Let's Have Some Fun with Electric Football!

Let's Have Some Fun with Electric Football!

Back before Atari and Nintendo, when kids had to use their darn imaginations to play a game of football (we say while holding our canes outstretched), there was a game called vibrating (or "electric") football. All you older kids will be glad (or horrified) to learn that a company called Excalibur is bringing back the electric, buzzing table-top game, complete with an NFL license.

For you young'ns, electric football was originally created in 1947 when it was, clearly, one of the most high-tech games a kid could have. It was an electric game that consisted of a plug-in tin football field and a bunch of little football player figures. The vibration made the players move in all sorts of random directions, and the outstretched arms of the players made them "lock" in what we pretended was a tackle (though it looked more like a do-se-do). Yes, that's pretty much all it did. We got a chance to check it out at this year's Consumer Electronics Showcase and, yes, that's pretty much all it still does.

But we don't care. Low tech? Sure. In a world of polygons, real-time shading, and online Madden games, this is an exciting, refreshing kick in the pants, and we're psyched to see it make a return.

New York Sex Tape: Amy Fisher to promote sex tape with husband

New York Sex Tape: Amy Fisher to promote sex tape with husband

NEW YORK (CNN) -- More than a decade after gaining notoriety as New York's "Long Island Lolita," Amy Fisher has settled with a Los Angeles, California, production company regarding the release and distribution of a sex tape featuring her and her husband.

"It does exist, people are looking at it, so I agreed to -- not endorse it -- but [I] will discuss it," Fisher said at a news conference Friday.

Under the terms of the settlement with the Red Light District production company, Fisher agreed to an undisclosed sum of money and a promotional appearance at a New York City nightclub.

She described how her husband, Louis Bellera, sold the sex tape during an acrimonious divorce, and she denied being involved in its initial release.

The couple has since reconciled.

"I love my husband and I've done a lot of things, too," Fisher said. "I know he's very sorry." Video Watch Fisher say she will hold her head high »

Fisher, 33, drew mass media attention as a teenager in 1992 when an affair with Joey Buttafuocco ended with her shooting his wife, leaving her paralyzed.

Fisher received a five- to 15-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to first degree assault for shooting Mary Jo Buttafuocco. She served seven years in a western New York prison.

Joey Buttafuocco, then a 38-year-old auto body shop owner, pleaded guilty to statutory rape and served six months in prison.

Marion Barber Goes Nuts as Giants-Cowboys Tied 14-14 at the Half

Marion Barber Goes Nuts as Giants-Cowboys Tied 14-14 at the Half

The Cowboys were 7.5 favorites heading into today's NFC Divisional game against the Giants, but at the half, it's 14-14. Of course, the Jaguars and Patriots were tied 14-14 at the half on Saturday, but New England ended up winning by 11 points, so it's too early to start crowing asses.

One of the concerns coming into this game was that Tony Romo would be suffering some sort of Jessica Simpson Love Hangover, but he was 8 of 14 for 83 yards and a touchdown. While those aren't eye-popping numbers, Romo avoided the mental mistakes that have plagued him the previous few games.

More impressive, Marion Barber, getting his first start of the season, punished the Giants defense to the tune of 101 yards on 16 carries and one score.

Terrell Owens seems as healthy as ever (four catches for 49 yards, one touchdown), and Terry Glenn, after four months, made his first catch of in 2007 season ... in 2008.

For the Giants, quarterback Eli Manning continues to look sharp (8 of 13, 130 yards, two touchdowns). Plaxico Burress has only one catch (he hobbled off the field late in the second quarter), but Amani Toomer had a 52-yard touchdown catch-and-run to put New York up 7-0.

Both teams are playing well, but if the Giants don't slow up Barber, he could be the difference in the second half.

World's largest and deepest hyperbaric chamber!

World's largest and deepest hyperbaric chamber!

The National Hyperbaric Centre in Scotland plans to build the world's largest and deepest test chamber according to divemagazine.co.uk.

The multi-million project at the Aberdeen-based centre will enable researchers to test underwater equipment to depths greater than 5,000m.


The new test chamber is expected to cost anything up to £10 million. It is the latest in a run of ambitious initiatives to celebrate National Hyperbaric Centre's 20th anniversary year.

'There may have been a perception at one time that the centre was just a bunch of dusty, rarely used diving chambers,' said National Hyperbaric Centre managing director David Smith. 'But the centre is about much, much more than that and we are shrugging off that image now, emerging as a sharp, dynamic commercial entity.'
