[QUOTE="Forget Favre, post: 691858, member: 2006"] How could that work? Someone is watching one screen showing the action and another screen shows where the ball with the GPS chip is. Whenever the play is over, the screen would have to be paused by the person watching to show the exact spot where the ball goes. However that person watching may not pause at the exact moment he should. Other than that, I dunno how else they would make it work. So there could still be errors in the exact placing of the ball. I remember one time years and years ago watching with John Madden commenting. When they were bringing out the sticks for measurement, John said something like, "I'm surprised they don't have a laser doing this yet." So if they are still using sticks and chains for measuring, I think it will be a very, very long time, if ever, with a tracking device in the ball. Not a bad idea though I think they could be given 5. Three for plays and 2 for penalties. With all the screw ups the refs make, one just doesn't seem enough. [/QUOTE]
