A Truly Important Football Question!

[Bruzilla]

Okay... I need some input from the true purists of the sport, the Old Dogs, the ones who can remember back to the days when the game was one of muscle and guts played out on a desktop of wood.

I was watching Fox & Friends a few days ago, and they were plugging a table-top football game that Burger King is using to promote something or the other. I think most everyone played this game, where you make a football out of folded paper and try to get part of it past the edge of a table or desk without falling over.

Anyway, Brian Kilmeade was playing by getting four pushes of the ball to score, which is about as difficult as breathing. Back in the football capital of Pittsburgh, you only got to push the ball one time before your opponent got their turn. I was wondering if any of you played the game the new four push way or the one push way?

 

[cattitude]

One push

 

[DoWhat]

One push, Elementary School rules.

 

[Dougstermd]

one push! don't believe everthing you see on TV

 

[Pete]

One push, but one time at an away game in South Carolina they tried 2. I agreed long enough for them to grab the football and while they were setting it down I smashed their hand with my fist and called a safety. They had to forfiet due to injury.

with Field Goals

 

[Pete]

You mean extra points?

 

[Agee]

You mean extra points?

Extra Points, Field Goals, what's the diff, when your 10 years old.

Extra Points, Field Goals, what's the diff, when your 10 years old.

2 points

 

[Agee]

2 points

Somehow I knew that response would show-up

 

[Bustem' Down]

I always played 2 pushes, but never 4.

This is the way I remember playing it...

We had touchdowns, extra points, and field goals. :shrug:

Shots which go entirely off of the end of the table result in the opponent being allowed to kick a "field goal", which employs precisely the same method as described above for "extra points" after touchdowns, except that it scores three points rather than one.

[thakidistight]

One push with extra point, the only way to play!

there were no pictures I can't read all of that technical jargon

 

[mainman]

One push here as well...

Did you ever play penny soccer with 3 pennies?

 

[jazz lady]

Did you ever play penny soccer with 3 pennies?

All the time. Both of those games also make great drinking games.

Ah, memorieeeeeeeeeeeessssssssss...

 

[Agee]

Did you ever play penny soccer with 3 pennies?

Yeah, but we were so poor we used three dead cockaroaches.

 

[mainman]

Yeah, but we were so poor we used three dead cockaroaches.

Messed up when they start decomposing and falling all apart...

 

[jazz lady]

Yeah, but we were so poor we used three dead cockaroaches.

That is just SO wrong.
