There is one person probally 20 yards away from a group of people he then throws the football in the air and yells a numebr like 100 then whoever catches that ball gets 100 points and so on and so on. The first person to get 500 is the new thrower.

LOL smear the queer was AWESOME!!!! i forgot about that one!!!
Wow, I can honestly say I have never heard of "500." Interesting game, though. Does it have to be an increment of 100 when you throw, or can you just shout out a random "83" or something like that?
That must have been the nerd version...then you'd have to add in exponents, logrithms, and trigonometric ratios to make it really fun! Of course, they probably wouldn't be able to catch the ball in order to get the points.
Curball is a new one on me as well. Smear the queer I have heard of...never played it though since I knew I would get crushed.

We simply stuck in increments of 10 so our minds when not thinking of sports or girls could do the math. Although there was one guy in every game that thought he had won and really had 200 points after a few purple nurples, a wedgie and about 15 wet willies he would agree he had 200. Ahhhhh those were the days!
