Default LAEFL ESPN2 Pilot...

I must say that my initial reaction for the pilot when I was recruited by Celo and the gang here in L.A. was that it was not going to be very good. Well I must be the first to give these guys here there props.

This is HUGE guys and I'm not trying to sell this thing for them. I have no ties to this league and have no reason to lie. This is unlike anything that I have ever been a part of. There are several directors and producers here on the set. We have Mike Dunitz here directing the production. He was one of the directors on Jerry McGuire, we also have a producer here by the name of Jon Mikita who works on CSI New York. This is a huge production. I feel like a kid in a candy store. So much fun and so much love in the room. There are make up artist fixing us all up for the set, there is a coaches corner where coaches are being interviewed...man this stuff is crazy!!!

We get to be a part of history and all this crazy behind the scenes stuff is "OFF THE HOOK". Beautiful EFL Models, Great catered food, and EFL action everywhere. They are treating us like KINGS. I feel like Denzel Washington. Such a cool experience. Professional photographers are all over the place, maximum lighting everywhere, and blimp, sideline and mobile cameras are all over the set. I wish everyone in this hobby could be here. THIS IS AWESOME!!! I CAN'T SLEEP!!!

Oh yeah and by the way other stuff I can't say is going on!!! You're missing out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How does the song go? Oh yeah....."I LOVE L.A."

Default EXCELLENT REPORT ON THE SITUATION

MIKE,

Thanx for the recap out in la la land. I know you can't say much but it sounds like you have a full production on hand. Where do you see this outing taking miniature football. I feel the hobby is about to get crazy beyond anyone on this chatboard dream.With all the mfca has accomplished. The filming out in la. The filming in august. The cbsmf taking off. I THINK COACHES BETTER GET THERE BEST STUFF READY FOR EVERYTHING.



GOOD REPORTING FROM THE WESTSIDE

Default All I can say is...

The producer said that this is a "SLAM DUNK"!!! Unfortunately, for editing purposes everyone is prohibited from posting pictures at this time. This is insane. Having to be on the set at 6:00AM is crazy!

Participating Coaches....

George Diamond
Mike Robertson
Marcelo Troilo
Mike Turner
Bill Porsche
Dave Campbell
Eric Robinson
Shabby J.
Perry Burk
Cleon Tate
James Partipilo
Anthony Price
Marty
Barbara Burke
Rick Garrison
Matt Riley
Tim Riley
Errin Mikels
Darren Hunter
Jeronimo Spinks

All games are getting played on time, in order and ahead of schedule. When this lands it will be better than the what you see on TV now with the "Madden Challenge", "The World Series of Poker" and the "And 1 Series"! We have been issued a gag order on the results so please don't text the guys asking what's going on. We can't say anymore until the show aires or it doesn't sale. Worst case scenario is that it doesn't aire and we get a DVD fully edited and ready for tv for the EFL community to enjoy. We'll keep you posted as much as we can. I've been designated the spokeman because the producers have allowed my laptop on the set. Haha...Lucky me!

More details coming soon...

I wish I could have been out there.. sounds fantastic. Many of us have talkled about and hoped for some type of TV show for miniature football as part of the natural progression of the hobby, the next big step in our evolution. This is truly big news and I hope it bears fruit in the immediate future. Thanks for sharing this story with us!!

RJ, you told me a few years ago, back when you were here, to come out to the Jamboree, I wish I joined LAEFL back then!! I am glad I joined this year and my main point is not for the TV pilot, but for the company, the friendship and the competition.

This is a TOUGH league to play in and rookie members have to take their lumps, but are treated with respect, because everyone knows that on any given day....
