It was the football that you could accidently hit your Dad's car or the house's aluminum siding and not have to worry too much about explaining a dent. The fabulous foam football that you could spin that perfect spiral no matter what size hands you had and punt barefoot without the sting, Nerf Football1. I think just about every kid in America played with one at some time or another and their parents didn't care that they were too close to the house.
