Eddie's Football Follies

After seeing these films, it's clear I was not really a football player, I just kind of ran around. I think I looked pretty good in a uni though.  Watch to the end to see more young BM's in attendance. Can you spot Uncle Tom?

With Moves like that, how did you make All Interac? Ironically, just this past week TJ was telling me about how good a Football player EJM was. I asked TJ why did EJM not go to a Football College if he was so good? TJ told me that EJM did not enjoy the game, but ejm was really Good! I did not see a lot of games...I was a College student, I worked at the State Store in Olney, took the train back & forth to Lansdale and somehow my wife got pregnant!... just saying...

I saw wee Eddie play many times. He was VERY good. Soft hands, as they say. He was a force.

2 years ago at Overbrook CC while attending a Christmas party, a psychologist named Marquis sat at our table. When I introduced myself he got a shocked look on his face and he said, "Are you Ed McKendry's brother?" He went on to ask me to convey his apologies to Eddie he said, "I should go and tell him myself." Seems young Mr. Marquis attended PC and played football vs Edward as a D back. EJM beat him up every time they played. The apology was because he said, " Every time I played against him I tried to hurt him because I couldn't stop him. I never made a dent. I don't think he even noticed."

I relayed that to EJ. Wee Edward's response, " Don't remember him at all." Bulletproof. The legend lives.

Who has the video?

How do i lodge a formal complaint/inquiry about being discriminated against for non access to video? Anybody know? I'll own this blog!!

Tshirtim, I'm sorry you haven't been able to access this dynamic video. You're not missing much but...I did not post this video to YouTube this time. Instead, I loaded a file directly to the blog. I wonder if that has something to do with it?

Who chose the music to this exciting highlight reel?

Jack Turner said...

! can see the Video. I have no problem viewing the Video. The music on the Video is the problem.

EJM said...

that's funny. i didn't even know there was music on this...
that music was put there by the company that transferred the old 8mm film onto a DVD. This was part of a whole bunch of movies from the Kings.
