Said he thinks he has more than two, possibly 22. Has to look through the bucket.

He said that we will go through them. He thinks he has.

March 1, 2024 LIEFL Draft Day. Levi Vick. After playing in a great Super Bowl, Coach Johnny Freeport treated everyone to lobster dinner! What a treat! Freeport was opening up about his love for the game and what we will do with the LIEFL when we are finished next season, because to entrust the game and teams to the younger generation who would rather play video games, is a challenge. This year's Rookie of the Year Award goes to receiver Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings as you will read about below. The upcoming March 2024 Draft will purchase many new Tudor Games player base bottoms, and possibly a set of ITZ bases to test and vet for the LIEFL. The ITZ player base vote will be included in the draft as everything in the LIEFL gets voted on at the table. Also included with the 2024 Draft, is a number of votes for the league, and lots of arguments as well. One is the "No-Stop Pass on the Fly Rule", which Coach Ed Viggs is calling for for the fourth straight year. Viggs believes that true-skilled coaches should be able to pass on the fly with your own hand with the foam vintage football, without any game stoppage. While the vote will be in order and he may be right, but nobody in the league is expected to pass that rule other than Viggs and Billy O'C. Johnny-Freeport said, "It is too hard to call because of the speed of the game, a referee would have to make those calls. We are not paying any referee. These fools are delusional." The next rule will be the clock rule. Going from 40, to 35, to 30-seconds for set ups and implementing a five yard delay of game penalty for the coach who cannot set up in 30 seconds is a critical gamechanger if its passed. Arguing nearly every rule, and everyone else in the World's rules too, is Johnny-Freeport. Johnny-Freeport said, "Our Commy Billy O'C has to update the rules package my man. We don't do Tudor Rules, and won't ever play by them. We do our own rules, which we think is better suited internationally, and for our LIEFL coaches. These LIEFL rules are beautiful baby! They work for us as we have indicated in many of Levi Vick's school newspaper articles (LOL). They are excellent rules and strictly guided to move the pace of the game, rather than let certain coaches like Viggy control the game with their own needs and desires, pivots, chase turnarounds, and countdowns. Na Ah, not here, my man." A frustrated Matt Zoo-York said, "It's not really so much about being great in any way, it's about being ready to play at a pace most coaches are not used to, and win! It really challenges a person's knowledge of football and about making football play decisions on the field. If you can't take the speed, setups, and critical thinking in seconds making split-second decisions, you are not playing in this league. We are totally against countdowns, pivots, dice, and using sticks in this league because it takes away from the game. You have to have the skill to play on every level here, that's why I love the league. On any given day I can beat anyone, and they can beat me. I also have friends who use what we don't and they love it, and I respect it all the way. It is great to share the rules with other leagues and then pick and choose what improves our process. It isn't an attack on people's leagues or rules. Leave that to Johnny Freeport." Coach Paddy Brannigan said, "We have a great rules commissioner who actually played big time football at Emporia State, LIU Post, and he is a distinguished and recognized high school football coach in Upstate New York. I am voting the setup rule down, because I am not sure I can be that consistent in time with my setups." "Coach Joey Pizz argued, "The pace is already fast, I need those extra seconds to think, so I am voting it down." It seems to me that these rules suite two people only, Ed Viggs and Billy O'C." Finally is our Draft Order. The order of the draft is interesting as well going into our final season. The New Orleans Saints are believed to be cursed! In the 2023 season, they had a record five #1 picks from the player base pool last season, but they were a bust! Or were they? While they showed hope, they were again a disaster under the direction of rookie coach Bobby Biggs. Biggs only won one game with six loses for the Saints. The only bright shining star, which has been a consistent for the one-time Super Bowl Champion team is Reggie Bush. "We need changes for this team. I want a bigger Saints team, and there are more than 10 packs of various 67-BIG MEN available in the league to paint," said Bobby Biggs. Johnny-Freeport is going to have a brand new, nice sized vintage colored Bengals team painted and decaled by the start of the next season in August. Those decals will be made by BEENUT. Right behind New Orleans in the draft will be the Cleveland Browns (1-6), coached by Matt Zoo-York and the Seattle Seahawks (1-6) coached by Biggs. Zoo-York was (13-18) as a coach after winning a last year's Super Bowl XVII, Cleveland is looking for one lineman and a high-impact receiver who would be a game changer on offense. They already have Jim Brown and a successful Mike Pruitt in their running attack. The Arizona Cardinals (2-5) are in the market for one lineman and a badass linebacker who can lift their running game in front of OJ Anderson. The New York Jets (2-5), have had their troubles, but the AFC East is one of the toughest divisions in the game. Jets running back Le'Veon Bell, has had two excellent progressive seasons, finishing #4 in the AFC rankings behind Indy's Joseph Addai, with 41 Bell rushes for 508 yards, including eight touchdowns, so the offensive line must be doing something right. New York and Coach Joey Pizz will be in the hunt for two linebackers who can make the Jets a feared team in the AFC East. Coach Matt Zoo-York's Philadelphia Eagles (2-5) are a way better team than their record shows. The Eagles have the playmakers, but not the execution plan. The Eagles will also be in the hunt for a new lineman and linebacker in the March LIEFL Draft. Philadelphia has the same issue as the Jets, they are playing in one of the toughest divisions in the league in the NFC East. Zoo-York said, "There isn't a weak division in the LIEFL. Every single team has been vetted with the best player bases ten times over, so I will hope for the best and see this team improve with the great offensive weapons we have." The Minnesota Vikings (2-5), Coach Joey Pizz said his Vikings still have a feared defense in this league, and the addition of rookie Justin Jefferson gave great hope for the Vikings. The rookie was ranked #17 in the NFC finishing with 18 touches for 726 all-purpose yards, with four touchdowns, including a 100-yard return. But the problem is, the Vikings went from upsetting one of the best teams in the league, the Carolina Panthers, who they UPSET in the NFC Wild Card Game 31-24, in 2022, to sitting on the sidelines in 2023. They need a dominating lineman and linebacker to get to the next level. San Francisco 49ers Coach Ed Viggs passed up the #1 Draft Pick from back in 2020 last season, and he will get two first round picks for his (3-4) 49ers! Viggs won't tell what he is looking for in his player bases, but we think he is going push for the ITZ bases with his line. If he improves the line game, the 49ers will compete for the NFC West again in 2024. The Tennessee Titans (2-5), and Coach Kevin Mack had a disappointing 2023, but man Brandon Jones played big in the special teams spot making Top Ten in the AFC ranked #8 in all-purpose yards with 23 touches for 1133 yards with four touchdowns, including a 100-yard touchdown run. The Titans need a better running back player base than Derrick Henry's. While Henry was the 2022 Rookie of the Year, he was ineffective in 2023 because he had no blocking. The league is constantly evolving and unpredictable because of the draft. The teams are getting better and better through the vetting process. If you are gonna compete with the LIEFL Indianapolis Colts, the Titans have to bring it all, and they can in the AFC South. Lastly, in this year's top LIEFL Draft order are the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-5). Coach Bobby Biggs needs to make this team a winner. They have an excellent team to build on and their weakness is at Linebacker. Two fresh high-impact linebacker player bases could land this team in a top playoff spot in the AFC. Biggs and Viggs, on the advice of LIEFL third year coach Levi Vick through Tudor Electric Football Coach Terry 43, suggested to his pal Ed Viggs and Bobby Biggs, that the new player bases could change the future of the LIEFL. We might soon see if they are approved. Terry's league is a major voice and contributor on the Tudor Games Forum: https://forum.tudorgames.com/profile/605-terry43/ The rest of the LIEFL teams will have to pick from thousands of leftovers over the years which sit in a foot-and-a-half tall nearly full bucket, some which when we dig deep and vet the bases more, turn out to be stars! Indy's linebacker Robert Mathis and Atlanta's Super Bowl XVIII MVP Austin Hooper came from that batch of bases!

we We may have some. I will ask Billy O'C.

Oh wow! I don't recall those bases.Love to see a pic of the bases. We have a good 3000 bases, none that color. We have some real nice rookie bases, at least 400-500of them if you tweak we can send some, but again not butterscotch

(E L E C T R I C F O O T B A L L N A T I O N) Strong Island NY, January 7, 2024). Written by Levi Vick, Paddy Brannigan, Joey Pizz, and South Bronx Native Matt Zoo-York, with contributor of LIEFL History, Billy O'C! We will call our LIEFL digest Electric Football Nation! Happy New Year! Alright then. Pro Bowl Games are always a great time to share more history with other hobbyists with the hopes they all share their historic stories. As a suggestion, there should be a page on the forum for that called "THE VIBE or ELECTRIC FOOTBALL NATION: EF Baller Historic Stories" so that we continue to grow this hobby like never before. Another suggestion is to have a "LEAGUE GAMES PAGE" where it becomes like an Electric Football TUDOR FORUM Central for enthusiasts to follow in a more organized way. We are in the mood to share, so please! This is our last game for the 2023 season celebrating the LIEFL Pro Bowl. As always, thank you for reading what we write. We hope it inspires your leagues, solitaire, or full leagues, to do the same, so that we can grow our electric football TUDOR FORUM community. There is nothing like a hobby that embraces the people who play electric football and contribute to it! If you like reading about leagues, we have plenty to share with readers on the records we have kept over the past 52 years. Some of our most memorable LIEFL Pro Bowl's for starters, was in our very first Pro Bowl in the 1981-82 season, when the NFC beat the AFC 24-21! Washington's Tony Green was Pro Bowl MVP of that game. In 2008, recent LIEFL-Super Bowl X V I I I I MVP Gerald Riggs, set a LIEFL Pro Bowl Rushing Record with 10 carries for 209 all-purpose yards, including 161 yards, with two touchdowns! Tampa Bay's Ricky Bell in 2016, had a banging 334 all-purpose yards in that Pro Bowl. Bell also broke Gerald Riggs 54 yard run from scrimmage set in 2008, with Bell's 56 yard run! BA DA BOOM! We have sold the LIEFL standard size player figures twice in the LIEFL because we replaced the figures twice over the years, until we decided on the 67-BIG MEN for the LIEFL's future. Some of you may have even purchased some of our pristine kept teams from different eras on eBay back in 2008 and 2009. We made enough money from these collector items to buy hundreds of 67-BIG MEN, which you now see today featured in our league. Out with the old in with the custom painted new. Look at the old pre-painted LIEFL uniforms before we sold and revamped the entire league (Above) compared to the new customized 67-Big Men teams painted BELOW. We now show off our painting skills (Just Kidding, but we learned), in the most recent photos. We began the renovation journey at a considerable cost from 2009 to 2015, by buying, painting, and decaling every NFL Team in Home and Away Uniforms for all 32 teams. That is a task that took countless hours and it was a true labor of love to get the league up to speed, setting a uniform standard which has our teams looking like an NFL league as close as possible to the real thing as we could get. We have some more great Pro Bowl records over the years. Miami's Mercury Morris and Washington's Tony Green are tied for the most all-time Pro Bowl touchdowns with four. And last season of course, who could forget Ahmad Bradshaw's 100-yard kick return blazing into the endzone to defeat the AFC 21-14 was a BUZZ! We haven't repeated Gerald Riggs name so much until this Atlanta team won the Super Bowl this season. But deservedly so. Riggs has so many great plastic players who are just as legendary in this league competing against him. Detroit's Dexter Bussey, Washington's Tony Green, Miami's Mercury Morris, Indy's Joseph Addai, Green Bay's Terdell Middleton, Kansas City's Priest Holmes, and Dallas Cowboys Emmitt Smith, to mention a few. The list goes on out of our 352 player league. There are 30 more great backs and receivers in our league that we don't want ignored, but we listed all of their stats on our LIEFL Leaderboard article on the Tudor Forum weeks ago, posting weekly leaders, and at the conclusion of each week during the seven games each team played in the regular season. Today, we also announced our 2023 TOP Ten LIEFL Power Rankings, based on how the coaches see the top ranked teams in the league. We had our last meeting of the season until the LIEFL March NEW PLAYER BASE DRAFT. That annual draft has made the league intensely competitive! Because one our friends from the Forum, we are considering drafting some ITZ bases to give them a test run in the LIEFL, but everything gets voted on by the coaches. We haven't read yet that people are raving about the bases. In particular we are seeking three to five running backs in the draft, and a good 10-15 linebackers. Our league is stacked with talent man-for-man. We will see if they outperform some of the vetted animals in the LIEFL, as long as they are the same weight. That's the talk of the league buzzing around at the moment other than Johnny-Freeport's huge win over Ed Viggs. 2023 LIEFL TOP TEN POWER Rankings 1.-Atlanta Falcons (9-2) (83-94 #14 All-Time) Johnny-Freeport 2023 Super Bowl XVIII Champion 2. -Los Angeles Chargers (8-2) (101-77 #6 All-Time) Ed Viggs 3. -Indianapolis Colts (8-2) (85-96 #13 All-Time) Joe Bino 4. -Carolina Panthers (8-3) (45-40 #28 All-Time) Matt Zoo-York 2022 Super Bowl XVII Champion 5. -Washington Redskins (7-1) (116-72 #2 All-Time) Ed Viggs 6. -Miami Dolphins (6-3) (165-43 #1 All-Time) Joe Bino/Billy O'C 7. -Chicago Bears (5-4) (102-74 #5 All-Time) Paddy Brannigan -Dallas Cowboys (5-3) (97-84 #7 All-Time) Levi Vick 8. -LA Rams (6-2) (97-91 #8 All Time) Joe Bino/Billy O'C 9. -Baltimore Ravens (4-5) (43-29 #29 All-Time) Johnny-Freeport -Buffalo Bills (5-3) (88-84 #12 All-Time) Joe Bino 10.-Denver Broncos (6-2) (114-70-1 #3 All-Time) Paddy Brannigan -Green Bay Packers(4-4) (108-87 #4 All-Time) Ed Viggs The talking doesn't end for Coach Johnny-Freeport, our recent $3200 dollar LIEFL-Super Bowl X V I I I Winner. He said in his jive talk, "My man, always remember, content is KING baby! I put that bing-bing, ching-ching right in da' bank and Booyah to all of you fools in the league who doubted me! Imma take dat cash next year too! My "Dirty Birds" awakened the league! These coaches in the LIEFL need a beating every so often, and I am just the guy who can do it. I am the league enforcer. Never disturb a sleeping GIANT! Viggy had me dead-to-rights, and he blew it! Viggy is the guy Levi Vick brags about who has such a great mind for football. He ain't the only one baby! Viggy thinks like a QB, I think DE! I gave a bruising-beaten to the ugly deficient Chargers and their Pretty Boy coach, Viggy! I am your reality Baby! The same jive I used to tell people on the streets. I ain't being disrespected dog, just don't be barking up the wrong tree because I bite, sting, and do whatever it takes to win baby! Respect all, FEAR NONE!" That's the full quote! Oh man. Hollywood is missing out on a legitimate star in the 6'4 250 pound Johnny-Freeport. It is hard to not stop laughing with this crazed New Yorker. You can hear Johnny-Freeport in the 2017 Super Bowl when the Buffalo Bills and OJ Simpson beat the pants off of Freeport's 2016 defending Super Bowl Champion Detroit Lions 49-35! The Video is on YOUTUBE. Boy did Johnny-Freeport get tamed and shut down by Billy O'C in that game. Coach Bobby Biggs said (Laughing), "Johnny is worse than Muhammed Ali. He never stops. He wants to go play a game of hard-hitting sandlot football with all of us with no pads." Sounds negative, but while it may pain people in the league to see Freeport Ranked #1 this season, Johnny-Freeport sees things differently! He put up the competition, and he will be back for one more final season after putting his mula where his mouth is. Viggs sid, "Alright then." Coach Paddy Brannigan said, "Let him treasure the moment until next season. He won fair and square." On to the Pro Bowl! The NFC stars are ready! Falcons running back Gerald Riggs (Photo Left) broke the league record for the longest rushing play from scrimmage in a LIEFL- SUPER BOWL, with a 66-yard scamper against the Chargers in LIEFL Super Bowl X V I I I, breaking LA Rams Wendell Tyler's two 61-yard runs in LIEFL-Super Bowl XV against Miami in 2019. Previously Gerald Riggs also set an LIEFL record for the longest rushing play from scrimmage in the NFC Wild Card Game against Green Bay with his 89 yard run in Atlanta's thumping of the Packers 24-14! Unreal! That record stood for forty years in the league. Tyler broke New Orleans Saints Tony Galbreath's 60-yard run against Miami in LIEFL-Super Bowl V, in 1979! MORE INTERESTING LIEFL BACK HISTORY ON ITS FOUNDER: A little more back history if you like history. Humbly speaking, no league in the world has the historic records to the depth that we do in electric football, and that is how rich in history our LIEFL goes. Can you imagine, by fate, after Billy O'C's Cubano older cousin Julio in Miami, walked O'C onto the FIELD of the Orange Bowl in 1972, O'C fell in love, not even fully understanding the magnitude that one of the greatest NFL teams, the Miami Dolphins, 17-0, had the perfect season playing so many games on that field! In those days the community could walk on the field, you just weren't allowed in the locker room or behind the scenes. Billy O'C said, "It was the greatest, most memorable vacation my parents ever took us on. Running on that field can be a lasting memory, and my cousin knew so many people, including people who cleaned the stadium." Professor O'C continued, "We had nothing! But my father settled a lawsuit after he lost his right side as a SWAT team NYPD officer in Emergency Service Elite Unit in New York City saving lives. He put his family first, treating us to a one-time amazing dream vacation, and we didn't even do Disney. It's the first time we met the Cuban side of our family. My dad made that vacation happen after Doctors gave him the wrong drug that "Officer Dan as we called him" turned out being allergic to, which caused a deadly infection that nearly killed him. Imagine, the man worked another 25 years as a cop after being hospitalized for nearly 8 months, and he never complained. He was too busy supporting six kids on his tiny salary. We hardly saw the man. Here we were growing up playing electric football, and if you know anything about crumbling down New York in the 60's and 70's, the Bronx was literally burning down, and crime was out of control in New York City. It was as bad as it is today, maybe worse. The 44. Caliber Killer David Berkowitz, "Son of Sam" was haunting the streets of New York, holding the City hostage. That is where my father worked for 30 years. My dad used to tell me, 'Most people are good people' but there's always a very small part of the population that does bad things to people, and they're are people from all walks of life who commit crimes.' And this man, Officer Dan, never, ever showed any kind of bias toward anyone. I Hate labels and ignorant stereotypes! He was a great teacher. He was a man's man and well educated at Fordham University in the Bronx, and he grew up on the streets of Harlem. He would give the shirt off the his back to you. It didn't matter if you were black, white, green or alien. He respected all people and taught us to be the same way. I am the same way in my profession. Nobody knew the streets like my father. He was the best New York City tour guide a person could know. Officer Dan defied the odds of ignorance. He never played one game of electric football with me, but Mom was a different story. I could tell a hundred more incredible stories, but I don't want to bore people, so we will leave it there," O'C Told LIEFL-ELECTRIC FOOTBALL NATION. We have been asked many times to be interviewed by the largest Long Island Newspaper, but because of people's public professions in the LIEFL, they don't want to be interviewed. We put out there what we choose to put out there, specialized for this TUDOR FORUM, where people understand the game. Imagine, Billy O'C had the savvy with his mind as a kid, to save all the records from the league's inauguration (See Below). He has an entire heavy bin full dating back to 1975 of all original documents, now converted into thousands of documents and stored in his historic hard drive. Useless to our readers but to us ... Invaluable! The details are incredible and the imagination of the kids had growing up is commendable. In fact, it is nothing short of fascinating! Organized Records for kids, and comparisons is how we have gotten to the competitive point we are at now in the LIEFL. Because we have records to Chase. That's what makes the league profound. History! We are not ignorant enough to claim we have the best league, but we are damned competitive. And we have a huge collection of game boards in pristine condition. One of the games we bought in an eBay auction that is in great shape, sold by a man whose father had it resting in his basement in untouched condition when he died, is amazing. We were flawed! National Electric Football Game Museum NEFGM Founder Chris LeMay, would be able to tell us more about that pictures #6-7 game. Many of these games are intended to be turned over to, and donated to the Museum to raise money for the museum's HOME. We are keeping them in storage. How about that for history! Please share your history stories! In picture #6 and #7, that playing field with (Eagles, Packers, Rams, 49ers, Lions) is amazing, and in pristine almost brand new condition even with the aged box, it was stored in a dry environment like all of our game boards. We put the leveler on the field, and it's in perfect shape. We never used the game, just turned it on to hear the Rolls-Royce motor-purr of the board! The other games are all in perfect condition and sitting in a closet in a climate controlled environment. The Rose Bowl Game is the Game the Pro Bowl will be played on. We used the fans from the Stadium to build one of the new stadiums we use as the "Main LIEFL Field"! We have vintage games galore, all in terrific shape and amazing working condition along with many games coaches in the league have donated to the league. The boxes may be a little beat up, but the games ... Forget about it! LOL! NFC WILLIE GAULT BLAZE TO VICTORY ON LAST PLAY OF GAME IN PRO BOWL! Chicago Bears Willie Gault (83) blazed into the endzone on a 61-yard bomb thrown by Coach Joey Pizz to give the NFC a stunning win on the last play of the 2023 Pro Bowl! Gault was named PRO BOWL MVP with three touches for 198 all-purpose yards, including the 61 yard touchdown romp you see in the photo! KICK OFF: Played on the Rose Bowl Game Board, Pasadena , California. AFC and Buffalo Bills leading LIEFL Kick Return leader Jay Brown ran the ball back 50-yards to kick off the 2023 Pro Bowl game! Brown was hit hard by John Lynch of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at midfield. On first down, the AFC front three blew open a huge hole on the three spot and Indianapolis Colts and LIEFL Offensive Player of the Year Joseph Addai, blazed 40-yards downfield to the 10 yard line for the first down for the AFC. One play later, Addai exploded into the end zone for the first touchdown of the game for the AFC 7-0, with 15:34 remaining in the half. We play two 20 minute halves in the Pro Bowl in a 40-minute game. Who said the LIEFL AFC is better? Chicago Bears Willie Gault returned an electrifying 91-yard run on the opening kickoff for the NFC. This game is going to be a fast paced game! In one play, Atlanta Falcons star and Super Bowl XVIII MVP Gerald Riggs followed his teammate Bill Fralic,who opened the hole for Riggs, to get into the end zone and right when Riggs went to the plain of the endzone he was blasted by AFC Las Vegas Raiders Dave Casper as Riggs went in for the score to tie the game NFC 7 AFC 7, with 12:06 remaining in the half! On the AFC's next drive, this time it was Pittsburgh Steelers Lynn Swann running backed an electrifying 61-yard kick return to the NFC 39-yard line. One play later, Kansas City Chiefs running back Priest Holmes picked up a first down, but he was clobbered by Dallas Cowboys lineman Larry Allen and NY Giants star Ahmad Bradshaw along with Minnesota Vikings Tackle Carl Eller for the NFC who all participated in the tackle, with Holmes taking the ball to the 29-yard line of the NFC with 8:35 left in the half. The AFC worked the clock, and Indianapolis Colts Joseph Addai again, ran for a BIG 24-yard first down on the first play in the AFC second series, but Addai was slammed on the next first down play by New York Giants Ahmad Bradshaw again, who ended up in the backfield to make the play. After Kansas City's Priest Holmes was stopped on second down, the AFC Coach Joe Bino threw a rocket to Las Vegas Raiders Dave Casper who broke free on the left side of the field and into the end zone for a 27-yard touchdown score to make the score 14-7, with the AFC in the lead with 1:09 remaining in the half. Time for the NFC to rev it up! It was Chicago Bears Willie Gault who ran back a beautiful 46-yard kick return. And the ball changed hands to Seattle Seahawks star running back Marshawn Lynch, and Gerald Riggs left the game. Lynch was Lynch! He ran for an 11-yard first down on the first play of the drive. Then, he had a 22-yard run into the open field and made it to the sideline. On the next run, Lynch exploded 16-yards to the AFC 14-yard line, with 14:38 remaining in the game. The NFC kept the ball moving. Both All-Star teams played really well on offense. On the NFC's first down again, Marshawn Lynch Seattle Seahawks star, was shut down at the 14-yard line, and dragged back three yards to the 17-yard line of the AFC. But on the next play, it was Lynch again, running right, then he was turned left by his own man, and finally, Lynch ran to the center of the field and into the end zone for a beautiful speedy touchdown, with 11:41 remaining in the game as the NFC tied the score, with the AFC 14-14! The AFC chose Las Vegas Raiders Dave Casper to return the next kick off and Casper ran it back 45 yards. On first down, the AFC put the ball back in Indy's Joseph Addai's hands, who exploded for a 31 yard first down run to the NFC's 24-yard line, with 7:59 remaining in the game on a gorgeous play by Addai. Addai has a respectable 106 rushing yards in the game. What a player! After being stopped on two runs, the AFC with time running out after using up the clock, were forced into a fourth down passing situation. Coach Bino tried to hit Joseph Addai who broke open on the right side of scrimmage, but he ran so fast that he was in the endzone 39-yard yards away. Bino missed the pass, incomplete. The ball was turned back over to the NFC by the AFC, and instead of going for the field goal, with the score tied 14-14 with time running out after the AFC killed the clock, Coach Bino missed out on the sure three points. Bino went for it all! The NFC got the ball back with 1:35 remaining in the game in another nail biter! Both teams were set and BOOM! On the right side of the field, Willie Gault broke free like Houdini blazing 61-yards into the endzone on a great pass by Coach Joy Pizz, for the game winning touchdown for the NFC, 21-14! Lights out! He's been doing it all year long Willie Gault! What a game! Same score as least year's game! The Pro-Bowl MVP goes to Chicago Bears Willie Gault! Gault finished the game with three touches for 198 all-purpose yards with the game winning touchdown! Unbelievable!

THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE LIEFL WILL BRAWL ON SUNDAY IN THE PRO*BOWL! 2022 Pro Bowl MVP and LIEFL Player of the Year New York Giants superstar Ahmad Bradshaw, showed his worth in the LIEFL All-Star game on this 100-yard touchdown return untouched, to give the NFC the win 21-14! Written By Levi Vick, Joey Pizz, and Kevin Mack, with contributions by Billy O'C. The LIEFL Pro Bowl is a proud game that will be played Sunday January 7, 2024! The AFC will wear their dark jerseys and the NFC will wear white this Pro Bowl. The game represents the 22 best plastic players in the league, voted on by the LIEFL Coaches as we head into our final season as a league. This is a time to reflect on another great season. We finished strong as a league this year, and the heart and soul of the league is LIEFL Founder Billy O'C, but he is locked into his B A T B O Y New York Yankees Documentary on Ray Negron, so he can't give any time, but we love the league as much as him. A few words about O'C. He is the guy, who from the time we were kids, was the leader in the neighborhood. He was the organizer, and the best at it. These days, to get grown men to still play this hobby at this level, like your league's, is unbelievable! We say your leagues because from what we have had time to read on the Tudor Forum, the LIEFL is just a tiny part of the electric football hobby. So many of the coaches on the Tudor Forum, globally, have been so innovative. They have contributed so much to this hobby and we are so thankful that fifty years later, here we all are relishing the great American tradition of Electric Football from our childhoods. From under the Christmas tree to the table, this hobby is still alive. Like the Beatles, our hobby will never die! In the LIEFL, to stick together, to commit to a game with plastic soldiers, amazes us. Great rules, the coaches, the dues, the high-stakes $payout to the Super Bowl Winner ... Electric Football! Levi Vick said, "In my personal experience as a third year coach playing in the LIEFL, this is a world way beyond Tudor and Miggle. They provided the tools, we are the society of Dreamers who make electric football great! We can't ignore the historic value of all of the people who have made a difference in the hobby. There are so many great leagues out there, even solitaire leagues that I've read about in the Forums, and whatever works for that league or person is great because it makes their leagues great. I would love to read more on the Forums about more league who actually play a full season. I played in a whole different league prior to the LIEFL, and the speed, the time management under pressure, the movement on the board, the split second decisions without long delays, is as realistic as it gets in the LIEFL. When O'C leaves us we have to start over, but I plan on having my own league or a Solitaire League if I have to. This Forum encouraged me to get my previous league to join the Forum as well." Rookie LIEFL Coach Bobby Biggs said, "I haven't talked much about the league, but I would say that the continuity and the pace of the game so far in my experience, is unmatched. In the LIEFL we don't get to pivot and turn players around to chase players, play with dice, stop the game three or four times, do countdowns to set up in this one-stop league, and there's nothing wrong with that. We just don't do it. I respect all league rules, but this 67-BIG MAN league is beast! In live games they don't get to even stop the game in real life games, or let your receivers touch a ball target for pass plays in the middle of the field for a completion. That's what makes this league fiercely competitive. I made lots of mistakes, but next year I am coming back for the kill. Coach Billy O'C said, he is going to add the Colts to my teams, and he will coach the Seahawks. As a coach we have to be a skilled passer and coordinate the plays. As coaches, we are doing all the executing. When I saw guys like coach Viggs hit people with that Yellow Tudor Passer from 30, 40 yards out, I was hooked on having the skill set." LIEFL Super Bowl XVIII Champion Coach Johnny-Freeport added, "In this league, you are the coach, you are the quarterback throwing the passes with the Yellow Tudor Kicker/QB, and you are the man behind the magic as the players do their expected and placed jobs. Five to seven basic plays can win a Super Bowl. I have played many fancy coaches with great plays, but none have matched the tempo of a running coach who can neutralize a game. Stop my special teams, passing game, and running game!" Can defense win a game? We can all share opinions on that one. Of great importance worth the dialogue is just how important preserving this electric football hobby is. This ideology starts with the Tudor Games Forum, HUB CENTRAL for electric football. Without Tudor and the Forum, this game could go mute. Now EF enthusiasts have a central source to visit on Tudor Forum to learn about the game, board purchases, leagues, new innovative uniforms, painting, decaling, and a professional array of merchandise that has reshaped the game. For the LIEFL through the Tudor Forum we have connected with some of the great minds and next generation of metal board pioneers of the game. Really one of the turning points for information on the Tudor Forum came via The National Electric Football Game Museum, Founded by Chris LeMay. LeMay has been the source of historic information regarding the hobby and to us, he is considered one of the foremost resources preserving the hobby in the world, but he is often overlooked. More important, what we appreciate about his efforts is, his work within the EF community. He has a great Facebook page for electric football which is very connected to the electric football global community. He is doing something about the hobby! www.facebook.com/NEFGM LeMay's Facebook page is loaded with valuable information, great posts, pictures, and other historic information. He was the first that we know of who cared enough to dig in and acknowledge leagues around the world, and in the United States, including our beloved LIEFL to try to preserve history, even more than Tudor Games themselves. Electric football should be VERY exciting with what BEENUT is expected do for electric football as well. He'll have all the Tudor magical secrets and make decisions to build a magical electric football future. Give Bryan Nutt time, and he will collaborate with the core of EF Ballers who have the skillset to take the game into the future. LIEFL Commissioner Billy O'Connell said, "When Chris LeMay invited me to be a Board member to the Museum, I was so honored. To be a part of the game's preservation is the ultimate reward playing in and preserving the hobby. There is such rich history about electric football. The whole story about Norm Sas, our Founding Father of EF, and the magnitude of where the game is today is fascinating. What the LIEFL loves is that Chris has linked a global culture of electric football enthusiasts and he has tunneled them directly into the Tudor Forum so that we can expand the hobby for all to love." LeMay is a distinguished member of the electric football community acting as a volunteer liaison to the hobby dedicating his love for the game. A little more below on the NEFGM ...

National Electric Football Game Museum Board Member, William O'Connell said, "I tied back some of my greatest memories of my childhood to electric football. I don't even know how my mother afforded the game with six children, but as an international athlete herself, she must have recognized its innovation, and as a way to keep us busy, she taught us how to play. We were hooked! Then the neighborhood had different versions of the game before my mom even bought our game, but even before that I was introduced to electric football by my friend Gus Calvo, who had the Cleveland Browns against someone, I don't remember, but I was fascinated. Joey Pizz had the Coleco Game electric football version, Ed Viggs had the best version of the 600-Board, and with discovery, we all collaborated to form the LIEFL. Then Joe Bino got involved with his own Illinois Avenue League using the 600 series game board. We would play our champions against his, until finally we collaborated as well in the LIEFL forming. We didn't have much growing up with all these kids in the house, but our parents did something right, they bought this game. At times, it seemed that playing electric football and sports, was the only place to go to find happiness in our own world." If you feel compelled to be a greater part of preserving electric football history and E L E C T R I C F O O T B A L L N A T I O N, please consider donating from your heart, a $dollar or two to contribute to building a REAL museum. We NEED and appreciate any help, ideas, and contributions to make this happen. We are determined to see this plan through. This is our community, your community, and Tudor's community to expand the hobby and preserve its great tradition and history. The museum is a non-for profit who can be reached in writing at: https://nefgm.org/donate/ We will also be starting a GoFundMe page soon with proceeds going toward the museum. To kick this off, the LIEFL donated $100! The LIEFL Tournament of Champions and Super Bowl XVIII this year was incredible. We think it was the most competitive tournament in our history as a league, but it also opened our eyes to how hard it is for a team to make the Super Bowl in a 32-team 67-BIG MEN league. We are using the Tudor TTC and Rookie bases, and have been for 50 years. We do so much vetting out of literally thousands of new and leftover player bases until we find the right chemistry, and that is the biggest challenge because unless we press through each base, we never know which base will be the next star. We take our best-of-best existing star player bases and put them up against new bases so that we set a standard. That is one of the reasons why we aren't seeing many repeat Champions, because the league continues to evolve. Hundreds and hundreds of bases are useless and unproductive, and out 100 player bases, if we are lucky, maybe 10 have potential. Then we have players like Falcons Austin Hooper who had a brand new player base that performed with the best of them. It's a process. We too have master tweakers who have nothing to do with Tudor and or the former Miggle games, they just don't want to be mentioned. It's what works for this league that matters. This March 2024, will be our last ever Draft. In this league, like most leagues and tournaments under the microscope, all of our coaching flaws get put out there, and in the big games even the best coaches learn that there is always somebody better, unless you're Johnny-Freeport of the LIEFL. He really thinks he is all that. For this season, okay, he backed all his talk up, but there are millions of coaches out there in the world who play electric football. He was simply put, magical, with his Falcons! They played better against every great team and they had a great tournament. He took the best coach in the league to the final seconds and came out the winner. We can't knock that. Today, NFC Offensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl XVIII MVP Gerald Riggs (PRO BOWL 2022 Photo of #42 Riggs left), will be the NFC starting running back! This guy has been running up the yardage since he's been playing in the LIEFL. Atlanta is a team that really was the Cinderella Wild Card team who caught the wave and drowned all the BIG teams who were the "Who's Who" of the LIEFL. In this game Riggs will run behind a wall of beasts which are right up his alley. Having guys like Larry Allen-Dallas, Bill Fralic-Atlanta, and Dave Butz-Washington in front of Riggs, means lots of yards. Riggs and Marshawn Lynch in the backfield ... The two combined have 3416 all-purpose yards with 25 touchdowns this season! Forget about it! The NFC All-Stars won last year on the play of the LIEFL PLayer of the Year Ahmad Bradshaw of the Giants. Bradshaw had another great year for the Giants, and he'll be in this Pro Bowl as well! NFC FIRST TEAM ALL-PRO ALL*STARS FIRST TEAM STARTERS: L-DAL-Larry Allen, L-WAS-Dave Butz, L-ATL-Bill Fralic, T-MIN-Carl Eller-9, T-DET-Lomas Brown-10, LB-WAS-LaVar Arrington-4, LB-TB John Lynch-6, RB-SEA-Marshawn Lynch 55-1675-14/3X100TD, RB-ATL-Gerald Riggs 68-1741-11/3X100TD, WR-TB-Jimmie Giles 25-1340-6/4X100TD, WR-CHI-Willie Gault 23-1350-7/4X100TD, SPECIAL-NYG-Ahmad Bradshaw 21-1345- 5/5x100TDS, WAS-Tony Green 51-1589-11/8x100TD. The NFC Reserves are: DAL-Emmitt Smith, Terrell Owens, CHI-Walter Payton, Steve McMichael, Don Hampton, DET-Dexter Bussey, PHI-Harold Carmichael, ATL-Terrance Pennington, Julio Jones, Mike Kenn, NYG-Lawrence Taylor, GB-Cullen Jenkins, Sterling Sharpe, Terdell Middleton, CAR-Kevin Greene, DeShaun Foster, Kawaan Short, LAR-Jackie Slater, Isaac Bruce, NO-Reggie Bush, and WAS-Charles Mann, Dexter Manley. The AFC All-Stars feature their own warriors to face this tough NFC team. Leading the way will be Indianapolis Colts star #29 Joseph Addai, who fell just short of making Super Bowl XVIII, losing in the AFC Championship Game to the Los Angeles Chargers, but maybe next year will be Addai's year? Indy has to keep banging on the door until they knock it down! This guy tore up the AFC with 1,767 all-purpose yards with 12 touchdowns. He killed it in an intense competitive league! The record for a seven-game EFL season was set in 2019 by Gerald Riggs. Riggs had 78 touches for 2339 all-purpose yards, with 21 touchdowns. How did the Falcons not make the show? The tough guys in front of Addai are Earl Faison-Los Angeles, Karl Mecklenburg-Denver, and Larry Little-Miami, and running side-by-side with Addai is Kansas City's Priest Holmes who was the LIEFL leader in rushing with 39 Carries for 682 yards, with 11 touchdowns! The game board used will be the ROSE BOWL classic electric football game board. We will see how that goes. The LIEFL has a good 10 game boards, but our favorite is the MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL game board, which we no longer possess. We plan on donating as many of these as we can to the Museum. Bring back the vintage Boards Tudor! We don't mind paying for excellent quality. The game is scheduled for Sunday, again at Johnny-Freeport's who will host the Pro Bowl Game between AFC Coach Joe Bino, and NFC Coach Joey Pizz! AFC FIRST TEAM ALL-PRO PRO BOWL FIRST TEAM STARTERS ARE: L- MIA-Larry Little, L-DEN-Karl Mecklenburg, L-LAC-Earl Faison, T-CIN-Trey Hopkins-9, T-BAL-Tony Siragusa-8, LB-IND-Robert Mathis-6, LB-BUF-Preston Brown-4, RB-IND-Joseph Addai 64-1767-12/100TD, 99, RB- KC-Priest Holmes 39-682-11/59, WR-BUF-Jay Brown 21-1409-6/6X100TD, WR-PITT-Lynn Swann 27-1524-8/5X100TDS, SPECIAL-LVR-Dave Casper 27-1471-6/3X100TD. AFC RESERVES ARE: MIA-Jason Taylor, Mercury Morris, Mark Duper, BUF-Marcell Dareus, OJ Simpson, JAC-Tony Boselli, Fred Taylor, DEN-Terrell Davis, Von Miller, Ed McCaffrey, LAC-LaDainian Tomlinson, Louie Kelcher, KC-Herb Taylor, Tyreek Hill, NE-Randy Moss, BAL-Derrick Mason, NYJ-Le'Veon Bell, HOU-Ron Dayne, Ryan Griffin and IND-Elmer Collett. NEVER LOSE THE CHILD INSIDE OF YOU!

LOVE THIS! That is correct just two teams make the show, and love the 9X FB Shamrock Bay team! Three wins is great! Did you do write ups? Maybe I missed them now that I have been a new contributor to the Forum, taking over for Billy O'C. Love to read more about them, those classic teams who outplay everyone are few and far between. Shamrock Bay reminds me of the LIEFL Dolphins, and although this is only my third season in the LIEFL, next year will be the last. Are these player figures 67-Big Men in the Fruit Bowl? Viggs is the man! But he will have to listen to the loudest mouth in the league in Freeport for some time. We will see Sunday, LOL! Levi

You blew the views up! Thank you so much! Makes us feel like we wrote for someone! Magical!

That is so awesome!Thank you so much! We noticed a huge uptick of 110 views on the LIEFL Super Bowl PREGAME! That was beautiful and your work on the Forum is fabulous! That was a HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEE increase. We just want people to read so that the hobby stays alive!!! We cannot thank you enough! We have to see if someone in our league has FB, but because many have or had public jobs, I am not sure if they have FB. Bless You!

Long Island EFL: S U P E R B O W L X V I I I D e c e m b e r 31, 2023 "WE ARE KIDS, WE ARE ALWAYS DREAMERS INSIDE, WE WILL ALWAYS BE KIDS INSIDE"... Billy O'C Atlanta Falcons (8-2) Los Angeles Chargers (8-1) (Long Island EFL Super Bowl XVIII). December 31, 2023 by Levi Vick. We gave Jim Brown a nice tribute this season because of his greatness and contributions to the game of football, and also, because Brown was a native Long Islander, who grew up in Manhasset, NY. Before today's LIEFL Super Bowl we also reminisced and gave a fond acknowledgement to the late, great, Oakland Raiders Coach John Madden. Long Island Sports Hall of Fame Inductee, and All-County Wrestler and former Bay Shore High School football player, Andrew M. Slawson said, "Madden has a winning percentage of .759 for his career, the highest among coaches to win their first 100 wins coaching, according to Pro Football Reference. He won 100 games faster than any coach in the NFL, including Vince Lombardi, who finished #2 at (105-35-6). Madden finished his NFL coaching career at (103-32-7)!" By the age of 42, Madden claimed to stop coaching because of BURNOUT and an ulcer condition he had. At his announcement to retire he left no speculation saying,“I gave it everything I have and just don't have anything left,” he told reporters, adding, “I'm retiring from football coaching, and I'm never going to coach again in my life." But wasn't he some commentator? As America's greatest football teacher, John Madden got into broadcasting only because he was bored. But, he became the greatest football broadcaster of All-Time! Madden won 16-Emmy Awards and earned a hefty $8 million annually after becoming the first broadcaster to earn $1 million dollars a year. America couldn't get enough of Madden and in the living room he sat well in millions of homes as family gathered around to listen to his commentary. His X's and O's of the game, which taught us a greater depth of football and what professional athletes endure in such a violent game. Nobody called a game like Madden! When XBox used Madden's name to represent the game, we never gave up on electric football! Rather than compete with video games we collaborated and shared our love for both. Our generation of the 1960's fell in love with electric football because of the heroes we watched on television turned into the heroes we played on our metal boards! Electric football to us, is the pioneer of this great innovation. TRADITION BEFORE THE GAME: Before we begin this enormous-magnitude game, our LIEFL Super Bowl's have a tradition out of respect for our teams and the 22 67-Big Men on the field. Commissioner Billy O'C's rules. Everything is in order. We wash our hands thoroughly, dip all 22-player bases in water, dry them out on a paper towel, touch up with any scuffed players with paint, any players who look worn through the season, and then we wash the field, first with hot water, then with rubbing alcohol to ensure that no lint particles are on the field. We aim for perfection out of more respect for the hobby and the teams. Finally, we place 10 vintage style brand new foam footballs to the side. Three footballs are Brown, (Inked by a Brown Sharpie) made to look like a real football, and the remainder are what we use for passing and kicking in the game. LIEFL Super Bowl X V I I I !The Falcons won the coin toss and they choose to defer the ball to the Chargers who will receive the opening kickoff. Atlanta will receive the ball to start the second half, as has been Johnny-Freeport's strategy in this high-stakes $3200 dollar game saved up from the league dues annually and a major contribution from our sponsor, a real life two-time World Champion Swimmer. The check is ready to be presented! The Falcons will wear their choice white jerseys' and the Chargers will wear gorgeous dark Jersey. This game is a big DEAL! Johnny Freeport invited a house full of people. We placed posters on the wall, cleaned up, and we are ready for the MAIN EVENT with the water in view! The main Stadium was transferred. It has been set up beautifully with one of four sets of lighting we have, which hovers over the game board. Two chairs are placed beside each coach, and let the war begin! Because the Super Bowl is in Vegas, we will make the background Vegas. They walked through #4 Green Bay beating them 24-14, they marched through #1 Washington 30-24, and they stormed through #3 Carolina 59-50, so why would we bet against Atlanta? It's not because of the team, it's because of the coach but Johnny-Freeport, no matter what anyone says in this league, he plays to make hi opponents feel that hurt, and when he loses, he is the loudest voice in the LIEFL. Freeport enjoys being the underdog, and he enjoys using his mouthpiece to stir up emotion in the league. Perhaps that's what makes him unique, and maybe that's why this is such a great League. OPENING KICKOFF: Chargers star Lance Alworth returned an electrifying and buzzing opening kickoff to start LIEFL Super Bowl X V I I I in fashion! Alworth, with lightning speed Lance Alworth ran the opening kickoff back 54 yards to start the game. LaDainian Tomlinson and the Chargers Frontline went to work on first down with a 9-yard pickup followed by a first down with Tomlinson getting the yard. On second down, he ran for six but was shut down on 3rd down after Johnny-Freeport moved his Falcons around on defense. The three linemen made a tackle each in Bill Fralic, Claude Humphrey, and Raymond Claiborne. But on third down Lance Alworth escaped on a 40-yard pass play down the left sideline to give the Chargers the first LIEFL Super Bowl XVIII touchdown and a 7-0 lead! The place is going wild with quite a few people here! It was time for Gerald Riggs and his golden frontline went to get to work on Los Angeles. Riggs was crashed at the 34 yard line by who else? Lance Alworth who just scored the touchdown for Chargers! On first down, Chargers defensive end LIEFL-All Pro Earl Faison rushed through the middle and made a big tackle! On second down, Gerald Riggs ran a 66-yard run from scrimmage to the one yard line of the Chargers and that ended the first quarter! To begin the second quarter, Riggs bullied his way into the end zone for the Falcons first touchdown to tie the score at 7-7! This time the Chargers handed the ball to Sir Kellen Winslow who returned the ball 42 yards! On first down LaDainian Tomlinson exploded for 37 yards. On second down, Tomlinson picked up five more against the relentless Dirty Bird Falcons posse' defense. The front lines are about an even matchup in the trenches. On third down, coach Viggs threw a beautiful pop-pass to Tomlinson, and Tomlinson curved into the end zone to give the Chargers the lead 14-7, with 6:18 remaining in the half! And what has turned into more of a defensive game the Falcons have to work fast and kill the clock. Gerald Riggs ran back of 55 yard kick return to the Los Angeles 45 yard line. On first down Riggs was stopped, and on second down he was denied again by a relentless Chargers defense. With time running down on the clock the Falcons and Johnny-Freeport connected with his new favorite Target Austin Cooper who ran 36 yards for the first down to the 11 yard line of the Los Angeles, and the Falcons called their first time out with 1:09 remaining in the half! There have been great strategies by both teams and this one is going to be tough with 1:09. Do you run the ball, or do you pass the ball so that you can continue to kill the clock and leave the Chargers with no time left? After running one-yard on first down, the Falcons called their last time out, leaving :57 seconds left in the quarter, enough for one more try for Los Angeles to score. WOW! It's game on! Atlanta receiver and the LIEFL receiving champion Julio Jones, broke free at the 11 yard line, and Johnny-Freeport hit him immediately over the line after Jones broke free to tie the score 14-14, with :47 seconds left forcing the Chargers to take their first time out. This next run back is so important for Sir Kellen Winslow. Both of these teams are hitting hard and fast! The Chargers called the last time out. Unexpectedly, on the pick up play, coach Viggs made a huge mistake. He took his eye off the ball and Deion Sanders made a huge sack for a big loss on the quarterback at the Chargers own 24-yard line and the clock ran out with a tie score, 14-14! Johnny-Freeport has played flawless in the game so far. The Falcons will receive the ball to start the second half! Johnny-Freeport is going wild! $3200 dollars is on the line! That last crucial play was the turning point for the Falcons because it stopped the defense stopped the Los Angeles scoring drive to keep them in the battle, but instead, they couldn't kick a field goal because they were out of range. Viggs tried to stop the game on that play to pass in our one-stop league, but it was too late, Sanders made the hit and Freeport called it clear! In the meantime at the same exact second of the sack, Chuck Muncie broke free on the right side of the field from Austin Cooper in Viggs didn't catch it until it was too late! BAM! The two teams will go into the locker room with the score tied at 14-14. So far for the most part it's been an electrifying game with even matchups, but the Chargers on the front line have a slight edge. They've been able to produce 56 yards in the running game by LaDainian Tomlinson. They've certainly done more damage than Atlanta on special teams. The Chargers have held Gerald Riggs to an astonishing 123 all-purpose yards. Neither defense up until this second have been able to stop each other. Gerald Riggs returned a gorgeous 63 yard kick return to start the third quarter! But here come the Los Angeles Chargers defense led by Russ Washington who wasn't having it. He stopped Riggs for a 2-yard loss on first down, and then another two yards on second down, forcing a third down pass play. On 3rd down, Johnny-Freeport was on the money! He put one of his best men on the right side of the field, Jamal Anderson, hoping that he could break open from linebacker Junior Seau. On another big mistake by Viggs, he put on-on one coverage on Anderson, and Anderson just put on the afterburners and exploded for a 42-yard touchdown to give the Falcons the lead 21-14, with 9:32 remaining in the third quarter! Johnny-Freeport is getting the better of Viggy today! "Yeah baby, all the way, not today Viggy, not in my house," said Freeport! Great play by the Falcons and Freeport! Coach Viggs is not shaken. He has to get this team right back in the game. That is the best way to answer. This time on the Chargers kick returner Lance Alworth ran out of bounds at the Chargers own 25 yard line, failing to get help the offense. But on first down, after gaining only one yard, LaDainian Tomlinson lit it up, exploding on a 26-yard run and then an 18-yard run behind LIEFL-All Pro Earl Faison, ending up at the Falcons 31-yard line! On a game scoring save, with Los Angeles driving, Falcons defender Deon Jones made a great tackle on Tomlinson, with 3:17 remaining in the third quarter, and instead of this game being an offensive explosion, it's been a defensive battle all the way! Sometimes you just got to go with your money man. Ed Viggs is loyal to the players who perform. On the next Chargers offensive play, it was Tomlinson again getting the job done! Tomlinson exploded around the left side for 31 yards sprinting into the end zone through a gap by the Atlanta Falcons and the Chargers tie the war 21-21 with 1:58 remaining in the third quarter! Gerald Riggs, the NFC Offensive Player of the Year in the LIEFL, has had an awesome day returning the football, and it's kept the Falcons in the game, this time with a 52 yard Riggs run to end the third quarter! We have the final 15 minutes in Long Island Electric Football League's Super Bowl X V I I I and its conclusion, with the score tied 21-21. On the first play of the fourth quarter, Gerald Riggs gained three yards. For the most part the Chargers have contained Riggs from making another huge play like he did in the first quarter when Riggs had a blistering 66 yard run on Atlanta's third play of the game. At the line of scrimmage the Los Angeles defense has done a beautiful job holding back one of the most prolific players in the game, but it also says so much about the Chargers defensive line in this league overall. And, the fourth quarter clock is moving. Johnny-Freeport is calling pass. My goodness! Austin Cooper broke away from defender LaDainian Tomlinson on the pass to blaze 56 yards downfield into the end zone to score a Falcons touchdown! Johnny-Freeport is going absolutely wild! The Falcons take the 28-21 lead with 8:26 remaining in the game! WOW! Great call by Johnny-Freeport, taking the ball in the second half and deferring and that's called paying dues! If he wins, he's not going to let Coach Viggs live this down, but he certainly will walk away with $3,200 dollars in his pocket! What an exciting play by Freeport, choosing the right player to become the playmaker. Hooper has has a fantastic tournament! Los Angeles put the ball in reliable Sir Kellen Winslow's hands who stormed back with a 77-yard Chargers kick return on the next play as the game picked up its Pace again. Again, the defense continued to press for both teams! Two runs by LaDainian Tomlinson gained back a few yards for Los Angeles after the seven yard loss with the ball at the Falcons 27-yard line, chewing up the clock, with 5:41 remaining in the game! More clock eating with more running from Viggs and his (8-1) AFC Champion Chargers. On a third down play for Coach Viggs coming up, it pressured Viggs under the stress of managing the clock, to make another big call, forcing the Falcons to call a timeout this time, with 1:04 remaining in the game from the 5-yard line of the Atlanta. Strategy right to the last seconds of the game. Coach Viggs did not stop the clock! He made the Falcons call their timeouts and try to drown them out in an extremely stressful situation, trying to edge the game into overtime. On the next play, LaDainian Tomlinson broke free, just breaking the plain of the endzone, touching the line of the endzone to tie the game at 28-28, with just :28 seconds left to go in the game! Oh My God! The Los Angeles Chargers and Coach Viggs still have two-timeouts remaining. And the Falcons call their last time out. If there was any time to be a hero this is the time for Atlanta to step-up by scoring a touchdown to prevent this game from going into overtime! What a game! With :28 seconds left in regulation, Gerald Riggs ran the ball back 91-yards, 9 yards short of their goal, and with the score tied 28-28 if there wasn't enough drama in this finish line, the Falcons had to kick a field goal to take the lead 31-28, and it's not over yet! With 11 seconds left in the game, the Chargers called a time out, and Los Angeles still may get one more chance to score and tie the game, depending on how fast their fastest player can run the ball back! The pressure is on Viggs to make the right call! Viggs picked Sir Kellen Winslow to return the last kick to try to get the game into overtime in a Super Bowl thriller! On the other side of the ball, the Falcons lined-up their fastest players to make a big stop, and to put this game to rest. It's been all strategy right from the start. Both coaches played a spectacular game regardless of the outcome! Winslow gets the call from Viggs! Oh my God! Here we go: Sir Kellen Winslow blasted off from the endzone launch pad to the 50-yard line in 6 seconds! The Chargers accomplish the impossible! They kick the field goal from 50 yards right through the center of the Goal Posts to tie the game, and Oh My God! We are going into overtime! What a historic Super Bowl! WOW! The Chargers win the overtime coin toss! The score is tied, 31-31! So far, neither team has been able to stop each other. The coaching has been spectacular! The Chargers get the football after winning the coin toss! Kellen Winslow and the Chargers explode on an 88 yard kick return by Winslow! What a game, Winslow could have just come close to winning this game, but he fell 12 yards shy! Whoever scores the first touchdown wins the game in first overtime which is ten minutes. If neither team scores, the game goes into another Sudden Death. We will explain the instructions at that point. Both teams get a possession, unless a touchdowns is scored. If the Chargers score touchdown, it's over the only way that this game ends, and if they score a field goal, then Atlanta gets a chance to tie or score a touchdown. It's a thrilling heartbreaker to get one more possession on offense. What a Super Bowl! The atmosphere, the energy, the game, the coaching ... the $$$ ... Electric Football at its best! The last two plays by Kellen Winslow really show why the Chargers have won so many games. They are very tough team to beat, but Atlanta has to be the most badass gritty posse' we've seen in this league in a long time! LaDainian Tomlinson has played great today and the Chargers did a great job containing Gerald Riggs. No more than one 10-minute period will follow a three-minute intermission. Each team must possess, or have the opportunity to possess, the ball. The exception: if the team that gets the ball first scores a touchdown on the opening possession, the game is over! On first down LaDainian Tomlinson was stopped by a brutal and imposing Falcons defense, with nothing but white jerseys coming at them and the Dirty Birds definitely have the same attitude as the coach today. Johnny-Freeport is living through the posse' and he's not going to give up against the Los Angeles Chargers offense! The Bids heit the Chargers in the gut with a loss of 15 yards on that play. Coach Viggs is 22 yards from the end zone and winning Super Bowl XVIII. Johnny-Freeport has to stop this play with 4:48 left in the overtime quarter. Kellen Winslow broke Free on the next play toward the left side of the field, but he went out of bounds toward the end zone, and somehow he turned to the sideline faltering on the play! and Viggs didn't stop! Next he connected with Lance Alworth who picked up nine yards bringing the ball to the 18-yard line of Atlanta. And the Chargers are going to be forced to go for a field goal after coming up short of the first down they needed. Coach Viggs has to really think this out, but being under pressure in the LIEFL posed its problem for Viggs. He doesn't have time. The clock is running and that's the thing about the league forces the coach under pressure to make huge decisions. Viggs does not call his time out, and instead, he's kicking the field goal for the sure three at the 18! That's going to give the Falcons their chance to score. A touchdown would have ended the game. 34-31 Chargers in the lead in a Thriller! After a 53 yard kick return by Gerald Riggs, the Falcons chewed up the clock and took their first time out at 7:55 in the 10 minute period. The Falcons had to work fast. They passed the ball with nobody open, but who broke free? Gerald Riggs, on a risky play Riggs caught a beautifully thrown rocket by Johnny Freeport, bringing the football to the 33-yard line of the Chargers at 8:58, and the Falcons call their last time out of the 10 minute overtime before going to the second sudden death overtime! This game may get tied again. Here we go: Johnny-Freeport called pass, and what a play to end the game! And hold onto your seats! Austin Hooper just broke free at the 33-yard line on a terrific pass by Johnny Freeport who hit him at the 10 yard line on the back, and Hooper sped into the endzone for a game ending dramatic $3200 dollar victory for Johnny-Freeport's Dirty Birds posse!!! It's over! The Chargers fall in one of the greatest LIEFL Super Bowl's of all time! The NFC Wild Card Atlanta Falcons (9-2) win their first ever Super Bowl in a crushing defeat in overtime, literally 9 minutes of overtime! Johnny-Freeport is uncontrollable, going wild with the 36-34 win! What a tough loss for coach Viggs! And it's time for everybody to bow to the mouth of the league as he upsets coach at Viggs, and Viggs had the chance to win the game on the last drive by a touchdown, but LaDainian Tomlinson and the front line could not get the job done in the end. It was an exhausting intense game to the finish! Credit the Falcons defense because they played gigantic today in their victory! Unbelievable! After everybody calmed down. The two key plays of the game where Austin Hoopers 56 yard touchdown play in the second half along with his game-winning touchdown 33 yards! Hooper will share the MVP trophy with Gerald Riggs who was the workhorse for the Falcons in driving the clock entire game for Atlanta! The other keys to the game was the mistakes that a usual assured and competent coach Viggs made in the game. Lance Alworth missed in the big spot. He didn't get the job done, but LaDainian Tomlinson rushed 18 times for 169 rushing yards, with two touchdowns, Tomlinson also had a 17-yard touchdown reception for the Chargers. Sir Kellen Winslow had 318 yards on 6 touches with a Long play of 88 yards on special teams! For the Falcons, Gerald Riggs touched the ball 17 times for 433 yards, but Riggs only had one touchdown, and he had a gorgeous 91 yard kick return when Atlanta needed it most. He was electrifying on special teams. Great defenses kept the game in check and limited Riggs on his 100 yard returns. The hero of the day went to Austin Hooper, who had three receptions for 125 HUGE yards with two touchdowns and that's what did it! Johnny Freeport still going wild with his $3200 check to advance his bank account. What a game. The Falcons totaled 611 yards with 22 touches and five touchdowns. The Chargers finished with 29 touches 632 yards with four touchdowns! Unbelievable season! Coach Johnny Freeport said, "I worked so hard on this team all year long, and I believed in them. Let me tell you I don't think there's another league in the country playing for money, and when you play for money and put everything on the line, your team's have to be able to compete. Viggy is good, but as I've been saying all along I am the go-to guy, and now the GOAT in the league. It's time I get a little respect because to beat Viggy is the greatest compliment that an electric football coach can have. How about those Falcons! Yeah baby!" Ed Viggs said, "We played good, they played great right up until the end when in that last series I blew a couple of plays under pressure. I should have been able to handle that, but I got to shake Johnny-Freeport's hand. He played an amazing tournament and his Falcons and those Dirty Birds came up huge when they needed to. Nothing but respect for Gerald Riggs and the Falcons. And Austin Hooper came out of nowhere. It just goes to show you that every team in this league is armed and ready, and you never know who's going to come up big. We'll be back for one more in August. This Chargers team is one of the best in the league and they are resilient. We will be back again next year." Coach Joey Pizz said, "Everybody is so happy for Gerald Riggs who's been a staple superstar in this league and now finally he has a Super Bowl win to his credit. Riggs may not have had a 100-yard touchdown, but boy did he kill it setting the Falcons up with great field position on almost every possession. He is the workhorse behind the Falcons machine complimented by a great players around him."

MEMO: Long Island EFL S U P E R B O W L X V I I I (PRE-GAME) ATLANTA FALCONS (8-2) vs LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (8-1) (Long Island Electric Football League Super Bowl XVIII). December 31, 2023. Written by Levi Vick with contributors, Paddy Brannigan, Kevin Mack, Matt Zoo-York, and Joey Pizz. We will have the Super Bowl written this afternoon. What it is Cuz! Finally, we have reached another great conclusion to a terrific 2023 season, playing this game at the beautiful Nautical Mile in Freeport, NY. This is it, a colossal matchup between two epic teams and coaches, Johnny-Freeport's NFC Atlanta Falcons (8-2) versus Ed Viggs Los Angeles Chargers (8-1). After a great dinner we are ready for the LIEFL showdown! Like us or not here we come! Our last official write-up of the 2023 season! Lots of great music at Johnny-Freeport's. With the Eagles playing loud in the background we reflect on great friendships, and the fellowship that has kept this all together in a great hobby! The numbers in this game speak for themselves, and so too will the talent on the field, and on the sidelines as coaches in a terrific LIEFL Super Bowl Bash. All of us in the league are in attendance for the game to complete the season, compliments of the loudest tough guy in the league, Johnny-Freeport. It's all about the game, not about use, but we will give a jib of background information here in the last article of the season. This is the type of game Super Bowl's are meant for. We don't need lessons in football, we all played organized football. We know talent, we've played against enough of it for fifty years in some of the biggest tournaments. We know another world of electric football totally unrelated to the Tudor Games and Miggle talent, and the coaches in this league will only play for money! In talking to league Founder and Commissioner Billy O'C, he said he'd love to start a SHOWCASE LEAGUE in St. Pete Florida when he retires to keep people's interest in electric football, and to earn new hobbyists. He was disappointed that all of his teams that Coach Joe Bino played with lost in the playoffs. O'C said if he can, he would like to start a new league that would be played and featured at one of the local Community Colleges if he can make an agreement, which as a Professor he should have the conversation to do that with colleagues. He just doesn't want other people using LIEFL teams. They are historic and classic. The League would have to start over and purchase their own teams. College kids would love the game. We are unique, we do things different in many ways as leaders, not followers. It's always been that way in the league amongst the members. Some of these guys are real life heroes in their professions. We've grown into good men with good families, and integrity. We are proud and honored to have made many positive contributions to society in what is becoming an upside-down world, where people think it's okay to disrespect others. It is crazy the changes America has seen in the past several years, at least in crumbling down New York anyway. We are active members of the Long Island EFL and our communities. We all have them in our lives, loudmouths who we want to shut up, but 6'4" long haired Johnny-Freeport takes the cake, and he would be hard to shut up. The louder he gets, the louder he has played in this tournament. He reminds us of Fred Dryer, the LA Rams sensation who went on to acting after his pro football career. Johnny-Freeport should be acting in Hollywood, not playing EF as a retired professional who chased real-life bad guys for a living. But is his bark bigger than his bite? We will see tonight as his self-proclaimed posse' the Atlanta Falcons, who have played magnificent, take on Coach Ed Viggs and his high-flying Los Angeles Chargers (8-1). Viggs would like to put a bolt in the Falcons. The Chargers have been here before but left very dissatisfied with the outcome when they lost to the hometown Los Angeles Rams in 2018, in LIEFL-Super Bowl XIV, 31-28! It is a sore reminder to Viggs of how close he came to winning that Super Bowl, and it is also in the back of his mind to correct. It's just how the successful and quiet Wall Street Guru thinks. "That loss was too close to not come away the winner," said Viggs. Viggs is coming into this game focused and determined to pull this one off, but not so fast, this Atlanta team has outperformed everyone. Johnny-Freeport said, "Who cares that people think we re going to lose, bunch of fools in this league, and we will see just how nasty my team can be! Stop bothering me with this school newspaper garbage." The response to what Freeport said from Viggs was, "The Birds have outperformed Everyone, but the Chargers," according to Viggs. Viggs was the starting quarterback for the Rutgers Cup Winning Bay Shore High School team before breaking his hand, unfortunately in a fight. He did came back late in the season and got to play corner against MLB star Craig Biggio from Kings Park, who was the Hansen Award Winner in 1983. Bay Shore won back-to-back Rutgers Cup's here on Long Island with 19 wins in two seasons. Viggs was a gifted lacrosse player as well. The man knows football, PERIOD! A little background information about Johnny-Freeport. Johnny played football and basketball in the opposite county here on the island, and he became great friends with Billy O'C during 9th grade when Freeport moved to an aunt's house across the street from where Billy O'C lived in Bay Shore, NY. Johnny-Freeport was a troubled teen who earned the name "The Chucker" because of the way he tossed a basketball in street games. The two have been friends ever since. Billy O'C's father was a NYPD Emergency Service Swat team officer in Harlem, the Bronx, and Brooklyn, NY, and that's what keeps the two connected. This Falcons-Chargers game is loaded with playmakers! Every player on both rosters have to be recognized because this Tournament of Champions has been complete with brutal and epic battles! The Falcons seemed to be getting warmed up when they revved their engines against the Panthers in their 59-50 NFC CG victory, to advance to this Super Bowl. Carolina is a team Atlanta faced many times in battles that go back and forth! The Falcons don't know much about the Chargers on the field. This game against the Chargers will be a game where one mistake can change the outcome of the game. If Johnny-Freeport can keep his head on, it could be Atlanta carrying the trophy! Coach Ed Viggs though, is on a secret revenge mission for the loss Johnny-Freeport dished out in the NFC Divisional Championship Game when the #1 Seed undefeated Washington Redskins lost to Freeport's Dirty Birds in an upset 30-24! Never underestimate the quiet leaders. Coach Ed Viggs is on a mission! Prime Time players in this game are the regulars, LIEFL Hall of Famers Gerald Riggs and LaDainian Tomlinson. But they come with fantastic support with blazing speed at every corner of the board, and they can strike at will. In the trenches we've seen the Falcons Bill Fralic play great, and lineman Earl Faison for the Chargers will lead the way. These are perennial LIEFL All-Pro's consistently in the league. As the #5 Seed in the NFC, Atlanta's offense has produced the firepower of 1564 total yards on 59 touches, with 15 touchdowns, ten of them by Gerald Riggs in the LIEFL Tournament of Champions! But what happens if Viggs can stop Riggs? The Los Angeles Chargers as the #1 Seed played one game less in the Tournament of Champions than did Atlanta, but they caught a blaze in the AFC! The Chargers in their two playoff games against the Ravens and Colts totaled 1021 yards with 10 touchdowns, four of them by Kellen Winslow Sr., and Lance Alworth had seven touches for 328 all purpose yards with two touchdowns against Baltimore in the AFC Wild Card Game. This is a battle ready team. LaDainian Tomlinson and Kellen Winslow Sr., pushed the offense in the AFC Divisional Championship Game against the Colts. Tomlinson rushed for 163 yards on 12 carries, with two touchdowns, but Winslow Sr., was the star of the game! Los Angeles is an offensive and defensive powerhouse who can make the big plays against the Falcons. Count on Viggs to get his big playmakers involved early! They have the speed and talent that make this a incredible matchup. It wouldn't surprise us if Viggs throws Alworth, Winslow Sr., and Tomlinson into the kick return roles to unsettle Johnny-Freeport.
