Guys that Keep You Enthusiastic About the Game

[Reginald Rutledge]

I've been blessed to be associated with this hobby for so long but sometimes you take for granted the number of people that keep you interested in the game. For me, it's literally thousands!

Just about everybody who comes in contact with me have no freakin' idea how they get my old orange and white blood pumping! You know, it's like one of those old locomotives that goes around and it gets faster and faster-that's me!

Guys like Biglock, Jim Jackson, Jimbo, Raiderman, Ed Morgans, K-Lo, Old School, Broadway Dre, Rick Garrison, D. Ross, Michael Robertson, and so many others wjust by their action cause me to hop off my lazy arse and get cookin' in EFL.

I am even inspired by young high schoolers and teens who I associate with in the hobby. But lately, there's been one brother who has been gettin' me geeked up so much, it's scary. His name is Greg Hardmon.

GHardmon, as he's known on the board, plays in the Detroit EFL. He's one of those guys who I owe a customizing DVD to. He wrote me and told me he was sorry for "bugging" me. I don't know, I guess he read one of my post about being tired. Greg is one of those guys who was apprehenisve about some of the things I did at first but when he got the product and began to use it, he wanted MORE. More importantly, Greg and I got to know each other pretty quickly. I think "Hard" and I talked one day and a 2 minute conversation ended up 2 hours. That day alone, he encouraged me in ways he know not.

Now, he's waiting on the customizing DVD (like a few others). He wants to create, to do to these players what a guy want to do to a woman! He's pumped up! He's itching at the bit to get them. I want him to have them. That type of energy he shows is what makes me want to be in the hobby!

Guys like him, most leagues should be lucky to have in their league. So Greg and all other EFLers who inspire, keep doing what you do! Stay hyped! Get others hyped! And you will hype up this game!

Reggie,
Thanks for the kind word, in talking with you I have realized how much better this game is and how much better you can make the hobby grow. Your work is absolutly outstanding and the passion and inavation that you have I find so unbelievable. I can see things that you do that I would love to bring to, (what I feel has some of the Best coaches in this Hobby) Our league.
I have met some great guys in this hobby and I have only start to go outside my league for the last couples of years and I look forward to meeting more of you in the near future.
Reg I cant wait to meet you at the Seawall Brawl, I will be there for this and I can hardly wait.

Reg we gotta keep you in the game. Over the year I've learn so much about figure's and how to customize them from you it would be waste not to have you in the sport. But you and I have talked for many hours about what you want to bring to the EF world....You're not there yet! So keep givin' us we want and bring out the new stuff and put to rest this living the game mess. You know where we stand Reg.

Reg,

After your high praise, I look forward to meeting Greg as well. It never hurts our hobby to have another creative person in the mix; it's actually a blessing.

Greg... Shoot me your number in a pm or email and I'll give you a jingle one evening.

Take care,

GREG,

I came over and was watching your game with big keith, isaw when your guy got the interception at the end of the game. A little after that your wife asked me was i playing and i told her im waiting for the seawall brawl.. She and i began speaking on the brawl and i told her im in touch with one of the creators of the brawl (DON SMITH) and it was going to be big time ! I told her about the hotel and some of the things that will go on. Also encouraged her to let you know about it and to book early ! She said you usually handle all the planning so im glad you guy's are coming. I will approach at the brawl and introduce myself again. JUST BE READY ! I hear once that divider comes up, you dont know whats coming at you ! PRATICE PRACTICE PRATICE

By the way, im playing with a team made up with friends from my old neighborhood, im playing wide receiver also !!!!! How many td catches do you plan on getting !
