Actually, one of the worst presents I got was one that I actually asked for. Does anyone remember those “electric” football games from the 60’s? The ones where the board vibrated. In the ads, they looked great but,in real life, they didn’t work. It would take two minutes to set up the lines for each play, then when you turned on the board, the players went all over the place.

I remember those. When I saw the commericals I wanted one, but a friend had one and the players never seemed to run the right direction...glad I never had one.

LOL!!! THAT STUPID GAME ALMOST SINGLE-HANDEDLY TURNED ME OFF TO FOOTBALL FOREVER, AS A LITTLE KID!! It’s a great learning opportunity when you set it up, then all logic just went to hell when it was turned on. OPERATION also put the kabosh on my future surgical career.

(Today, I am just a scarred Bronco fan who has flashbacks of tiny sponge footballs. :-)
