OL teams don't mess around. Having been a member of OL for a long time with several teams, I can attest to the many impressive ways that these guys can compete with the best.
As for Steelport, they themselves a former OL member, they are destined to a WC1 spot as Santa Maria have pulled out to a 5 game lead. Turns out that when I said that they best not miss, they didn't. They kept winning while we kept losing to vastly inferior teams. You hear that, kids? That's the Magus Curse intensifying.
I did, however, pick up 90 Ozzie Smith for 55k, as well as packing a lot of other flippable cards. Might be able to parlay that into another big-ish pickup once everything sells.
