What is the Craziest Thing your Players have done?
 

This past week I played a solitaire game. My Queen's University Golden Gaels Vs. the University of Western Ontario Mustangs.

the Mustangs went up by a field goal late in the 3rd Quarter, but On the last play of the game the Gaels had a receiver semi open in the Endzone behind the Speed knob. I Placed the appropriate Pass stick down and placed the ball, I then realized that one of the Mustangs was somewhat closer to the ball than my Gael was... sadly I had to turn the mustang to make what I was sure was an interception.

I turned on the board and the Golden Gael player Launched into the air and made the grab just before the mustang player could get there.

I know that it was just a combination of the players positioning over the motor and the Jolt of it turning on that made it all happen, but it was highlight reel material and fun to watch! Really seemed like he "wanted it more". frstplc

I swear once your teams are all painted up and on the board there is a little bit of magic in there somewhere :)

In a solitaire game around the Holidays last year, I was playing Patriots vs. Chargers, LT charged the line, there was a battle of strength, he managed to sneak through the mayhem untouched, ran 60 yards between the hash marks kind of swaying beautifully left to right, then 5 freaking yards before the endzone he just falls over dead!!! I was yelling, I could not believe what just happened.

He was running towards the motor and I guess he got caught up in the vibes he bounced right over.

To me these moments are the true magic of the hobby.

Good thread, thanks!

Once I was playing a coach with the lions I had Barry Sanders in the I formation he hit the pile then turn right and ran right around the end for a 69 yard touchdown!! It was amazing to see!!!

Here is the most recent...
 

This is not a joke...it is the complete and honest truth...I made this pass last year and the football landed just perfect and stuck to the receivers foot!

I'm playing a game right now between the Toxic Waste and Zombies. The Toxic Waste receiver catches the ball and runs straight down the field. Around the Zombie 30 he suddenly turns and heads straight toward the sideline. I'm thinking "Great, now he'll run out of bounds". Instead, he gets about 2 yards from the sideline, almost stops and turns slowly toward the endzone and then runs like a bat out of hell straight into the endzone while staying within 2 yards of the sideline. I gotta start video taping my games. ppcrn ppcrn ppcrn

one time they did what I was hoping they would do. but just that one time

Al, I absolutely LOVE that avatar!

:rtfl: :rtfl: :rtfl:

Thanks Shabby. Wolfie made it for me. He's the true master when it comes to creative design. The Tweak wouldn't even exist if not for him. All I did was tell him that I wanted a logo for my Fairies team, thinking Tinker Bell with a flame thrower and this is what he came up with. I swear sometimes he can read my mind.... :eek: ;)

I was playing a guy long ago
 

and it was the 4th qtr, last drive, and I had him 4th and 80. I am pretty confident I can stop him but...........his fastest receiver broke free and he hit the pass. His guy is streaking down the middle of the field and I have no one around him. He gets 79 yards and turns 90 degrees and runs right out of bounds. I guess he caught the motor surge too but I wasn't complaining.

A long time ago, ..............
 

.................in a solitaire league of mine, ...........I was like 12 or 13 years old, .............I was playing the Giants against the Cowboys. Back then I had kicker that would kick about 40 - 50 yards and I used him for punts.

The Giants had to punt and placed the TTQB on the field for the punt and the return man "caught" the ball.....ltsplbll :chr:

I was soooooo taken by the moment, I ran upstairs to tell my Mom and Dad and grabbed a camera and took a picture of that play.

I know it's in my Mom's house somewhere...

A question......for Al, ............
 

Al, ...............checking out that logo of the San Fran team, ...........NICE legs, .................does that Fairy have an Adams' apple?????lffng$

Now George, after that wonderful weekend we spent together in Canton, you should know that I'm not the sort of guy to kiss and tell... ;)

Besides, I don't want to ruin anyone's fantasy.... drl$$

dont encourage him
 

Dont encouraage him he may stop this madness!!!!:fghttt:

In The BAM Superbowl Dougie breaks 1 and is going into the endzone
 

...I am like "TD" count it....he hits a dead spot on the board...loses all momentum, rolls backwards and falls 10 yards from 7:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I don't know if it is the craziest, but it is one I will never forget. In real life Marcus Allen had this great way of gliding sliding or diving forward for his TD's. My little EF Marcus did that on numerous plays as he would run toward the endzone and gently dive over the line for the TD.

Yes, I am sure it was a case of balance and more vibes around the endzone but I will never forget the first time it happened and how beautiful it was. His base and figure combo were eventually retired and every now and then I put them on the field to see how he does. He still has it after 9 years.

Coaches that have been around from the earlier days of online forums have heard this one from me before. But it is still a unique event of the vibra turf. It still amazes me to this day. Best of all, it needs no dressing up. Truth can be stranger than fiction......

Back in the 80's and through the early 90's we ran a large league where we all passed w/the board running. I was the ref for this particular game. Coach A calls "pass", then audibles. Coach B audibles his D. Board goes on, receivers pop open, board stops. Coach A declares Primary and Secondary receivers, pivots both at the stem of their route. Coach B pivots his unengaged defenders into their coverages. 3 seconds had expired getting the receivers open leaving 2 seconds for Coach A to get off the pass. Board goes back on.... One thousand one..... Let Er Rip.... A frozen rope to a streaking slot receiver just inside the 10 yd line - a Fab5 RB (stiff arm) figure.

Ball clearly strikes the intended player at or about its forearm/wrist. Clearly because it stuck there. The split was wedged around the wrist. The player fell over near the GL and rolled into the end zone - rolled on its back which made it sort of hold the ball in the air as if to say "I caught it." Two refs, two coaches and a semi-full peanut gallery. No one said a word for what seemed like minutes (probably just a few seconds). On cue everyone fell to the floor laughing. Everyone except Coach B. Our guts were busted and we all had tears in our eyes.... Except coach B. Coach B chuckled but stayed upright. Then he looked at me w/a straight face saying something like "I'm not so sure where he hit the board when he fell. What's the call ref?" My reply was agreement. I wasn't exactly sure where the ball should have been marked either and it happened right under my chin. I told the coach so but had to inject.... You know I have to call that a touchdown. No one argued or even protested. Not even Coach B.

I have tried to duplicate that catch or a similar event many times. I have managed to stick it to a Wide Arm figures ankles for a few seconds at best a couple times but nothing quite like that one catch. I will never forget it as long as I still have 3 remaining brain cells. I am happy to have witnessed it, especially from the vantage point I had. It remains the most monumental of all my hobby experiences.

They had NFL teams when you were 12 or 13? Come on George! You meant to say those red and white tin players didn't you?
