The other zebra stands where the ball landed out of bounds and walks towards the first zebra till he gets to the sideline. The ball is spotted at that point. | ||

I personally think it's the most ridiculous part of football officiating. How can they possibly see anything? Second is the fact that they visually spot everything and then pull out chains for exact measurements. | ||

Wait, so they just do it on a true diagonal? | ||

Ump of 6 years, baseball is easy compared to this crap.

Who are you kidding, that stuff would be expensive and we all know the NFL is running on a shoestring budget! | ||

There was that crazy rule book test for baseball a few years back though for the super rare scenarios that none of the players could get right. Was kind of funny. I guess you could set that up for any sport though | ||

Was kind of funny. I guess you could set that up for any sport though Yeah, I used to know (and probably still do) some weird stuff, mostly because I either saw it or it happened to me. Like if you're an ump and you get hit by the ball, it's dead if a fielder other than the pitcher has a chance to field the ball. I was actually drilled by a comebacker while calling balls and strikes behind the mound with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the bottom of the last and everyone froze except for the runners. | ||
