Great stories. I remember playing touch football in the streets. It was supposed to be touch football but the games used to get pretty rough. It resembled tackle football. You used to go out for a pass and get pushed into a parked car. OUCH!! But we all survived. They mostly were games of 5 vs 5. 4 would go out on passes and the quaterback would be covered by a counter. The counter would count to 10 Mississippi's and then rush the quarterback.
We used to do flea flickers. One of the receivers would go behind the scrimmage line. The guy covering the receiver was then able to rush the quarterback or receiver. The counter still couldn't rush in until he finished counting. The quarterback and the receiver would lateral back and forth will looking down field to see if anyone got free. As soon as someone got open, you would launch a "bomb" down field. You had to line drive the passes because of the wires and cables overhead. Talk about talent!!
