Last September, on their New Heights podcast, Jason and Travis Kelce discussed the possibility of someone rebooting the Backyard Sports video game franchise. Jason was especially optimistic about this:
“I don’t even know if I want to mention this. I’ve secretly been looking into seeing if anybody holds the rights to Backyard Baseball and Backyard Football because I want to buy them and get this thing going again. That was the best thing ever! It was so electric. Can you imagine playing Backyard Football right now on your phone? You could do that whole thing on your phone. It wasn’t that complicated of a game.”
What seemed like kind of a pipe dream became a reality when Backyard Baseball ’01 was re-released for phone downloads in March. Now, with the start of the NFL season, Backyard Sports has followed up with the re-release of Backyard Football ’99!

For ’90s kids like me, this is music to our ears. This time capsule from the turn of the millennium features NFL legends like Barry Sanders, Dan Marino, Jerry Rice, and John Elway. Of course, all of the Backyard legends like Pablo Sanchez and Pete Wheeler
