...anyone remember this? Greatest Toy fail, ever??? (if 'nyet', what is?)


Saw/found this on Ebay...

Could not pull the price string.
Tho' it surely was the greatest 70's kid backyard idea ever.

Well, unless you count the Bradshaw raised to the Elway power arm.
As maybe Renaldo Nehemiah coulda run under one of these set to "long", ...maybe?

That, or the short setting was easier to time, tho' the sharpened tipped HARDEST plastic
spheroid they mistakenly called a: "football' was a finger breaker or at least a bruise kisser.



and yet I did love it so!!!
Agonizing fun trying to survive and/or get this to work.
