Note to the TV football idiots who think I am an idiot.

I can keep track of downs.

I can tell where the line of scrimmage is. I can even track it when a play is in motion.

I know how to tell how far a team has to go for a first down. I can track that during a play, too.

I even know how to count! For example, if it's second down, the ball is on the 23, and the team has to get to the 30 for a first down, I know that it's second down and seven to go.

I don't need a blue line for the line of scrimmage, nor do I need a yellow line for first down, nor do I need a stupid arrow showing me what's the down and how many yards to go for the first.

God dammit! Knock it off!!

1. I actually like the first down marker.

But the rest of the graphics on the field need to go.

4. The first down graphic is cool

It's pretty amazing the amount of computing that goes into it.
