since this is my first time being the commissioner of my own specialized theme league, i'm trying to recruit 23 other teams as much as i can.

To anyone out here wanting to join: the theme league in question is NFL29235.

To spark interest in the league you may want to give potential owners more information about the league. Salary cap, years, etc. Typically form a football league in WIS will take weeks, even months.
