K-Lo,

I know that you will do a great job representing all of us. I've done a few of these spots in the past. What got most of the people jazzed was calling the play and running it. (Using football play calls) Sounds basic, but most people that have seen or played the game in the past believe it can't be done. If you do a running play followed by a pass play that should get their attention.

Default I got one!

Could you please mention the MFCA and the Canton Convention which is taking place August 1-3. Getting the word out would go a long way to helping the MFCA grow...thanks buddy!

Default What up K-Lo!!!!!!

Good luck on the piece on Friday!
I would suggest that you have pre-scripted plays, and make your blocks, create holes, and place your runner in that hole so that he can break at least a 30yd run with tacklers chasing. This will make it come across to the television viewing audience who is not familliar with EF/MF. Also, they can't make the claim that all the men do is run around in circles. I'm not sure, but I think that is simular to Deburgess' System. I have not seen it, but if it is anything like what I described above, it would definitly help promote the hobby. If you have any questions, please feel free to call after 7PM PST 323/290-3434.
In my experiences on TV, they seem to want to keep things moving. We were constantly setting up so that when they came to us live, all we had to do was turn the set on and point to the guy who had the ball. Keep in mind that most are not EF savy as we are, so it is difficult for them to follow. Even if the men do exactly what you want them to do. The novice has a hard time following the ball carrier, and the pass. The men move so fast, a reporter once said to me that the players look like little ants scattering.

Default thanks guys for the suggestions...but

I already had the MFCA convention on my docket... Only problem we have is that our SuperBowl Teams (patriots/giants) are not local so we cannot put those teams on the field.....
