I'll be up there in June and see if I can dig it out. They still have all the games from our childhood. Our bedrooms are virtually untouched (Dan Pastorini poster still on the wall), my wife thinks it is more than a little bit creepy, but when we moved out, they didn't feel the need to redecorate.

Probably time to grab some of the potential collector's items and bring them home with me where they belong.

Seems to me, last time I fired it up the Talking Football (about 15-20 years ago) Enberg's voice was deep and dragging. Fresh batteries didn't help.

Nice pull on that article Phil. Christmas 1972, I was soon to be 9 and this game was right in my wheelhouse.
