Three of the records were special situations, (punt, kick, etc.) and were double sided. I remember the call of one interception, "It's a leaping interception! He's going to go all the way! Touchdown!"
Uh Oh, penalty
We played that so much we would know what the play was going to be before they even finished saying it, and would have the ball moved and everything.

I grew up in a house on a hill with a driveway that was a pretty good downhill slope. Buddy and I would ride our Big Wheels down the driveway. Or braking system was putting backward pressure on the pedals to lock up the front wheel. Eventually that developed into a large flat spot in the wheel.

i mean the radio man is pretty fricking important.

Yep! I also kind of remember the tires being hollow. Eventually they would just crack and fall apart.

Thanks for showing this one. I had the Oakland Raiders jacket. Loved that thing - but don't know why I wanted that one as I wasn't a fan. I think maybe I thought it was cool looking with the patch. But this was late 70s early 80s...

We decided it was more fun to tie this to someone's bike than use it as intended

We did too. We started shuffling the offensive records on the rack each possession because we knew where they were.
Good times.

Same.
I lived one street over from Rice Stadium when I was a kid. I would launch all my model rockets and those water rockets in the stadium parking lot.
A lot of the times, especially the model rockets with parachutes would drift off and land inside the stadium somewhere. I'd never see them again. I'd lose water rockets as well.

Spent many hours in the back seat occupied with this game when we used to go places.

I had a few of the toys mentioned, but the one that still sticks in my mind is the Hot Wheels track. A pissed off mother could whip the hell out of a young young man with a length of Hot Wheels track if he did not clean up his track and Hot Wheels like she told you to do.
I learned this lesson the hard way.

"the big train for small hands" with a picture of a leering adult male and a child seems sketchy.

Rookie. You had to take the RB and push him across the carpet a few times to make the little plastic things on the bottom lay down some. That SOB would run straight as an arrow for about 20 seconds.
So you were the cheating older brother
