Now if you go five yards from the that plane... you should be on the back of the five yard line..... Keep on doing this and enventually you are on the back of the 50 yard line. Now offset 5 yards from the other endzone, and you eventually end up on the back side of the 50 yard line.
Thus you have an overlapping of 4 inches. This 4 inches is 1/9 of a yard, so the football field is 99 and 8/9 yards.

What you got to say about that!

I've actually thought about the same thing, but on the Canadian field. I guess we'll have to adjust all the record books.
And when applying a penalty that's restricted, do we go half-the-distance minus two inches? I think we have to.
