Default EF in Los Angeles Times paper

Here is the article that ran from LA Times sports columnist Bill Plashke on the front page of the sports section on christmas day:
http://www.latimes.com/sports/column...6072046.column

its pretty funny, he talks about never completing a pass or scoring a touchdown in all the years he played as a kid!

What a coincidence. Occasionally Bill Plashke is one of the panelists on the ESPN show Around The Horn. Ironically he was on the show this past Tuesday 12/23 and he mentioned electric football. Nice article but it would be great if somehow he was able to see the advances in the hobby since he last played.

Have a good day and thanks for sharing.

Default Nice story!

That was a nice story. Let's send him a link to this site and point him to some vids of how the game is played today.

Thumbs up

This is cool.It seems that EF is getting more and more pub every time I turn around.Although Bill could use an updated education the fact that he is usually a wise guy, and has something positive to say about EF is pretty impressive.

I sent Bill an email from the MFCA thanking him for the fun article and invited him to come see what EF is now. I also invited him to the convention in August and told him we could help up his passing percentage. You never know...

I sent Bill the links to all of the Electric Coach videos and the website, which by the way I am sure that you all have seen the latest.
