Rich,
I am with you 110%. I do NOT measure unless *I* think it is required. It must be an old wives' tale that any request for a measurement must be granted. Last night we had a situation where the L had a spot and his foot was about 4" beyond the lead stake. I've got a first down! He was standing a coupl
e of feet inbounds but was in very close proximity to the stake. No problem, FD!
