what kind of football was this?

**starbuck** · July 25th, 2010, 09:24 PM

as a kid i remember 3 kinds of footballs we played with. of course the "real" leather kind, the Nerf and there was one other. I can't remember what it was called though. it was kind of soft and used air (couldn't put more in if memory is correct) but was a rubber type, almost like a kickball kind of material. anyone else know what I'm talking about and know the name it went by???????

Felt more like a basketball than a football? After playing with it for a few hours would lose about 1/4 of the air and you could throw it like a wet wash cloth? Don't know what name you're looking for but below is a picture I found of one and they also came in about 10000000000 colors.

kind of but not really. this was much more squeezable, not as hard as a basketball, more like a dodge ball or a kickball type feel to it.

the last one may be it, i saw where you said it was rubber llike a playground ball, if thats the one you are talking about then it was kind of squishy and you could throw those *******s a country mile and catch em with one hand. i have one lying around somewhere.

Right. Just the texture was similar to a basketball. You could easily palm one with one hand and squeeze the ball half way in on itself. I remember the one's you're talking about, just not sure about a brand name.

yeah, it is killing me I cant remember what they were called. kind of like when you get a song stuck in your head and you only know about 5 or 6 words and you sing them over and over and over and then you stop. then you catch your self singing them again, then again and again.
