Default EF mentioned in SI

Yep, much to my surprise, in the April 7, 2008 issue of Sports Illustrated, writer Austin Murphy mentioned electric football directly in the opening paragraph of the story entitled "LIFE CYCLES". (P.64).

All publicity is good publicity as far as I'm concerned!

It isn't much but its there.

Here is the Readers Digest version for the link impaired.

By Austin Murphy
Go ahead, stare. He's used to it. Davis Phinney has mistimed his meds, and now the poor guy is vibrating as if he were a figurine in an old school electric football game. One of the greatest cyclists in American history is slowly being hollowed out by an adversary he has dubbed the Body Snatcher.
