Jim, the title of this thread should have been Sunday Night football. During the Sunday night game there was a situation where they had to check to see where the down box was in relation two the five yard mark. It was 3 inches short, so the R announced they'd be 3 inches short of a first down. Al Michaels then started in on how the R would know they were 3 inches short without meausuring. Al had no clue on how that is determined.
