re: NFL testing electronic system for measuring first downs; possibly implemented for 2024

I've always wondered why they can't put some fricking lasers on the tops of the goal posts pointing up so we can very easily tell whether a field goal is good or not. You'd be able to see by where the laser hits the ball where it went over. But instead we have some guy looking up from 50 ft below in whatever weather there is, guessing.
Also, in my perfect world, any review would get a 1 minute review clock that gets started once the first review starts playing. If they cannot easily determine the ruling within 60 seconds, the play stands as called and we move on. If it's overturned they get a bit more time (pick a number) to get the clock and placement set.

Great idea and solution.
Some sources "in the know" claim there is already tech embedded in the uprights. The reasons are more about controlling the direction of FG (forcing misses OR helping align the kick.)
