Packed with New Features
QUICKHIT NFL Football launches this week with hundreds of improvements since the company released its beta last October. New additions include: Color commentary from Super Bowl-winning head coach Bill Cowher; the Free Agent Wire where users can sign Hall of Fame stars like Barry Sanders or Warren Moon; and the Playbook Shop introducing plays like the Wildcat offense.
Most importantly, users can coach their free online NFL team through that team’s division and season schedules.
