Several dozen different Football Handhelds were made. There's a good
Handheld page which includes a FAQ at http://www.best.com/~cdyer/
We had one of those vibrating football games, what a joke :)
I also vaguely remember in the early 70s a neighbor having some football
game where you made your plays and inserted some plastic disc into a unit
that would tell you how the play went like a sports announcer.

In regard to your post about the old hand held football
game... I
certainly do remember that game. There were actually a couple of different
companies or stores that sold them. Radio Shack did have one, but I
believe it was the SAME one that was manufactured by Coleco, or a similar
company. I know up until a few years ago I had one... I'll have to look
around. Just the other day, I was in a thrift store in Nebraska City, NE
and they had a pile of 'old' handhelds. I didn't have time to look through
it close, though.... but I'm darn sure they did have a football game or
two though. I'll go back and check it out for you, though. Oh, while were
on the subject of old football games.... how about those darned magnetic
full-field table football games they used to make?? Do they still exist?
Until next time,
