electronic football is a special game a unique game the men who play it make it
so in obscurity they toil while others frolic around them in the bars of Kansas
City they heed the siren call of the unforgettable buzz and grim gladiators
forever frozen in their poses the game's primitive roots drove away lesser men than
these artists and teachers and coaches who can animate plastic and bring new
life to these vibrating cathedrals I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew a
good play I've been playing since I was about eight years old I had two older
brothers that play football me youngest of six so my two older brothers so big
in the football when I was coming along and growing up they was playing
electric football with their friends and they did everything I mean they cut
guys up and piece them together they put nuts and bolts underneath the basis to
weigh them down so they could run strong and fast and all this stuff and of course
I didn't learn that to later on but when they went off to college I kept all
their stuff so I used to play by myself and then I got my friends involved and
it just kind of stuck with I had that game when I was a kid those guys ran
around in circles and they all fell down and we had scrums they push this way
they push that way and we'd find one guy that would maybe run they're always
amazed but all it takes is one time with a base that we haven't tweaked I can
take it in under 30 seconds and with the pliers and make it run straight and when
that happens they're like oh my gosh you can really make this do what you want it
to do and then the wheels start turning they realize that hey there's you can
apply strategy to that it's a lot of strategy I think it's really close to I
call it vibrating chess so you got chess and you got to strategize where to move
the pieces this than the other where football is the same way except it just
moves so I call it vibrating chess because it's the same type of strategy
two of my boards really quiet well that came about because my wife was tired of
the noise I've even put one of these boards in my bedroom while she was
sleeping and I'm tweaking that sounds crazy but because the boards quiet I
can do it got you one second left last play the game you called it with one
second left and so we're getting to play football we're kind of living out some
of our non-professional football dreams the dreams that we weren't able to get
we can actually make that happen here on these fields yep
God yeah baby good game mmm let's go let's go I'm sorry we'll take that
