Penn--only $2K--that's for CY2006 right?
I absolutely agree SOMO is a huge marketing blunder (again, no fault at the Bernie et al level). Very much an under-served and out-of-focus business plan, to be sure. I'd play many more teams under certain conditions, but not with the current setup. There are a lot of possibilites for expansion, such as making it an exact port of the computer version, fully customizable head to head or hands-off play, one game setting at a time, customizable drafting (such as integrating Penn's contribution to the community), etc.
So what about Simnasium? Heard about that and haven't seen anything. The problem is TSN's cards are the best out there for replay--I'd be cautiously optimistic about a new statistical paradigm. It's been tried before and failed every time.
