After a hiatus of several years, the original APBA Football Club is back in action. Launched on Facebook in January 2011 by Geoff Giordano, the AFC serves not only the APBA Football community but the APBA community at large with a combination of playing tips, game history, interviews with leading voices of Hall of Famers and longtime players and other unique content geared to promoting the game and its current and new fans.
In our original run from 2011-2016, the APBA Football Club:
• Interviewed numerous APBA Hall of Famers and notables like Ed Zack, John Cochrane, Pete Simonelli, Veryl Lincoln, Skeet Carr, Roy Langhans, Len Gaydos and Jack "The Cardfather" Kohn
• Interviewed key APBA Football thinkers like Mark Zarb, Dave Urban, Denny Hodge and Art Carter
• Covered the fan-held APBA annual tournament in founding city Lancaster, conducting interviews and live Tweeting competition results (we believe for the first time in APBA history)
• Built one of the most comprehensive APBA Football collections, including many sets from Hall of Famer Robert Henry's collection, as well as many vintage bowling, saddle racing, golf and basketball games
• Began drafting an APBA Football Handbook to complement Ed Zack's APBA baseball handbook
• Created APBA features and series including "APBA Icons, "On the Road," "APBA Firsts," "APBA Combine" and "Show Us Your Setup"
• Created the first contemporary football-only APBA Football competition at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton in August 2013, featuring a combination of how-to-play demonstrations with a mini single-elimination tournament won by Greg Wells, as well as John Cochrane's demo of the APBA Soccer game and the National Card Football League's demo of its play-by-Skype method (well before the pandemic)
• Nominated Greg Barath and Ray Dunlap to the APBA Hall of Fame in 2014
• FInished second to Mike McCune in the global NCFL Skype tournament (1989 Forty-Niners 30, 2007 Patriots 24)

17 JUN 2021 · Steve Stein, creator of Compuduck Sports Software (Steve's APBA Card Computer) joins us for a far-reaching discussion what constitutes accurate and enjoyable sports simulations — and how the two concepts don't always mesh into a good game.

17 JUN 2021 · APBA Football veteran Bobby Porter has performed a rare hat trick, playing as a member of three APBA Football leagues: Florida's Suncoast Football League, founded in 1979; Ohio's National Card Football League, created in 1981; and the NCFL offshoot American Card Football League. Porter details his draft and face-to-face experiences, the SFL's unique results boards, optimal player usage in FTF league competition, and his custom football fields. He also helps design and maintain the league's websites. And, he goes on the record to nominate Jerry Zajack for the APBA Hall of Fame (and we heartily second that motion). Stay tuned to the APBA Football Club channel for exclusive updates as these leagues progress through their seasons.

17 JUN 2021 · Bill Lilley’s recent write-ups of his 1972 Dolphins replay (reissue season calculated for master boards) deftly recapture the magic of those colorful ’70s APBA football brochures. Small wonder — turns out he’s a newsman like myself. Now living in Thailand, he hails from near Canton, Ohio (and just missed out on our inaugural 2013 conference at the Pro Football Hall of Fame). In our deep-dive interview, we talk about the Seitz, Light and Herson eras, the beauty of the game engine driving the numbers on the cards, his experiences almost winning the official APBA baseball tourney and, of course, his start in the game decades ago.
17 JUN 2021 · APBA Hall of Famer Greg Barath is perhaps the most prolific APBA Football replayer the game has known. Continually refining his method, Greg has been publishing his methods, results and tutorials for more than 15 years on his blog, YouTube and Delphi's Between The Lines forum. Having joined the ranks of the most illustrious names in APBA in 2016's HoF induction ceremony, Barath is tackling a new challenge: Coaching the New England Patriots for the 2021 season of Ohio's venerable National Card Football League. At the time of this interview, the league had just completed its draft, leading Greg to begin contemplating his face-to-face strategy. Meantime, his solitaire play methodology grows in legend; Greg has helped countless players share his passion for the game. But as he's quick to point out, the game is meant to be enjoyed at every player's desired level of complexity: Played basic out of the box or customized to any degree, APBA Football retains its unique place in the universe of board games replicating pro, college (and in some cases, even high school) football. And although relocated to the Pacific Northwest, Greg already had his tickets and hotel reservations for the 2021 annual APBA Convention in Alpharetta.

17 JUN 2021 · In this inaugural episode, we talk about the APBA Football audience figures we're seeing in the gaming world, suggestions to help promote the game outside the Delphi forums (our original goal) and some history of the game (gleaned from our personal work in cataloguing original games and boards as well as interviewing the folks who were there with company founder J. Richard Seitz).
