My question is where the hell did all his money go man? He traded in a new car for one thats beat and sold his house. It seems like you could put the table together for under 50 bux. And why the hell would his wife be willing to live out of a car for some pipe dream, they have a couple screws loose if you ask me.

that makes no sence at all, who the hell would spend $100k on this, if he has been working with corparate american compaines, then how the hell did he manage to screw up his 25 years he invested into his real life,
it seems the compainies may be better off without his ass running the finaces or even employing him.

Man that was just Sad to watch. I have no idea how that guy could dedicate 26 years to it without any results.

I think a few people must have taken him for all that he had along the way.

When he started off with "my ex-wife and I" I knew it was all over

Edit: if you read some of the interviews with this guy. I have to say he really has realized allot and desirves to get some investors for his product. It might not become an olympic sport. But just like may other things people have "come up with" are games that people already play and this is something to make it a little more comercial/official. You could even equate it to things like the "Pet Rock" that made huge amount of cash and they were just a bunch of rocks

BulletBall - From American Inventor
The finalists on the television series American Inventor include one game designer (Ed Hall with his electronic game Word Ace), but a second game designer -- who was cut in the first round -- made for some of the most fascinating moments on the show. The web site RealityTVMagazine.com has an interview with the creator of BulletBall, Marc Griffin. On the show, Griffin appeared to be overly obsessed with his game, predicting that it would become an Olympic sport and being told by one of the judges, "You told us that you’ve given twenty-six years of your life to this game. I think that’s more of a life than a man can give to a dream. Please get your life back." But Griffin says he has a life (despite quitting his job, selling his wife's wedding ring, and living out of a car), and he is seeking investors for BulletBall. Oh, and he's still waiting for the show to return his BulletBall table.

BulletBall has been endorsed by professional atheletes and physicians because of its ability to work all the muscle groups as well as its cardiovascular workout. I am currently working with a manufacturer to distribute BulletBall this holisday season!

Hey Marc,
You still owe us for the prototype table we fabricated for you 2 yrs ago.
Plan to pay your debt anytime soon?
