    "Kill the guy with the ball"...that's kind of a long title for a kids game!? And "guy" not "kid"!? I think you're making this up. It's 'cos you're from Minnesota right? No, the truth is, your game in the purple state is called "Choke the kid" 'cos the Vi-queens choke a lot!

    I think this is a GREAT joke! Laugh or "kill it"! [Man, you guys love to kill don't ya!?]

      I think last night's travesty increases the pressure to end football.

        sure, when only one team shows up, there's no game.

            We pronounced it "Schmear" the Queer.

            Lol! Those were the days, getting tackled on rock hard frozen mud. Teachers looking on, not intervening, probably taking bets.

              I recall playing schmear the queer it behind the bleachers during the high school football games. A bunch of us that were in elementary school would usually start the game, but some high school students (that didn't go out for football) would inevitably join in. It got ugly more often than not.

                Smear the queer was always a blast, but so was king of the hill in the winter. Most elementary schools neither can be played anymore, probably why kids are such pussies now.

                  Radio talk show today reported that, per WIAA records, in 2005 there were 33,000 high school students registered to play football in WI. In 2015, the number has dropped to 27,000.

                    Packers may have jumped the gun a bit.

                      20% drop in 10 years is huge, considering how much the NFL has grown in that same time frame. Baseball has dropped by 1/3 at the younger levels over the last 20 years as well. And worse yet soccer has been growing to the point where every public park is ruined by soccer goals. America is just going down the tubes.

                        Two points make a line but not a trendline. Need the full set of data.

                            Never heard it called but I'm guessing it's the same game. I recall in 6th grade a girl wanted to play so she gets the ball and I knocked her square on her ass, I guess being oblivious to many things in life back then and she punched me right in the face......holy shit was she pissed....I'm like but but but....

                              The horror!

                              Combining the info I got from this thread & partials elaborate research on the growth of Artificial Intelligence, I guess in the future we will be only allowed to watch this 'sport':







                              I'm no expert, but to me it looks like those bots are suffering from major concussions.
