up from game to game. The browser based multiplayer online game based on American football, Goal Line Blitz, brings just that and much, much more to cure the end of the season.

Unlike many online simulators GLB allows one to get involved as much as they possibly want. Spend five minutes or spend five hours it's up to you. It starts by designing the next GLB stud player and the all important player roll. Pick from every position, every attribute, and any crazy name you can come up with.

The best fact about GLB is there are players and teams at every level. Even the player just designed could be the D-league star who get's five sacks a game or rushes for three touchdowns. As your player receives playing time he gains experience which then turns into leveling up. Leveling up gives you five points to spend on key skills such as, speed, strength, jumping, stamina, vision, confidence, blocking, throwing, and many more. How your player is built is your decision. If wanted design the next speed rushing DE or the next Devin Hester, by far the most popular name on this game, it's your call.

Once your player has been released from the D-league or a team has scouted him and offered him a contract, you move on to teams that are owned by actual people. Forums are active, players are talking strategies, and football is in full form at GLB. Create as many players as one would like in GLB, but extra flex points are needed. Flex points are designed to create players, level players up, or even own your team. At first log on your given 400 flex points to create a player,
