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.

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

    • I have a hard time imagining us making any changes mid-season no matter how bad it gets. Tepper is impulsive. But a) there's nothing to be gained by making a change 3 weeks into a season, you're already signaling your season is over. Is someone really going to step in at this point and turn things around? Anyone in the league? Or even CFB, because I don't think Bellichick could step in and right this ship. So the best we could hope for, is someone like Wilks to step in, boost morale enough to win a few meaningless games and ruin our chances at a top pick, and then have the wheels fall off again. And b) Tepper has proven that he is capable of learning some lessons. We really haven't heard much out of that clown recently. Certainly not as much as we used to the first few seasons. And by this I mean I think he knows he has a reputation. And no quality coach wants to go and work for the impulsive, meddlesome owner who repeatedly fires coaches midseason. We've already got to be the least attractive landing spots in the NFL with the absolute dearth of talent, conditioning, and playing surface that will keep players healthy. So the best thing to do is at least pretend that he's ready to stay out of the way. So either way, IMO the smart play is you let this play out all season.  Let these suckers go down with the ship, and if a regime change is needed, you wait til the end of the season to make a change.
