Although that gif is funny as hell, how in the world was that dude employed after that?

That’s why I always roll my eyes when they bring out the chains to measure. Even the best and unbiased ref is going to be off a foot or so either way, so it’s really fricking pointless to pretend to care about a few inches.

The good news is that companies are working on digital devices that will be accurate within an inch and will know exactly where the ball was when the player was down. Surprisingly the NFL has actually paid for one company to provide a presentation as to how the tech would be implemented, so hopefully that means they are open to using the tech sooner rather than later.

Of course baseball has had the ability to have exact balls and strikes for years, but fights the implementation at every turn.
