I remember 2 versions- one where it just vibrated and another that had two sticks with magnets at the end. Each person could control one player magnetically, at least until the sticks crossed.

f***ing hilarious

my Uncle (who isn't that much older than me) used to plasy this game for hours. Every time a Saint player would leave he would paint the new name on the uniform. Like someone said earlier; a rush of great memories filled my head.

RIP Mr Sas. You brought a lot of happiness to little boys evey where.

I actually wrote this &
sent it to my morning show star last week, and he used it on the air.

Sapper, you're right Mr. Sas made a lot of little guys happy, and I honestly
think he did much to implant more love for the NFL in us.
