  Tearing

  as
• 1:16
  you
• 1:16

  Oh,

  boy,
• 1:18
  I
• 1:18
  haven't
• 1:18
  seen
• 1:18
  one
• 1:18
  of
• 1:19
  those
• 1:19
  games
• 1:19
  in
• 1:19
  a
• 1:19
  while
• 1:19
  where
• 1:20
  the
• 1:20
  crowd
• 1:20
  tears
• 1:20
  them
• 1:21
  down,
• 1:21
  but
• 1:22
  used
• 1:22
  to
• 1:22
  be
• 1:22
  quite
• 1:22
  popular
• 1:23
  in
• 1:23
  the
• 1:23
  70s
• 1:24
  and
• 1:24
  80s,
• 1:24
  weren't
• 1:25
  they?
• 1:25
  Yeah.
• 1:25
  And
• 1:25
  even
• 1:26
  before
• 1:26
  that,
• 1:26
  there,
• 1:26
  there's
• 1:27
  a
• 1:27
  lot
• 1:27
  of.
• 1:28
  I
• 1:28
  mean,
• 1:28
  we
• 1:28
  think
• 1:28
  people
• 1:29
  tore
• 1:29
  things
• 1:29
  down,
• 1:30
  but
• 1:30
  man,
• 1:31
  in
• 1:31
  like
• 1:31
  the
• 1:31
  20s
• 1:31
  and
• 1:32
  30s,
• 1:32
  it
• 1:32
  was
• 1:32
  like
• 1:32
  every
• 1:33
  game
• 1:33
  people
• 1:33
  would
• 1:34
  do
• 1:34
  that.
• 1:35
  Yeah.
• 1:35
  I
• 1:35
  can't
• 1:36
  even
• 1:36
  imagine
• 1:36
  how
• 1:36
  much
• 1:37
  those
• 1:37
  things
• 1:37
  must
• 1:37
  cost
• 1:38
  nowadays
• 1:38
  at
• 1:39
  these
• 1:39
  stadiums
• 1:39
  and
• 1:40
  probably
• 1:40
  an
• 1:40
  expensive
• 1:41
  endeavor
• 1:41
  if
• 1:41
  somebody
• 1:42
  rips
• 1:42
  them
• 1:42
  down
• 1:42
  today.
• 1:43
  Yeah.
• 1:44
  So,
• 1:44
  but
• 1:45
  okay,
• 1:45
  you,
• 1:45
  you
• 1:46
  recently
• 1:46
  wrote
• 1:47
  an
• 1:47
  article,
• 1:47
  and
• 1:47
  that's
• 1:47
  why
• 1:48
  we're
• 1:48
  talking
• 1:48
  about
• 1:48
  this,
• 1:49
  called
• 1:49
  the
• 1:49
  History
• 1:50
  of
• 1:50
  the
• 1:50
  Goal
• 1:51
  Post.
• 1:51
  And.
• 1:51
  Well,
• 1:52
  can
• 1:52
  you
• 1:52
  tell
• 1:52
  us
• 1:52
  about
• 1:52
  the
• 1:53
  history
• 1:53
  of
• 1:53
  these
• 1:53
  fine
• 1:54
  pieces
• 1:54
  of
• 1:55
  art,
• 1:56
  I
• 1:56
  would
• 1:56
  call
• 1:56
  them
• 1:56
  at
• 1:57
  the
• 1:57
  end
• 1:57
  of
• 1:57
  each.
• 1:58
  Well,
• 2:00
  yeah,
• 2:00
  so
• 2:00
  it's
• 2:01
  actually
• 2:01
  like
• 2:01
  two
• 2:01
  weeks
• 2:01
  ago,
• 2:01
  I
• 2:02
  think
• 2:02
  it
• 2:02
  was,
• 2:02
  we
• 2:02
  were
• 2:02
  talking
• 2:02
  about
• 2:03
  goal
• 2:03
  posts
• 2:04
  and
• 2:04
  I
• 2:04
  said,
• 2:04
  you
• 2:05
  know,
• 2:05
  when
• 2:05
  they
• 2:06
  originally
• 2:06
  made
• 2:07
  them,
• 2:09
  like
• 2:09
  really
• 2:09
  the
• 2:10
  first
• 2:10
  few
• 2:10
  years,
• 2:11
  they
• 2:12
  just
• 2:12
  erect
• 2:12
  two
• 2:13
  posts
• 2:13
  and
• 2:14
  then
• 2:14
  put
• 2:14
  a
• 2:15
  string
• 2:15
  between
• 2:16
  the
• 2:17
  posts
• 2:17
  like
• 2:18
  10ft
• 2:18
  off
• 2:18
  the
• 2:18
  ground.
• 2:19
  Right.
• 2:19
  And,
• 2:20
  and
• 2:20
  you
• 2:20
  know,
• 2:20
  that
• 2:21
  was
• 2:21
  kind
• 2:21
  of
• 2:21
  the
• 2:21
  case
• 2:21
  like
• 2:22
  earlier
• 2:23
  on,
• 2:24
  you
• 2:24
  know,
• 2:25
  back
• 2:25
  in
• 2:25
  England,
• 2:25
  you
• 2:26
  know,
• 2:26
  when
• 2:26
  they,
• 2:26
  when
• 2:26
  they
• 2:27
  were
• 2:27
  playing
• 2:27
  both
• 2:27
  soccer
• 2:28
  and
• 2:28
  rugby,
• 2:28
  you
• 2:28
  know,
• 2:28
  if
• 2:29
  you
• 2:29
  kick
• 2:29
  the
• 2:29
  ball
• 2:29
  under
• 2:30
  that
• 2:31
  rope
• 2:31
  or
• 2:32
  crossbar
• 2:33
  for
• 2:34
  soccer
• 2:34
  and
• 2:34
  you
• 2:35
  kicked
• 2:35
  it
• 2:35
  over
• 2:35
  for
• 2:35
  rugby.
• 2:36
  Right.
• 2:36
  And
• 2:37
  so
• 2:38
  that
• 2:38
  was
• 2:38
  kind
• 2:38
  of
• 2:38
  the
• 2:39
  original
• 2:40
  thing
• 2:40
  going
• 2:41
  on.
• 2:41
  Maybe
• 2:41
  play
• 2:41
  a
• 2:42
  game
• 2:42
  of
• 2:42
  badminton
• 2:42
  after,
• 2:43
  afterwards.
• 2:43
  Right.
• 2:44
  Or
• 2:44
  croquet.
• 2:46
  Okay.
• 2:48
  But
• 2:48
  like,
• 2:48
  you
• 2:49
  know,
• 2:49
  when
• 2:49
  they,
• 2:49
  when
• 2:50
  go
• 2:50
  post
• 2:50
  began,
• 2:51
  they
• 2:51
  were
• 2:51
  all
• 2:51
  the,
• 2:52
  you
• 2:52
  know,
• 2:52
  what
• 2:52
  I'll
• 2:52
  just
• 2:52
  call
• 2:53
  the
• 2:53
  H
• 2:53
  style.
• 2:54
  Right.
• 2:54
  Kind
• 2:54
  of
• 2:54
  the
• 2:54
  traditional
• 2:55
  two
• 2:55
  post
• 2:55
  and
• 2:56
  a
• 2:56
  crossbar.
• 2:57
  And
• 2:57
  they
• 2:57
  were
• 2:57
  planted
• 2:58
  on
• 2:58
  the
• 2:58
  goal
• 2:59
  line,
• 2:59
  which
• 2:59
  is
• 2:59
  why
• 3:00
  it's
• 3:00
  called
• 3:00
  the
• 3:01
  goal
• 3:01
  line.
• 3:01
  Right.
• 3:03
  And
• 3:04
  so,
• 3:05
  so
• 3:05
  that
• 3:05
  went
• 3:06
  on,
• 3:06
  you
• 3:06
  know,
• 3:06
  for
• 3:07
  long,
• 3:07
  long
• 3:07
  time.
• 3:07
  And
• 3:08
  you
• 3:08
  know,
• 3:08
  a
• 3:08
  lot
• 3:09
  of
• 3:09
  them
• 3:09
  were
• 3:09
  just,
• 3:10
  especially
• 3:11
  the,
• 3:12
  like
• 3:12
  small
• 3:12
  towns.
• 3:13
  I
• 3:13
  mean,
• 3:13
  they
• 3:13
  just,
• 3:14
  I
• 3:14
  did
• 3:14
  a
• 3:15
  post
• 3:15
  one
• 3:15
  time
• 3:15
  about
• 3:15
  them
• 3:16
  just,
• 3:17
  just
• 3:17
  images
• 3:17
  of
• 3:18
  just
• 3:18
  really
• 3:18
  cheesy
• 3:19
  beat
• 3:20
  up
• 3:20
  like
• 3:20
  crooked
• 3:21
  goal
• 3:21
  posts.
• 3:21
  I
• 3:21
  mean,
• 3:22
  it
• 3:22
  was
• 3:22
  just
• 3:22
  the
• 3:22
  best
• 3:22
  they
• 3:22
  could
• 3:23
  do
• 3:23
  with
• 3:23
  scrap
• 3:24
  lumber.
• 3:24
  Right.
• 3:26
  But
• 3:27
  so
• 3:27
  anyways,
• 3:29
  you
• 3:29
  know,
• 3:29
  so
• 3:29
  they.
• 3:30
  The
• 3:31
  goal
• 3:31
  posts
• 3:32
  were
• 3:32
  on
• 3:32
  the
• 3:32
  goal
• 3:32
  line
• 3:33
  from
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  beginning,
• 3:35
  but
• 3:35
  they
• 3:35
  got
• 3:35
  in
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  way.
• 3:36
  You
• 3:36
  know,
• 3:36
  and
• 3:37
  so
• 3:37
  their
• 3:38
  stories
• 3:38
  of.
• 3:40
  And
• 3:40
  the
• 3:41
  way
• 3:41
  I
• 3:41
  told
• 3:41
  this
• 3:42
  particular
• 3:42
  tidbit,
• 3:43
  I
• 3:43
  was
• 3:43
  focused
• 3:43
  on
• 3:43
  Harvard,
• 3:44
  Yale,
• 3:44
  because,
• 3:45
  like,
• 3:45
  in
• 3:45
  1899,
• 3:46
  there
• 3:46
  was
• 3:47
  a
• 3:48
  Harvard
• 3:48
  player
• 3:49
  was
• 3:49
  trying
• 3:50
  to
• 3:50
  score.
• 3:51
  You
• 3:51
  know,
• 3:51
  they
• 3:51
  had
• 3:51
  the
• 3:51
  ball
• 3:51
  on
• 3:52
  the
• 3:52
  two
• 3:52
  or
• 3:52
  something
• 3:52
  like
• 3:53
  that,
• 3:53
  and,
• 3:53
  you
• 3:54
  know,
• 3:54
  ends
• 3:54
  up
• 3:54
  running
• 3:55
  at
• 3:55
  the
• 3:55
  goal
• 3:55
  posts,
• 3:56
  you
• 3:56
  know,
• 3:56
  and
• 3:57
  the
• 3:57
  Yale
• 3:58
  defenders
• 3:58
  kind
• 3:59
  of
• 3:59
  brace
• 3:59
  themselves
• 4:00
  against
• 4:00
  the
• 4:00
  posts
• 4:01
  and
• 4:01
  are
• 4:01
  able
• 4:01
  to
• 4:01
  stop
• 4:02
  the
• 4:02
  Harvard
• 4:02
  runner,
• 4:03
  and
• 4:03
  then
• 4:03
  they
• 4:03
  end
• 4:03
  up
• 4:03
  either
• 4:04
  losing
• 4:04
  or
• 4:04
  tying.
• 4:06
  And
• 4:06
  then
• 4:07
  similar
• 4:08
  thing
• 4:08
  happened
• 4:08
  a
• 4:08
  few
• 4:09
  years
• 4:09
  later,
• 4:09
  except
• 4:10
  the
• 4:10
  Harvard
• 4:10
  runner.
• 4:11
  Absolutely.
• 4:12
  They
• 4:12
  ran
• 4:12
  into
• 4:13
  the
• 4:13
  goalpost
• 4:13
  and
• 4:14
  fell
• 4:14
  back.
• 4:15
  So
• 4:15
  it
• 4:15
  wasn't
• 4:16
  even
• 4:16
  a
• 4:16
  defender
• 4:17
  that
• 4:17
  stopped
• 4:17
  him.
• 4:18
  But.
• 4:18
  But.
• 4:19
  So
• 4:19
  the
• 4:19
  point
• 4:19
  is
• 4:19
  that
• 4:20
  they
• 4:20
  got
• 4:20
  in
• 4:20
  the
• 4:20
  way.
• 4:20
  You
• 4:21
  know,
• 4:21
  they.
• 4:21
  And
• 4:22
  this
• 4:22
  is
• 4:22
  before
• 4:22
  the
• 4:22
  forward
• 4:23
  pass,
• 4:24
  so.
• 4:24
  But
• 4:24
  they
• 4:24
  just.
• 4:25
  They
• 4:25
  got
• 4:25
  in
• 4:26
  the
• 4:26
  way
• 4:26
  and
• 4:26
  they
• 4:26
  were
• 4:26
  an
• 4:27
  obstacle.
• 4:28
  And
• 4:28
  so
• 4:29
  after
• 4:29
  that,
• 4:29
  1899,
• 4:30
  eventually
• 4:31
  there
• 4:31
  was
• 4:32
  a
• 4:32
  Harvard
• 4:32
  guy,
• 4:34
  Edward
• 4:35
  Manley,
• 4:36
  who
• 4:36
  invented
• 4:36
  what
• 4:37
  was
• 4:37
  called
• 4:37
  the
• 4:38
  safety
• 4:38
  goalpost.
• 4:40
  And
• 4:41
  it's.
• 4:42
  You
• 4:42
  know,
• 4:42
  if
• 4:43
  you
• 4:43
  look
• 4:43
  at
• 4:43
  old
• 4:43
  pictures,
• 4:44
  you'll
• 4:44
  see
• 4:44
  these
• 4:45
  things
• 4:45
  popping
• 4:45
  up
• 4:45
  from
• 4:46
  time
• 4:46
  to
• 4:46
  time.
• 4:47
  And
• 4:47
  he
• 4:47
  patented.
• 4:48
  You
• 4:48
  know,
• 4:48
  he
• 4:48
  has
• 4:48
  a
• 4:48
  patent
• 4:49
  on
• 4:49
  him,
• 4:49
  but
• 4:50
  it
• 4:50
  was
• 4:50
  basically,
• 4:51
  he
• 4:51
  had
• 4:51
  the
• 4:51
  two
• 4:51
  posts
• 4:52
  like
• 4:52
  normal,
• 4:53
  but
• 4:53
  they
• 4:53
  were
• 4:54
  planted
• 4:54
  like
• 4:55
  three
• 4:55
  to
• 4:55
  four,
• 4:56
  even
• 4:56
  five
• 4:57
  yards
• 4:57
  behind
• 4:57
  the
• 4:58
  goal
• 4:58
  line.
• 4:59
  And
• 4:59
  then.
• 5:00
  So
• 5:00
  you'd
• 5:01
  have
• 5:01
  a
• 5:01
  kind
• 5:02
  of
• 5:02
  a.
• 5:02
  You'd
• 5:03
  have
• 5:03
  a
• 5:03
  post,
• 5:04
  and
• 5:04
  then.
• 5:05
  Then
• 5:05
  you'd
• 5:05
  have
• 5:06
  like,
• 5:06
  an
• 5:06
  extension
• 5:06
  and
• 5:07
  bracing
• 5:07
  that
• 5:08
  would
• 5:08
  hold
• 5:08
  up
• 5:09
  the
• 5:09
  uprights
• 5:10
  that
• 5:10
  were
• 5:10
  actually
• 5:11
  over
• 5:11
  the
• 5:12
  goal
• 5:12
  line.
• 5:13
  Right.
• 5:13
  So
• 5:13
  the
• 5:13
  posts
• 5:14
  were
• 5:14
  several
• 5:14
  yards
• 5:14
  off
• 5:15
  the
• 5:15
  line,
• 5:15
  but
• 5:16
  the
• 5:16
  uprights
• 5:16
  and
• 5:17
  the
• 5:17
  crossbar
• 5:17
  were
• 5:18
  over
• 5:18
  the
• 5:18
  goal
• 5:18
  line.
• 5:19
  And
• 5:20
  in
• 5:20
  his
• 5:20
  patent,
• 5:21
  he
• 5:21
  shows
• 5:22
  a
• 5:22
  single,
• 5:23
  you
• 5:23
  know,
• 5:23
  single
• 5:24
  post
• 5:24
  design.
• 5:25
  But
• 5:25
  I
• 5:25
  think,
• 5:26
  you
• 5:26
  know,
• 5:26
  they
• 5:26
  were
• 5:26
  making
• 5:26
  them
• 5:27
  out
• 5:27
  of
• 5:27
  wood,
• 5:27
  and
• 5:27
  he
• 5:27
  probably,
• 5:27
  he.
• 5:28
  They
• 5:28
  just
• 5:28
  couldn't
• 5:29
  figure
• 5:29
  out
• 5:29
  how
• 5:29
  to.
• 5:29
  How
• 5:30
  to
• 5:30
  support
• 5:30
  all
• 5:30
  that
• 5:30
  weight
• 5:31
  on
• 5:31
  that
• 5:32
  one
• 5:32
  post.
• 5:33
  So
• 5:33
  anyways,
• 5:34
  I've
• 5:34
  never
• 5:34
  seen
• 5:34
  an
• 5:35
  image
• 5:35
  of
• 5:35
  one
• 5:35
  of
• 5:35
  those
• 5:36
  early
• 5:36
  ones,
• 5:37
  but.
• 5:38
  So
• 5:38
  everybody
• 5:38
  used
• 5:39
  either
• 5:39
  the
• 5:40
  H
• 5:41
  design
• 5:41
  or
• 5:42
  the
• 5:42
  safety
• 5:42
  goal
• 5:43
  post
• 5:43
  design.
• 5:44
  And
• 5:45
  I
• 5:46
  think
• 5:46
  part
• 5:46
  of
• 5:46
  the
• 5:46
  reason
• 5:47
  why
• 5:47
  his
• 5:48
  goal
• 5:48
  posts,
• 5:49
  while
• 5:49
  the
• 5:49
  safety
• 5:50
  goal
• 5:50
  post
• 5:50
  didn't
• 5:50
  turn
• 5:50
  out
• 5:51
  to
• 5:51
  be
• 5:51
  that
• 5:52
  popular
• 5:52
  is
• 5:53
  that
• 5:53
  he
• 5:53
  charged
• 5:53
  50
• 5:54
  bucks
• 5:54
  for
• 5:54
  every
• 5:54
  installation.
• 5:55
  And
• 5:55
  so
• 5:56
  you
• 5:56
  probably
• 5:57
  didn't
• 5:57
  collect
• 5:57
  on
• 5:57
  all
• 5:57
  of
• 5:58
  them,
• 5:58
  but,
• 5:58
  you
• 5:58
  know,
• 5:59
  that.
• 5:59
  That
• 5:59
  would
• 5:59
  have
• 5:59
  kept
• 6:00
  50
• 6:00
  bucks
• 6:00
  was,
• 6:00
  you
• 6:01
  know,
• 6:01
  some
• 6:01
  pretty
• 6:01
  good
• 6:01
  money
• 6:01
  back
• 6:02
  then.
• 6:02
  Yeah.
• 6:04
  So.
• 6:05
  And
• 6:05
  then.
• 6:06
  So
• 6:06
  just
• 6:06
  another
• 6:06
  little
• 6:07
  thing
• 6:07
  on
• 6:07
  the
• 6:07
  evolution
• 6:08
  of
• 6:08
  goal
• 6:08
  posts,
• 6:09
  I
• 6:09
  found
• 6:10
  there's
• 6:10
  a
• 6:10
  lot
• 6:10
  of,
• 6:11
  like,
• 6:11
  a
• 6:11
  lot
• 6:11
  of
• 6:11
  things
• 6:12
  Amos
• 6:13
  Alonzo
• 6:13
  Stagg
• 6:14
  is
• 6:14
  credited
• 6:14
  with
• 6:14
  being
• 6:15
  the
• 6:15
  guy
• 6:15
  who
• 6:15
  padded
• 6:16
  the
• 6:16
  first
• 6:16
  goal
• 6:16
  post.
• 6:17
  But
• 6:17
  he
• 6:18
  didn't.
• 6:18
  You
• 6:18
  know,
• 6:18
  there
• 6:19
  was.
• 6:20
  I
• 6:20
  found
• 6:21
  examples
• 6:21
  from
• 6:22
  like
• 6:22
  1896
• 6:23
  of
• 6:24
  places
• 6:24
  that
• 6:24
  padded
• 6:25
  their
• 6:25
  goal
• 6:25
  post.
• 6:25
  And
• 6:26
  then
• 6:27
  like,
• 6:27
  I've
• 6:28
  read
• 6:28
  things
• 6:28
  like,
• 6:29
  you
• 6:29
  know,
• 6:29
  stag
• 6:31
  saying
• 6:31
  stag
• 6:31
  invented
• 6:32
  them,
• 6:32
  but,
• 6:33
  you
• 6:33
  know,
• 6:33
  they
• 6:33
  were
• 6:33
  out
• 6:34
  there.
• 6:34
  And
• 6:34
  I've
• 6:34
  got
• 6:34
  images
• 6:35
  and
• 6:35
  I
• 6:35
  think
• 6:35
  I've
• 6:36
  got
• 6:36
  them
• 6:36
  in
• 6:36
  the.
• 6:37
  In
• 6:37
  the
• 6:37
  tidbit
• 6:39
  images
• 6:39
  of
• 6:39
  padded
• 6:40
  goalposts.
• 6:42
  And
• 6:42
  yet
• 6:42
  in
• 6:42
  1905,
• 6:45
  Chicago
• 6:46
  Field
• 6:46
  still
• 6:46
  didn't
• 6:47
  have
• 6:47
  padded
• 6:47
  goalposts.
• 6:48
  So,
• 6:48
  you
• 6:49
  know,
• 6:49
  he
• 6:49
  clearly
• 6:49
  wasn't.
• 6:51
  Wasn't
• 6:51
  invented
• 6:51
  him.
• 6:51
  He
• 6:52
  didn't
• 6:52
  use
• 6:52
  them.
• 6:52
  Right?
• 6:52
  Yeah,
• 6:53
  yeah,
• 6:53
  exactly.
• 6:53
  It's
• 6:54
  like,
• 6:54
  yeah,
• 6:54
  sorry,
• 6:54
  I
• 6:55
  don't
• 6:55
  believe
• 6:55
  that.
• 6:56
  1906,
• 6:56
  yet
• 6:57
  he
• 6:57
  wrapped
• 6:57
  a
• 6:57
  mattress
• 6:58
  around
• 6:59
  the
• 6:59
  post.
• 6:59
  So
• 7:00
  anyways,
• 7:02
  so
• 7:02
  then
• 7:02
  you
• 7:03
  get
• 7:03
  into
• 7:03
  the
• 7:03
  whole,
• 7:03
  okay,
• 7:04
  goal
• 7:04
  line
• 7:04
  versus
• 7:05
  inline.
• 7:06
  And
• 7:06
  so
• 7:07
  it
• 7:07
  was
• 7:07
  always
• 7:07
  on
• 7:07
  the
• 7:07
  goal
• 7:08
  line.
• 7:08
  And
• 7:08
  then
• 7:09
  in
• 7:09
  college,
• 7:10
  they
• 7:11
  were
• 7:14
  the,
• 7:14
  you
• 7:15
  know,
• 7:15
  and
• 7:15
  they
• 7:15
  moved.
• 7:16
  They
• 7:16
  moved
• 7:16
  the
• 7:16
  goal
• 7:17
  post
• 7:17
  to
• 7:17
  the
• 7:18
  end
• 7:18
  line
• 7:18
  in
• 7:18
  27.
• 7:20
  And
• 7:20
  the
• 7:20
  rationale
• 7:21
  is
• 7:21
  kind
• 7:21
  of
• 7:21
  somewhat
• 7:22
  safety
• 7:22
  oriented,
• 7:23
  but
• 7:23
  it
• 7:23
  was
• 7:23
  also,
• 7:24
  you
• 7:24
  know,
• 7:25
  back
• 7:25
  then,
• 7:25
  you
• 7:25
  didn't
• 7:25
  have,
• 7:27
  you
• 7:27
  didn't
• 7:27
  have
• 7:27
  hash
• 7:28
  marks.
• 7:29
  And
• 7:29
  so,
• 7:29
  you
• 7:29
  know,
• 7:30
  you
• 7:30
  could
• 7:30
  have
• 7:30
  the
• 7:30
  ball
• 7:31
  way
• 7:32
  over
• 7:32
  near
• 7:32
  the.
• 7:33
  The
• 7:33
  sideline.
• 7:34
  Right?
• 7:34
  I
• 7:34
  mean,
• 7:34
  you
• 7:34
  could.
• 7:34
  That
• 7:35
  where
• 7:35
  you.
• 7:35
  That's
• 7:35
  where
• 7:35
  you
• 7:36
  could
• 7:36
  be
• 7:36
  on
• 7:36
  fourth
• 7:36
  down
• 7:37
  when
• 7:37
  you're
• 7:37
  trying
• 7:37
  to
• 7:37
  kick
• 7:37
  a
• 7:37
  field
• 7:38
  goal.
• 7:39
  So
• 7:39
  part
• 7:39
  of
• 7:40
  the
• 7:40
  rationale
• 7:40
  for
• 7:40
  moving
• 7:40
  it
• 7:41
  to
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41
  end
• 7:41
  line
• 7:41
  was
• 7:41
  to
• 7:42
  give
• 7:42
  people
• 7:42
  better
• 7:42
  angles
• 7:44
  to.
• 7:44
  To
• 7:44
  kick.
• 7:45
  Now
• 7:46
  it
• 7:46
  would
• 7:46
  be
• 7:46
  10
• 7:47
  yards
• 7:47
  further.
• 7:48
  So
• 7:49
  presumably
• 7:49
  you,
• 7:51
  you
• 7:51
  know,
• 7:51
  you
• 7:51
  had,
• 7:51
  you
• 7:52
  couldn't.
• 7:53
  You'd
• 7:54
  have
• 7:54
  to
• 7:54
  be
• 7:54
  closer
• 7:54
  to,
• 7:54
  you
• 7:55
  know,
• 7:55
  for
• 7:55
  the
• 7:55
  same
• 7:55
  kind
• 7:56
  of
• 7:56
  distance.
• 7:58
  So
• 7:58
  anyways,
• 7:59
  and
• 7:59
  then
• 7:59
  like,
• 8:00
  the
• 8:00
  NFL
• 8:00
  basically
• 8:01
  did
• 8:01
  the
• 8:01
  same
• 8:01
  thing.
• 8:01
  They
• 8:02
  use
• 8:02
  college
• 8:03
  rules.
• 8:03
  But
• 8:04
  then
• 8:04
  like
• 8:04
  in
• 8:04
  1932,
• 8:05
  31
• 8:06
  or
• 8:06
  32,
• 8:07
  they.
• 8:09
  They
• 8:09
  had
• 8:09
  like
• 8:10
  20
• 8:10
  of
• 8:11
  their
• 8:11
  games
• 8:11
  ended
• 8:11
  in
• 8:11
  ties.
• 8:13
  So
• 8:13
  they
• 8:14
  said,
• 8:14
  okay,
• 8:14
  we
• 8:14
  got
• 8:14
  to
• 8:15
  stop
• 8:15
  all
• 8:15
  these
• 8:15
  ties.
• 8:16
  So
• 8:17
  they
• 8:17
  moved
• 8:17
  the
• 8:17
  goal
• 8:18
  post
• 8:18
  to
• 8:19
  the
• 8:19
  goal
• 8:19
  line
• 8:19
  to
• 8:20
  try
• 8:20
  to,
• 8:21
  you
• 8:21
  know,
• 8:21
  encourage
• 8:21
  scoring.
• 8:22
  And
• 8:23
  I'm
• 8:24
  not
• 8:24
  sure
• 8:24
  it
• 8:24
  did
• 8:24
  a
• 8:24
  whole
• 8:25
  lot,
• 8:25
  but,
• 8:25
  you
• 8:25
  know,
• 8:26
  because
• 8:26
  both
• 8:26
  teams
• 8:27
  still
• 8:27
  had
• 8:27
  more
• 8:28
  or
• 8:28
  less
• 8:28
  equal
• 8:28
  chances.
• 8:30
  Well,
• 8:30
  they
• 8:30
  had
• 8:31
  a
• 8:31
  championship
• 8:32
  game,
• 8:32
  was
• 8:32
  a
• 8:32
  Sammy
• 8:32
  Boss.
• 8:33
  They
• 8:33
  scored
• 8:33
  a
• 8:34
  safety
• 8:34
  because
• 8:34
  they
• 8:34
  threw
• 8:34
  a
• 8:34
  pass
• 8:35
  and
• 8:35
  it
• 8:35
  hit
• 8:35
  the.
• 8:36
  The
• 8:36
  goal
• 8:36
  post
• 8:36
  and
• 8:37
  they
• 8:37
  counted
• 8:38
  as
• 8:38
  a
• 8:38
  safety
• 8:38
  and
• 8:39
  Washington
• 8:40
  lost
• 8:40
  by
• 8:40
  two
• 8:40
  or
• 8:40
  something.
• 8:41
  If
• 8:41
  I
• 8:42
  remember
• 8:42
  correctly,
• 8:43
  the
• 8:43
  game
• 8:44
  with
• 8:44
  that
• 8:44
  safety
• 8:45
  by
• 8:45
  his
• 8:45
  pass.
• 8:46
  Yeah,
• 8:47
  there
• 8:47
  were.
• 8:48
  It
• 8:48
  did
• 8:49
  increase
• 8:49
  scoring
• 8:49
  that
• 8:49
  way
• 8:50
  too,
• 8:50
  I
• 8:50
  guess.
• 8:50
  Yeah,
• 8:51
  I
• 8:51
  guess
• 8:51
  so.
• 8:52
  I
• 8:52
  mean,
• 8:52
  there
• 8:52
  were
• 8:53
  some
• 8:53
  strange
• 8:53
  rules
• 8:53
  about,
• 8:54
  you
• 8:54
  know,
• 8:55
  can
• 8:56
  you.
• 8:56
  Because
• 8:56
  I
• 8:56
  did
• 8:56
  a
• 8:57
  story
• 8:57
  on
• 8:57
  Doinks,
• 8:58
  you
• 8:58
  know,
• 8:59
  fairly
• 8:59
  Recently.
• 9:00
  And
• 9:00
  so
• 9:01
  some
• 9:01
  of
• 9:01
  them,
• 9:02
  you
• 9:02
  know,
• 9:02
  sometimes
• 9:03
  the,
• 9:03
  the
• 9:03
  doink
• 9:04
  was
• 9:04
  automatically,
• 9:06
  you
• 9:06
  know,
• 9:06
  the
• 9:06
  play
• 9:07
  ended.
• 9:07
  Other
• 9:08
  times
• 9:08
  it
• 9:08
  was
• 9:08
  still
• 9:09
  live
• 9:09
  ball.
• 9:09
  So,
• 9:10
  you
• 9:10
  know,
• 9:10
  who
• 9:10
  knows?
• 9:13
  But
• 9:13
  then,
• 9:13
  so
• 9:14
  then
• 9:14
  the
• 9:14
  NFL,
• 9:16
  they
• 9:16
  went
• 9:17
  to
• 9:17
  the,
• 9:18
  they
• 9:18
  moved
• 9:18
  it
• 9:18
  to
• 9:19
  the
• 9:19
  end
• 9:19
  line
• 9:19
  in
• 9:19
  74.
• 9:21
  And
• 9:21
  that's
• 9:21
  largely
• 9:22
  because,
• 9:23
  you
• 9:23
  know,
• 9:23
  in
• 9:23
  the
• 9:23
  60s,
• 9:24
  it's
• 9:24
  really
• 9:24
  when
• 9:25
  soccer
• 9:25
  style
• 9:26
  kicking
• 9:26
  took
• 9:27
  over.
• 9:27
  I
• 9:27
  mean,
• 9:27
  they'd
• 9:27
  had
• 9:28
  soccer
• 9:28
  style
• 9:28
  before
• 9:28
  that,
• 9:29
  but
• 9:29
  that's
• 9:29
  when
• 9:29
  it
• 9:29
  really
• 9:29
  became,
• 9:31
  you
• 9:31
  know,
• 9:31
  popular.
• 9:31
  And
• 9:31
  they
• 9:32
  were
• 9:32
  just
• 9:32
  booting
• 9:32
  the
• 9:32
  ball
• 9:32
  from
• 9:33
  so
• 9:33
  far
• 9:33
  out
• 9:33
  that
• 9:34
  they
• 9:34
  said,
• 9:34
  okay,
• 9:34
  we
• 9:34
  got
• 9:35
  to
• 9:35
  move
• 9:35
  this
• 9:35
  thing,
• 9:36
  we
• 9:36
  got
• 9:36
  to
• 9:36
  move
• 9:36
  these
• 9:36
  things
• 9:37
  back
• 9:37
  and
• 9:37
  make
• 9:37
  it
• 9:37
  harder
• 9:38
  again.
• 9:40
  But
• 9:40
  then
• 9:40
  the
• 9:41
  other
• 9:41
  piece
• 9:41
  of
• 9:41
  that
• 9:42
  is
• 9:42
  like
• 9:42
  in
• 9:43
  66,
• 9:44
  there's
• 9:45
  a
• 9:45
  guy
• 9:45
  named
• 9:45
  Jim
• 9:46
  Trimble,
• 9:46
  who
• 9:47
  he
• 9:47
  had
• 9:48
  been,
• 9:48
  I
• 9:48
  think
• 9:48
  the
• 9:49
  Eagles
• 9:49
  head
• 9:49
  coach.
• 9:50
  Pretty
• 9:50
  sure
• 9:51
  he's
• 9:51
  Eagles
• 9:51
  head
• 9:51
  coach,
• 9:52
  could
• 9:52
  be
• 9:53
  before
• 9:53
  that,
• 9:54
  but
• 9:55
  he
• 9:56
  was
• 9:56
  the
• 9:56
  Montreal
• 9:57
  Alouettes
• 9:57
  coach.
• 9:58
  And
• 9:58
  then
• 9:58
  he
• 9:59
  got
• 9:59
  fired.
• 9:59
  And
• 9:59
  so
• 9:59
  he's
• 10:00
  chatting
• 10:00
  with
• 10:01
  a
• 10:01
  buddy
• 10:01
  at
• 10:02
  breakfast
• 10:02
  one
• 10:02
  time
• 10:03
  talking
• 10:03
  about
• 10:04
  a
• 10:04
  game
• 10:04
  where
• 10:05
  like
• 10:05
  the
• 10:05
  defense
• 10:06
  had.
• 10:07
  On
• 10:07
  the
• 10:07
  Canadian
• 10:08
  field,
• 10:08
  you
• 10:08
  know,
• 10:08
  they
• 10:08
  had.
• 10:09
  The
• 10:10
  defender
• 10:10
  had
• 10:10
  braced
• 10:11
  himself
• 10:11
  against
• 10:11
  the
• 10:11
  goalpost,
• 10:13
  and
• 10:13
  supposedly
• 10:14
  one
• 10:14
  of
• 10:14
  them
• 10:14
  was
• 10:15
  toying
• 10:15
  around
• 10:15
  with
• 10:15
  their
• 10:16
  fork
• 10:16
  and
• 10:17
  they
• 10:17
  looked
• 10:17
  at
• 10:17
  it
• 10:17
  and
• 10:17
  kind
• 10:17
  of
• 10:17
  said,
• 10:18
  you
• 10:18
  know,
• 10:18
  we
• 10:18
  could,
• 10:19
  you
• 10:19
  could
• 10:19
  redesign
• 10:20
  the
• 10:20
  goal
• 10:20
  post
• 10:21
  to
• 10:21
  have
• 10:21
  a
• 10:22
  single
• 10:22
  post
• 10:22
  and
• 10:22
  then
• 10:23
  kind
• 10:23
  of
• 10:24
  gooseneck
• 10:24
  over,
• 10:25
  you
• 10:25
  know.
• 10:26
  So
• 10:26
  they
• 10:26
  came
• 10:26
  up
• 10:26
  with
• 10:27
  essentially
• 10:27
  the
• 10:27
  same
• 10:27
  design
• 10:28
  as
• 10:28
  the
• 10:29
  safety
• 10:29
  goalpost
• 10:29
  from
• 10:30
  19,
• 10:30
  1900,
• 10:32
  but
• 10:32
  it
• 10:32
  was
• 10:32
  all
• 10:33
  new
• 10:33
  and
• 10:33
  it
• 10:34
  was
• 10:34
  aluminum,
• 10:35
  you
• 10:35
  know.
• 10:36
  And
• 10:36
  so
• 10:37
  they
• 10:37
  were
• 10:38
  able
• 10:38
  to
• 10:38
  convince
• 10:39
  the
• 10:39
  NFL
• 10:40
  and
• 10:40
  to
• 10:40
  adopt
• 10:41
  their
• 10:41
  goal
• 10:41
  post
• 10:42
  in
• 10:42
  1967.
• 10:43
  So.
• 10:45
  And
• 10:45
  then
• 10:45
  they
• 10:45
  had
• 10:45
  increased
• 10:46
  to
• 10:46
  like
• 10:46
  20ft
• 10:46
  high.
• 10:47
  Now
• 10:47
  I
• 10:47
  think
• 10:47
  they're
• 10:47
  30ft
• 10:48
  high
• 10:48
  on
• 10:48
  the
• 10:48
  uprights.
• 10:50
  But
• 10:51
  NCAA,
• 10:52
  you
• 10:52
  can
• 10:52
  use
• 10:52
  either,
• 10:52
  you
• 10:53
  know,
• 10:53
  the
• 10:53
  H
• 10:53
  style
• 10:54
  or
• 10:54
  the,
• 10:55
  you
• 10:55
  know,
• 10:56
  slingshot
• 10:56
  gooseneck,
• 10:57
  you
• 10:57
  know,
• 10:58
  style
• 10:58
  of.
• 11:00
  Or
• 11:00
  Telegol,
• 11:01
  which
• 11:01
  is
• 11:01
  what.
• 11:01
  Which
• 11:01
  was
• 11:02
  their
• 11:02
  brand
• 11:02
  name.
• 11:03
  So
• 11:04
  that's
• 11:05
  kind
• 11:05
  of
• 11:05
  the,
• 11:07
  that's
• 11:07
  the
• 11:07
  story
• 11:07
  of
• 11:07
  GOPOs.
• 11:08
  And
• 11:08
  I
• 11:09
  didn't
• 11:09
  get
• 11:09
  into
• 11:09
  the
• 11:09
  width
• 11:09
  of
• 11:10
  them
• 11:10
  that
• 11:10
  changed
• 11:10
  from
• 11:11
  time
• 11:11
  to
• 11:11
  time.
• 11:11
  But
• 11:12
  yeah,
• 11:13
  it's,
• 11:14
  it's
• 11:14
  interesting,
• 11:14
  you
• 11:15
  know,
• 11:15
  like
• 11:15
  at
• 11:15
  the
• 11:15
  high
• 11:15
  school
• 11:16
  level
• 11:16
  and
• 11:17
  below.
• 11:18
  I
• 11:18
  don't,
• 11:18
  I
• 11:18
  don't.
• 11:19
  I
• 11:19
  think
• 11:20
  schools
• 11:20
  can
• 11:20
  still
• 11:21
  make
• 11:21
  them.
• 11:21
  I,
• 11:21
  I
• 11:21
  know
• 11:21
  like
• 11:22
  some
• 11:22
  of
• 11:22
  them
• 11:22
  I've
• 11:23
  been
• 11:23
  at
• 11:23
  schools
• 11:23
  like,
• 11:23
  where
• 11:23
  you
• 11:24
  can
• 11:24
  tell
• 11:24
  like
• 11:24
  their
• 11:24
  shop
• 11:25
  made
• 11:25
  them
• 11:25
  or,
• 11:25
  you
• 11:25
  know,
• 11:26
  shop
• 11:26
  class
• 11:27
  made
• 11:27
  them,
• 11:27
  you
• 11:27
  get
• 11:27
  these
• 11:28
  crazy
• 11:28
  looking
• 11:28
  and
• 11:29
  engineered
• 11:29
  designs
• 11:30
  and
• 11:30
  everything.
• 11:30
  And
• 11:31
  somewhere
• 11:31
  I
• 11:31
  have
• 11:31
  a
• 11:32
  collection
• 11:32
  of
• 11:32
  them.
• 11:32
  You
• 11:32
  know,
• 11:33
  I
• 11:33
  was
• 11:33
  visiting
• 11:33
  my
• 11:33
  mother
• 11:34
  when
• 11:34
  she
• 11:34
  lived
• 11:34
  down
• 11:34
  in
• 11:35
  Dallas,
• 11:35
  Fort
• 11:35
  Worth
• 11:36
  area,
• 11:36
  and
• 11:36
  I
• 11:36
  was
• 11:36
  Driving
• 11:37
  by
• 11:37
  a
• 11:37
  middle
• 11:37
  school
• 11:37
  and
• 11:38
  I
• 11:38
  saw
• 11:38
  this
• 11:38
  goal
• 11:38
  post.
• 11:38
  I'm
• 11:39
  like
• 11:39
  going,
• 11:39
  oh
• 11:39

• 11:39
  never
• 11:40
  saw
• 11:40
  anything
• 11:40
  like
• 11:40
  that.
• 11:40
  I
• 11:41
  got,
• 11:41
  I
• 11:41
  was
• 11:41
  taking
• 11:41
  pictures
• 11:42
  so
• 11:42
  I
• 11:42
  had
• 11:42
  like
• 11:42
  a
• 11:42
  collection
• 11:42
  of
• 11:42
  these
• 11:43
  things.
• 11:43
  I
• 11:43
  got
• 11:43
  a
• 11:43
  ton
• 11:43
  of
• 11:44
  dig
• 11:44
  that
• 11:44
  up
• 11:44
  sometime.
• 11:44
  And
• 11:45
  there's
• 11:46
  really

  I've,

  officiated
• 11:50
  games
• 11:50
  on
• 11:51
  and
• 11:51
  ones
• 11:51
  I
• 11:52
  just
• 11:52
  had
• 11:52
  observed.
• 11:53
  But
• 11:53
  yeah,
• 11:54
  some
• 11:54
  interesting
• 11:55
  ideas
• 11:55
  come
• 11:55
  out
• 11:55
  of
• 11:56
  people's
• 11:56
  minds
• 11:56
  on
• 11:56
  the
• 11:57
  goal
• 11:57
  post.
• 11:57
  Well,
• 11:58
  the
• 11:58
  old
• 11:58
  shop
• 11:58
  class
• 11:59
  thing
• 11:59
  is
• 11:59
  interesting
• 12:00
  too
• 12:00
  because
• 12:02
  you
• 12:02
  know,
• 12:02
  when

  I
• 12:05
  can't

• 12:05
  if
• 12:05
  I
• 12:05
  published
