Default coming back

Hello everyone. I am sure the vast majority of you have no idea who I am, but I am a fan of miniature football from birth it feels like. I feel out of the hobby after childhood, but rediscovered it through the Net about a year or so ago.
I started customizing figures with the help and advice of some great people on here like Decal Master, RaierMike, and Reggie Rutledge. Had a blast, made some good stuff.
I found a league in Baltimore (where I live) and met some great guys. Ed, Will, Darrian, Smitty, Adrian, Sean, just to name a few...Truly great guys.
But, then I had an unfortunate incident at a league game. Really bothered me. In fact, it ended my season there. Actually, it ended miniature football for me. I put my Browns in a box, sealed things up, and walked away.

Now, I have decided I need to get back involved. I love this hobby. Furthermore, I can't let one bad experience ruin the hobby for me.

My grandmother who raised me just passed away this week and I began reflecting on the things I care about in life and things I still want to do. All the silly times I have misse dout on things for various reasons and can never get back. Miniature football is one of those things I want back in my life. I have seen it at it's best, fellowship, comradre, genuine care for your fellow man, and some serious fun. I have also now seen the worst, as in winning at all costs, cheating and physical threats over a game. In all, I think it is worth reclaiming. Warts and all, I love the hobby.

I am coming back.

I am reclaiming my hobby.

I hope to talk to you all again soon.

Have to levae for Cleveland for a funneral, but when I return, I plan to pursue my hobby again.

Just felt like I should express this.

Brian King

Default Back In The Game

By all means get back into the hobby. As far as fighting or cheating is concerned, this hobby isn’t that serious. I am sure that you already know, but don’t associate with those coaches who try to give you grief. Stay away from them.

As a reintroduction to the hobby, visit YouTube and search under Electriccoach. See the video entitled, “The Electric Football Federation”.

Default Welcome Back Brian!

Hey Brian,

It is definitely good hearing from you, man. What you experienced was unfortunate and I am ashamed of what I witnessed.

Sometimes it is good to take a step back to re-evaluate things. I have done this on many occassions.

With that said, glad to hear that you've decided to come back home. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Shoot me a PM or just give me a call (301-385-4304).

-Adrian-
