My bike was red with the black banana seat. Popping wheelies, skidding...geez, no shortage of games and adventures, with your friends, on those little bikes.

The mountain bike I have today is nice, but those days on the Schwinns were unforgettable.

Oh my Stingray was the bomb! Helmet not required.

Blue 2-speed overdrive with the rear slick. No shifter or hand brakes on those. I was the only one I knew that ever had one of those with the over drive. Amazing speed difference.

No streamers. Only girls had those.

Kind of fun link:

The Valley Relics Museum has a pretty cool stingray collection:

They may, but those don't look like Stingrays. They look like vintage BMXs.

Stingrays came standard with the Banana seat. And a curved crotch bar.

But if they had those in my day, it would have been stolen.

They have both but i think the guy's more into his BMX collection:

Lost in all of this is if NRC decided to take a PI rather than give up the TD, that was a bad decision.

I mean it worked out but if the choice was Saints TD or a Saints first down, i think we'd all rather they score a TD in that situation...

Very good point.

Not great situational awareness. He said that he knew he got punked and then decided to take him out instead of giving up a TD. Completely the wrong thought process. 99 out of 100 that gets called PI. He has to know that.

All this Bike nostalgia. I miss my old BMX now. Used to do jumps over obstacles and what not. Scrapped knees almost every day. Wounds healed quicker back then apart from the really deep cuts like...……………... the day I went to the gaming arcade and someone stole my BMX while I was playing street fighter inside. I don't think I can ever get over that loss. My dad bought me a bigger bike (not a BMX) because I was growing tall really fast but it was never the same again.

As many others, I have watched allot of football in my life.

And I have never seen what you just described in that dynamic.

Defensive players do not give up touchdowns unless they are instructed to do so.

And I don't think he purposely knew at that moment it was a solid PI situation.

There was no time.

I was just talking to my wife about this.

My bike too was stolen and how that still bites a bit and always will.

Good times.

Perhaps you haven't seen it but that doesn't change the fact that it was the wrong decision and the wrong thought process.

If you know you're beat by the opposing player which he said he knew he was...…… the next thought for any player in any sport (basketball, soccer) is to either commit a foul or let the guy go. He chose to commit a foul. Its a split second decision but definitely a conscious one. Surely we've all experienced that while playing sports.

In a different situation that's the right vall but in this situation it wasn't, in my opinion.

In hindsight only.

You really think I haven't seen that play like over a hundred times from many different angles?

Dude, I am a super fan if you hadn't noticed.

I respect your opinion.
