  1. It is one thing to have a mental game plan and talk about it, but it is a whole nother to execute it in live play. I am a silent coach who loves the fun of the game and the hobby. Have to be able to be a chameleon on all sides of the ball in any league. Solitaire is great! If these guys ditch because of the glue (Billy O'C), I will do my own Solitaire with all of my teams. The savvy is the technology in the LIEFL and the work that goes into keeping records, which is lacking in other leagues. Me thinks every league needs a loud coach like Freeport, win or lose. His talk keeps the game interesting and the coaches yearning for more, but beating him is beating his radicalism in my mind. LOL!
  2. From what I have seen it doesn't matter what he runs, he wins! They couldn't stop his running game, but maybe a little luck was on his team's side. One coach tried his three-four defensive scheme but he was demolished. Freeport was averaging 10-12 yards on his runs with the LIEFL #20 ranked Falcons, and he just chipped away at the defense. You never know who is gonna play on the field.
  3. Not like Viggs who runs great traps, tags and double-team runs with a running blocker to either side of the ball and the tackle and guards trapping inside or outside at his service, but then again Viggs is an excellent offensive mind who is cool, calm, quiet and collective! He's my favorite to watch.
  4. I am the only one organized enough to pull it together! We will see. Lev!
  5. He uses three or four blocking schemes that I have played against--the traditional man on man, pulling linemen or waggles seems to be his favorite. Not sure about that accumulating yardage part. He also uses a tough front five in common plow type offensive line that plows everything in it way. Nothing sophisticated, he seems to keep it simple. If we can stop his kick returns and limit them, he is beatable and moreover, if you can get into his head and shake his confidence, that is the best in him folding, but not this year. Levi-
  6. Yes! They are in a world of their own! Our coaches may join the league in 2025 if they are interested.
  7. (Garden City New York). Sunday Written By Paddy Brannigan and Levi Vick. Win or Lose, Money talks! A first! This past weekend to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Day, the Nassau EFL (NEFL) in Garden City, New York I attended the Nassau Tournament of Champions to watch LIEFL-Johnny-Freeport compete against their best and whoever the finalist would be in their TOP GUN Championship, after their LI Gladiators and LIEFL Member Bobby Biggs brother Andy Biggs, was crowned Champion three weeks ago in the NEFL. Primed and ready coming off of a huge win over our LIEFL Los Angeles Chargers in OT, our own LIEFL Super Bowl XVIII Champion Johnny-Freeport stormed the Nassau 67-BIG MEN League with his proud LIEFL Champion Atlanta Falcons (9-2), but to play their champion, Freeport did not know that his Falcons would be vetted through a 16-man team tournament, nor did Freeport seem to care. He came to play and to attempt to win more money. Rather than cover the game like we do in the LIEFL, so that we could enjoy the game, we just wrote a summary by talking into the phone in an email and then editing after. It's too much work. LIEFL Member Levi Vick competed in the NEFL league for 10 years, and Bobby Biggs brother Andre has played in the league for five years. It was LIEFL-Coach Joey Pizz who convinced the former two-time Nassau SB Champion Levi Vick, and Bobby Biggs to play in the LIEFL. Commissioner Billy O'C would love to have the remainder of the coaches join but the issue is we have one season left in the LIEFL and the amount of exhausting work that goes into making a great league, we couldn't handle. Perhaps we will combine forces and begin a new journey by creating a new Long Island League. It's complicated for many reasons. Reason one is, rebuilding a league and for the LIEFL members, starting over. The LIEFL figures all belong to Billy O'C and he already told us after the league folds, we would have to buy our own teams if we wanted to continue a league. That is fair. They are his teams, and his and Ed Viggs league. O'C is finished and to Viggs, he'll do what O'C wants in the finale. Here is how he Johnny-Freeport's Falcons faired: Game #1: Round 1: LIEFL SB XVIII Champion Atlanta Falcons (9-2) vs. NEFL-Nassau Trojans Falcons 50 Trojans 20 We did the count on the stats. BOOM! Johnny-Freeport came out with his own TOP GUNS blazing! LIEFL ALL-PRO Gerald Riggs exploded for 506 all-purpose yards, with 20 touches, including four touchdowns, two of them were 100-yard returns against the all-Maroon Trojans. Also, Falcons receivers Julio Jones scored one touchdown, and LIEFL-Super Bowl XVIII star Austin Hooper had two electrifying touchdown catches of 43 and 22 yards! On defense "Posse" defender Deion Sanders had two sacks working the blind and weak side of the Trojans offense. They were no match for these Falcons. LIEFL ALL-PRO Bill Fralic had five tackles as the Dirty Birds frontmen paved the way for Riggs and company! Great start to the tournament for the Falcons and the posse! Game #2: Round 2: LIEFL SB XVIII Champion Atlanta Falcons (10-2) vs. NEFL-Team USA Falcons 44 Team USA 16 BAM! LIEFL Gerald Riggs surprised! Riggs busted out rushing for 235 yards with four touchdowns, one of the runs was 74 yards into the endzone with Johnny-Freeport just getting warmed up! Freeport dominated Team USA. Freeport aired it out with two touchdown catches by Austin Hooper! Team USA with no match for Atlanta. The Falcons killed the clock with Riggs finishing the game with over 483 all-purpose yards! The Falcons defense crushed USA, limiting them to 134 yards in the game. Falcons lineman Claude Humphrey had four tackles for the Dirty Bird Posse who chased down a Team USA, who passed most of the game. Falcons defender Deion Sanders had three tackles including a tackle in the backfield on a key second down loss for 17 yards, giving the Dirty Birds full advantage. Hats off though to the running back on Team USA wearing white jerseys with a white helmet featuring a red and blue star on it, who Freeport said was a great base. One great blocker on the line vs the posse is no match for a team as Freeport's 44 unanswered points gave the Falcons the win in a runaway over Team USA! Game #3: Round 3: LIEFL SB XVIII Champion Atlanta Falcons (11-2) vs. NEFL-Prime-Time Wreckers Falcons 38 Prime Time Wreckers 23 BATTA-BING! The Silver and Blue numberless NEFL Wreckers were ready for Johnny-Freeport's Falcons after watching the Dirty Birds demolished Team USA 44-16 in Round I. LIEFL-Johnny Freeport switched it up in this game with his Dirty Bird Posse, this time by putting the ball in the silent but deadly Jamaal Anderson's hands. Anderson bullied his way to three rushing touchdowns and Gerald Riggs scored two as the Wreckers could not stop the offensive running attack of the LIEFL Atlanta Falcons, and Johnny-Freeport's Falcons are again going to the finals! Jamaal Anderson rushed for 174 yards on 15 carries and Riggs had 109 yards rushing on six carries as the Falcons manhandled the Wreckers! This league is far different than how Billy O'C organizes. Game #4: TOP GUN CHAMPIONSHIP: LIEFL SB XVIII Champion Atlanta Falcons (12-2) vs. NEFL- G L A D I A TO R S(16-0) Falcons 24 Gladiators 3 HOOYAH! Johnny-Freeport sent a message to the NEFL coaches as to who's Boss in this tournament, but it wasn't easy! Freeport walked away with the $$$Prize after a defensive crushing of the Nassau season Champion G L A D I A T O R S in the Top Gun Championship Game! The LIEFL Atlanta Falcons have won nine straight games in the past month! It was Gerald Riggs two 100-yard touchdown returns and one rushing touchdown, (Photo: Gerald Riggs on his 28-yard TD run), a 28 yard scamper by Riggs with Bill Fralic leading the way into the endzone, that silenced the tough Gladiators, but they fought hard. NEFL Champion Andy Biggs couldn't get his G L A D I A T O R offense going against the Falcons posse. Biggs little brother threw two interception passes that the Falcons took advantage of and Atlanta worked the clock. Even with the long counts for the NEFL and turnarounds, Johnny-Freeport had huge success running the ball, but he also had issues with the Nassau EFL rules. If the teams were more competitive in the NEFL, Freeport may have had bigger challenges passing. The Gladiator uniforms were very nice, but they had no numbers. The league doesn't number their players because they believe that a team is a team and numbers only label. To each his own. The Falcons beat the best team in the NEFL who were previously undefeated and The League Super Bowl champ. Johnny-Freeport beat Bobby Biggs brother Andre in the finals! The one thing is, it might be the first time that Freeport didn't trash talk. Johnny Freeport said by email, " Didn't like the rules, teams were average, coaching was good, but when in doubt run, run, run! I'm finished for the year! Unless of course there's a two or $3,000 tournament going on. I came into this tournament to dominate, and really my guys did all the work. Atlanta is solid all the way around. My backfield is still hungry, so it's good that I gave the ball to it my boy Anderson because when you're watching this guy do what he does with that speed, you know you have a player." Gerald Riggs showed everyone who can play didn't he? I appreciate Joey Pizz and Brannigan for coming to the final game, and Levi Vick too. The competition was good, but I've played better. The proof in the play is, the Biggs boys are no match for my guys. The league is nowhere near as organized as the LIEFL." Freeport earned $500 more dollars playing against the 67-Big MEN best of best teams from the Levi Vicks former Nassau League.The Nassau EFL plays a ten game season with 24 teams. The NEFL seemed anxious to play the LIEFL SB Champion and they kept their promise to play our SB Champion with their SB Champion in this $500 dollar "Top Gun" Tournament. The Tournament MVP Gerald Riggs
  8. THOSE 620'S work great! There are several for sale on eBay right now.
  9. We used it in a few practice games in the LIEFL but ended up giving it away because we didn't like the performance level of the game. We prefer the old school great quality games made by Tudor and some from Miggle Toys.
  10. Our people were there to capture it all! Live from WLIW with no further delay ... your Penn State Nittany Lions! ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!
  11. SO TRUE! I GO IN WITH MY TOP FIVE TO SEVEN PLAYS BUT IT NEVER TURNS OUT THE SAME.
