Some kids down the street were playing it today and it made me remember when we played it. Did anyone else here play it?

BTW It was just the name of the game because the guy with the ball was the odd man so we smeared him. We had nothinging against homosexuals.

Ah yes. "Cream the carrier," as it was known when adults were around. Great fun beating the snot out of each other.

Hell yea we played it. Unfortunately, today's society would have a cow because the word 'queer' is used, and it might 'offend' someone. Bullsh|t.

Oh yeah, great game. I completely forgot about it. Nothing like beating each other to a pulp and having a great time doing it.

We called it "Fumblelina". It sounds like the same game. Someone runs with the ball till they get (gang)tackled, then they cough the ball up for someone else to grab it and run with it until they get tackled. Great fun as a kid :). It hurts thinking about it as a 43 year old adult.

I've never understood why pro football didn't adopt smear the queer rules. It would make the game so much more exciting.
