vike daddy Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Parker Brothers originally developed Nerf, beginning with a 4 in (100 mm) polyurethane foam ball. In 1969, Reyn Guyer, a Minnesota-based games inventor, came to the company with a football game that was safe for indoor play, and after studying it carefully, Parker Brothers decided to eliminate everything but the foam ball. In 1970, the Nerf ball was introduced as the "world's first official indoor ball", the name "Nerf" being a slang term for the foam padding used in off-road racing. Marketing slogans promised that one can "Throw it indoors; you can't damage lamps or break windows. You can't hurt babies or old people." Some of the first TV commercials for the balls were joint promotions with General Foods' Kool-Aid drink mix, with Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones and Michael Nesmith of the Monkees playing with the balls on a living room soundstage (Kool-Aid sponsored the 1969-70 Saturday morning reruns of the Monkees' 1966-67 TV series). The ball filled a strong consumer need and by the year's end, more than four million Nerf balls had been sold. The four-inch (102 mm) ball was followed by a large version called the "Super Nerf Ball". Shortly after, in 1972, a basketball game called "Nerfoop" and the Nerf football joined the family, with the latter quickly becoming Nerf's most popular ball. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunate for him, but at least he should be fully healthy by then. Those ankle injuries suck. I injured mine running one time (probably 5 years or so ago), and it's never been truly right since (never had surgery either).

I injured mine running one time (probably 5 years or so ago), and it's never been truly right since (never had surgery either). I don’t honestly think he has much of a future. He’s not a very good return man and his size limits him so much. Johnson has that third WR spot nailed down but I’d hope that the Vikes could draft a mid round WR who has already demonstrated return ability in college. Treadwell hasn’t even been that bad as the 4th WR so I’m not even opposed to bringing him back if cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 A little surprised, but this must mean that Zimmer/Spielman are happy with the way Treadwell has returned to the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t recall any major mishaps from Treadwell but he’s in a very limited role. I was hoping that MN would have gotten more from Treadwell or Doctson in the absence of Thielen but that never happened. No need for both at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
