OK, after you vibrate that way, you can fall down.

Nelson, you just spin around in a circle. Break.

Back in grade school, a friend of mine was a huge Walter Payton fan and couldn't believe I had the Bears team in a Tudor Electric Football set. (A friend of the family from Chicago had given it to me as an Xmas gift.) That photo brings back memories...! Damn those little foam footballs.

I think you used to buy teams by division, correct? Pretty sure I had the NFC Central and the AFC Central. I'd have the Bears playing the Bucs and Oilers all the time because their colors were cool.

I think I only had the two teams it came with, which I think were the Super Bowl teams.

The opponent in my set was the Vikings.

I also had Electric Baseball, which is a little more scarce. The switch on one of them was broken, so I'd swap out the busted piece between the two as needed...!

Guess we got our set after that nail-biting Oilers/Buccaneer Super Bowl. :lol:

I had a few teams so Dr. Ken Sr. must have bought some. The Browns/Steelers/Bengals were all boring to me though.

I had the Oilers too for Earl Campbell-ish reasons. Not sure how that happened though. I somehow had team end zone art that you had to stick down with magnets. I keep one of these babies in my desk drawer to keep my thumbs nimble.

You should play that football game in there, too. That was fun.

Nicotine gum, video games, scissors and a bottle of vodka.

I like your style.

Actually opiate pain killers from India delivered via FedEx. Now I'm really fucked.

:lol: I think the Super Bowl teams were standard each year. I don't remember who I had, but I'm pretty sure one of them was the Cowboys. You would think there would have been some regional packaging. But I don't remember any of my friends having the Bears.

There are some serious tournaments for electric football. The bases are what really counts. You can get a lot of money for a fast, accurate base.
