Can we at least all agree . . .

That back in the 70s and 80s the "Itzaball" footballs were far superior to Nerf footballs. There can be no serious debate.

The turbo made a kid feel like he could sling like Elway. WTH is an Itza? Must have been a bit before my time.

Not a football - a dart.

It was a weird super spongy neoprene like rubber inflatable ball. Stayed soft when wet and cold (both not true of Nerf) which was important in ND.

When I was a kid, the overwhelming sadness & disappointment during Christmases when people would give me sportsballs as gifts is the exact same feeling as I have when I open this thread.

I never had one of those. I can still remember being so excited to get a nerf spiral football for Christmas as a 10 year old. I was Jerry rice and Chris carter in the backyard with that thing until I wore it out.

My brother had one when we were kids. A few years ago, I remember him looking up some other discontinued Nerf ball and it was going for stupid money. I think it was the one that whistled or something.

Could be worse, could have been socks. “Can we all agree crew height socks are the best!”

I agree the spiral nerf was the best nerf.

Socks have utilitarian value. I can use socks.

Especially wool socks, like the 14 pair I got 3 Christmas' ago from the same person.

But as a kid. I never wanted stuff for Christmas my parents had to buy for me anyway.

Electric football was the best. When my brothers electric football game shit the bed a day after Christmas, that's when we learned Santa wasn't real.

Right? Like who in the #*^@#* asks for off-brand GI Joes?

Sad. Low energy. Not a very good Santa. Hate to say it. I know Santa. He's a mensch. This is no Santa, Mom.

That was my favorite thing about a nerf football.

Nothing like drilling someone in the chest with a spiraling soaked sponge.

Frozen soaked sponge to boot
