The Football Field is only 99 and 8/9 yards in Length!

[CBrockett]

Everybody knows that the endzone plane is the part on the goal line that is closest to the field of play.

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!
