I remember 3 of us going through a wooden fence on a tackle,


One of our sidelines was a barbed wire fence. No running out of bounds on that side.

It had flooded one day and we all decided it would be a good idea to go out to the horse pasture to play football in about 10 inches of water. What we didn’t realize is we were tackling each other in water mixed with horse shite

amen, I wasn’t fat then. But I was slow but strong. I just lowered my head and ran at people as fast as I could go.

Our out of bounds was the street
our in bounds was the street if we only had three to play. One QB, one receiver one DB. We had ditches.

Any of you ever look at the field you used to play on and laugh at how small it was?

The empty lot we played on as 6 through 10 year-olds was about 90 by 70. It seemed huge to me as a 6 year old. Amazingly, it is still an empty lot over 45 years later - one of the only ones in the neighborhood.

 one of the kids kept calling “horse collar” penalty. I just shook my head. Who calls penalties on neighborhood football? Lol 
Kids today have no clue.

We would all the time, but we didn't say anything. Just gouged eyes, kicked nuts, and dislocated collar bones to settle up.

Whenever I play with the neighborhood kids I get called for illegal touching. The ref takes me away in his car that has red and blue lights on it.

Why are your paying that much close attention to some kids playing back yard football? Go drink a beer.

You have nothing better to do than watch kids be kids? Reminds me of the dads that would make it a point to watch their boys practice. Let kids be kids. Go drink a beer and screw your wife. You should have better things to do.

Grew up in Houston playing kill the man with the ball and holy shite we would cream each other. Once I started playing organized football in third grade, it was a breeze.

I used to spike the ball during recess football thinking it would save us time before the bell rang.
