NFL To Test New First Down Measuring System, Could Spell End Of Chain Gang Era
I don't know about you, but I still love the chain gang in the NFL. In a league that's worth billions of dollars, where every inch of field could determine a win or a loss, it's hilarious that first downs – a massively important aspect of the sport – are measured by middle-age men sprinting out to the field with a giant, orange pole linked to another giant, orange pole by a 10-yard chain.
