What do y’all call the game where someone throws the football up to a group and calls out a dollar amount while everyone tries to catch it?

pride toss?

jackpot?

rainbow grab?

500

Also, anyone know what Razzle Dazzle is?

Just to make sure I’m not totally ignorant here, we’re talking about wall-ball, right? Even 20 years ago it was half the time called smear the queer but I would agree that as a 5th grader or whatever, it was never thought of in the way that we as adults would think of it now.
Good for Bijan protecting his brand, and of course we (or most of us) don’t talk this way as adults, but geez what a non story. 
 
also I grew up in rural east Texas so YMMV

Wall ball was throwing a tennis ball at the wall and throwing and hitting whoever didn’t catch it. Smear the queer was with a football and everyone tried to tackle them. What the hell did they teach you in Bivins?

wall ball = spread eagle

 

we were lame. We called it tackle the man with the ball most of the time.

This is very funny tbh. For my part, I have no opinion whether Bijan is gay or not. It’s possible I guess? To suggest he could be isn’t offensive to me. 

Posters saying he’s weak for apologizing for saying something that could be hurtful to a group of people? Fuck that.  

Definitely not weak, all his interviews start with giving glory to God and thanking his teammates and being humble and hard working. He was goofing around with the dudes and just said something funny. Apologized so people would get over it. 
 

He’s the best RB in the league, just sucks he plays on a crappy team. Penix gave me some hope, and if Pitts can stay healthy too next year they could have something… but it’s a long way from being a SB contender. Wonder if he can move on somewhere legit. Would be dope to watch him in Buffalo but I guess they are in cap hell. 
 

Texans?

cowboys?

patriots?

Ravens?

Yall are dumb as fuck. We all know he didnt mean what he said in the way he said it, but he said something that might be considered derogatory these days. He apologized

 

who fucking cares. Stfu and move on, you old fucks

Exactly.  No queers were harmed in the making of the statement and no straight conservatives were harmed with apology.  Quit being aggrieved pussies.

Spread Eagle was played in Alief in the 80s before school, at recess or after school with multiple racquetballs, sometimes with 30-40 players and 3 to 5 racquetballs. It was very intense, very organized and regulated to uphold the integrity of the game. The basic point of the game was to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women when they had to go to the nurse's office. If you didn't catch the ball clean you had to run to touch the wall as whoever had the racquetballs would hurl them at you until you touched said wall. If you didn't know already, racquetballs hurt way more (probably 3x) and also came off the wall way faster than the tennis balls so they were much harder to catch. And the X factor was using multiple balls because you may not see one coming and someone extremely close to you might have one, and if you booted one you were going to pay dearly. There was little to no teacher supervision other than in middle school the occasional coach would watch to see who was athletic.  Other rules/ tidbits:

- if you booted the ball and tried to prevent people from grabbing it to drill you or it hit off of you more than once (a 'Double Touch' in Spread Eagle parlance)  you , you had to Spread (stand up against the wall in the frisking position) while another player hurls the ball at you

- if someone booted a ball that hadn't hit the ground yet, if another player caught it the first kid was saved from having to run...but often the other players could just let it bounce once and be in a position to have any easy shot at the first toucher   

- If you had a noodle arm and bounced the ball before it hit the wall you were spreading

- if someone with a noodle arm was throwing from relatively far away, other players would stand in front of the wall and if they caught it before it hits the wall- you guessed it- they were spreading. 

- When kids stood in front of the wall to do the above, other players would try to carrom another ball off the wall to hit those kids    

- if you moved up after catching the ball to prevent your throw from bouncing you were spreading. Most kids were either good at both fielding and throwing, or sucked at both so the danger of standing close enough to where your throw didn't bounce you were far more likely to boot a catch due to the speed of the ball and get pummeled trying to get to the wall    

- if you moved while spreading, the thrower got another throw whether the first throw hit you or not  

- if you got caught holding on to a ball too long in hopes of drilling someone else nearby when they booted one, you were spreading

- particularly egregious offenses, as voted by mob rule, could result in spreading for multiple throws.  

- if an offended party had a turn to throw at a spreader and they didn't have a good arm, a better thrower could step in to throw in his place   

 

As far as the other game...of course we called it STQ...Boone Elementary banned footballs being brought from home so we would gather up all the aluminum foil that we all brought our Cokes wrapped in and made a foil football and the carnage would continue
