Sha
OK, Ken...you're one of my favorite people in the hobby but what the heck does Sha mean? Being a redneck cracker from small-town Wisconsin originally I'm going to harbor a few guesses:
- Short for Michael Jackson Shamoa - Support for the time when the Shah of Iran wanted to exile in the US - Tribute to your favorite Cubbie, Shawon "Thunderpup" Dunston - What one says after the box roll is crummy right before they remember the 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct if they finish the word - What Sha Na Na now has to call themselves because of legal complications over the trademark use of the band name after their lead singer left Am I close??

How many of those guys...
in Detroit have you been hanging around since 74? Tony Jones is still active in the game. I know a lot of you cats in Detroit stayed in the Detroit area a while and probably have been playing together since the 70's. Who are some of those?

Real Talk
This Box/GAME has notta to do with life situations nor is it a reflection of LIFE for ME...
 I'm dealing with Life situations and the box is no compairson to my DAY to DAY nor is the GAME of electric football for ME? Maybe for some but not for ME. If you watch me play electric football you will have no indication of how I handle life situations. A lot of people are push overs in LIFE but when it comes to this game they get nads! Real talk they are scrubs.  We as men have many hats and for some of you this is a compairson/reflection of how you handle your real life situation but for me it's not. Again, just my  I play electric football to relax and fellowship to get away from LIFE and LIFE situations..... There is so much crap that I allow people to get away with in this hobby that they better think twice before they think they can pull this crap for real! On some real stuff....There are things the game of electric football will bring out such as competative nature, passion for electric football, and morals but how they handle some real situations for ME this game will not show you nodda! For others who haven't seen me play 0-10 is not me! You play me assuming I will go 0-10 and I will put a hoop score on dat arse!

Actually
I actually played in and around some of the same leagues that Jim Davis played in kids in the late 60's early 70's. Back then the whole neighborhood had full leagues. You could have all 24 teams on one city block. My first team was the Giants, guess who I play with now. Of the many I have played with:
Tony Jones has played in the last three years Erick Thompson out West is a native Detroiter who I will take credit for helping raise and mentor through basketball and EF. He went out to Cali and was handling his business until he had to stop. I'll leave it at that. He still plays. I met Jimmy in 1989 after the only year I took off playing football. I know for a fact he loves EF more than I do. We have fought about something or another 25 out of the 21 years I have known him.  Something happens to him it would like a sibling. Now a legend.That's it! and all these young whipper snappers!

For what it's worth, it's good to see...
guys and competitors who were raised up around each other still play at this late age. I know a lot of my podnas from Memphis growing up are either dead, on crack, homeless, or no where to be found. I decided young I was gonna take that educational route and leave Memphis.
I know many of you're families up north was able to work at the auto plants which gave y'all some stability in leagues and life in general. We never had that in Memphis. Like y'all, we had big-time leagues. Every once in a while, when I head back to Memphis, I drop by the old neighborhood and see who is still playing. The rules are still the same and the passion is still just as deep. But most have moved on. They always wish the energy was still there to make the league tick. I just find it really fascinating that you guys still stay in close proximity of each other and those leagues in Detroit were in neighborhoods just streets apart sometime. Reg

That was the beauty of it Reg!
Many of the leagues played differently and because there were so many leagues you only had to go a block or two over to find a set of rules you like.
I remember some guys incorporating dice into the game but I never stuck around because I didn't like it and they were not the only caterer in town. What I do now is take the value of all that is offered because what was once only a block or two away to explore is now in Texas, Caliornia, New York, Ohio, Philadelphia etc . . . I just enjoy the game.

I have never used the words, "I hate the box." Wait a minute, what was the subject?

Wolf
Wolf - that was just plain wrong...
And in the spirit of "just plain wrong", let me introduce the Lions new mascot next year...roar Editor's Note: To whomever plays the Lions in any league, it's nothing personal. Just amped up to play EF in Detroit with some great coaches and am trying to stay light and pump things up a bit.
