Was reminded of this in another thread. Been discussed before, but still a fun thing to reminisce about.

Some of my favorites from childhood...

The Starbird (Milton Bradley)

And of course, the first electronic football (way before Madden)

Didn't this emit sounds as you moved it up and down?

Though my Father was unhappy with the thought of me "playing with dolls", as he put it.

However my Sister's Barbies were always happy when "Joe" came home form a mission!

Yep, and it could get ear-piercingly high if you pushed it. They came out with a smaller version and an enemy ship too, if I recall correctly.

Micronauts (Mego)

I bugged the living daylights out of my mom to get me these things, especially after they came out with Godzilla.

    • No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.
    • I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.
    • I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
