I remember getting my very first pack of football cards. A couple of the guys in that pack were Verlon Biggs and Brig Owens, with these very cards (or exact duplicates).

Remember that crazy football game from Mattel with the Red Radio contraption and yellow discs you inserted called "Talking Football"

I had that one, too. It was my main football game until I got Thinking Man's Football.

The challenge with that is that you couldn't play against most other kids, because they pretty quickly figured out that the "Gadget Play" disc was likely to score a touchdown, while the middle running plays wouldn't gain more than a few yards.

I'd play it on my own and had some rules for which play I'd use based on down and distance. If you did that, it was okay.
