- 3:34As
- 3:34a
- 3:3416
- 3:34year
- 3:35old
- 3:36flipping

- 3:48games
- 3:48called
- 3:48football
- 3:49that
- 3:50were
- 3:50clearly
- 3:50not
- 3:51American
- 3:51Football.
- 3:52Now
- 3:52I
- 3:53want
- 3:53to
- 3:54realize
- 3:54that
- 3:54I

- 3:55lot
- 3:55of

- 3:57football.
- 3:57No,
- 3:57I'm
- 3:58not
- 3:58an
- 3:58apologist.
- 3:59To
- 4:00me,
- 4:00when
- 4:00I'm
- 4:00in
- 4:00the
- 4:01US
- 4:01it's
- 4:01football.
- 4:02Because
- 4:03as
- 4:03we
- 4:03discussed
- 4:03a
- 4:03bit
- 4:03earlier,
- 4:04before
- 4:04we
- 4:05started,
- 4:06football's
- 4:06origins
- 4:07as
- 4:07a
- 4:07word,
- 4:08as
- 4:08a
- 4:08phrase
- 4:08does
- 4:09not
- 4:09come
- 4:09from
- 4:09soccer.
- 4:10So
- 4:10I'm
- 4:10not
- 4:11one
- 4:11of
- 4:11those
- 4:11people.
- 4:13But
- 4:13I
- 4:14was
- 4:14flipping
- 4:14through
- 4:14the
- 4:15channels
- 4:15and
- 4:16I
- 4:16found
- 4:18Australian
- 4:19Rules
- 4:19Football,
- 4:21to
- 4:21which
- 4:21the
- 4:22only
- 4:22Australian
- 4:23in
- 4:23the
- 4:23Football
- 4:23hall
- 4:24of
- 4:24Fame,
- 4:24American
- 4:24Football
- 4:24hall
- 4:25of
- 4:25Fame,
- 4:25is
- 4:25Pat
- 4:25o'
- 4:26Day
- 4:26from
- 4:26Kilmore,
- 4:27which
- 4:27is
- 4:27about
- 4:28an
- 4:28hour's
- 4:28drive
- 4:28north
- 4:29of
- 4:29Melbourne,
- 4:301896
- 4:31to
- 4:311900.
- 4:34Then
- 4:35we
- 4:36have,
- 4:36let's
- 4:36see,
- 4:37Rugby
- 4:37league,
- 4:38which
- 4:38is
- 4:39not
- 4:39Rugby
- 4:39Union.
- 4:40So
- 4:40the
- 4:40All
- 4:40Blacks
- 4:40would
- 4:40be
- 4:41Rugby
- 4:41Union,

- 4:43everybody's
- 4:43familiar
- 4:43with
- 4:43from
- 4:44New
- 4:44Zealand.
- 4:44Rugby
- 4:45League
- 4:45is
- 4:45the
- 4:46code
- 4:46that
- 4:47broke
- 4:47off
- 4:47from
- 4:48Rugby
- 4:48Union
- 4:49because
- 4:49they
- 4:49wanted
- 4:50to
- 4:50make
- 4:50sure
- 4:50their
- 4:50players,
- 4:51should
- 4:51they
- 4:51be
- 4:51injured,
- 4:52have
- 4:52payment
- 4:53so
- 4:53if
- 4:54they
- 4:54couldn't
- 4:54go
- 4:54to
- 4:54work
- 4:54that
- 4:55they
- 4:55would
- 4:55be
- 4:55properly
- 4:55supported.
- 4:56And
- 4:56for
- 4:56the
- 4:56first
- 4:5710
- 4:57years,
- 4:57it
- 4:57was
- 4:57the
- 4:57same
- 4:58exact
- 4:58rules
- 4:58from
- 4:581896
- 4:59to
- 4:591906,
- 5:01but
- 5:01for
- 5:02player
- 5:02payment.
- 5:02And
- 5:02the
- 5:02administrators
- 5:05mostly
- 5:05in
- 5:05pockets
- 5:06along
- 5:06the
- 5:06M62
- 5:08in
- 5:08the
- 5:08north
- 5:08of
- 5:08England,
- 5:09which
- 5:09is
- 5:09really
- 5:09the
- 5:09middle
- 5:10because
- 5:10it's
- 5:10halfway
- 5:10to
- 5:10Newcastle.
- 5:11That's
- 5:11the
- 5:11end
- 5:11of
- 5:11the
- 5:11line,
- 5:12but
- 5:12it's
- 5:13called
- 5:13the
- 5:13North.
- 5:13It's
- 5:14almost
- 5:14like
- 5:14San
- 5:14Francisco
- 5:15being
- 5:15Northern
- 5:15California.

- 5:22three
- 5:22codes
- 5:22and
- 5:23then

- 9:08Because
- 9:09our
- 9:09records
- 9:09show
- 9:10within

- 9:10Australian
- 9:10rules

- 9:20you'd
- 9:20scrummage
- 9:21after

- 9:21However,
- 9:23the

- 9:27But
- 9:27it

- 9:29flatline
- 9:29scrimmage
- 9:30that
- 9:31we

- 9:42I'm

- 31:58Absolutely.
- 32:00So
- 32:00ice
- 32:01hockey,
- 32:01to

- 32:16soccer
- 32:16is
- 32:16there's

- 32:17one
- 32:17mechanism
- 32:18of
- 32:18scoring.
- 32:19It's
- 32:20one
- 32:20point,
- 32:20it's

- 32:21That's

- 32:25Well,
- 32:25to
- 32:25break
- 32:26it
- 32:26down
- 32:26and
- 32:26we
- 32:26could
- 32:27do

- 32:27chart
- 32:27if
- 32:27we

- 32:28but
- 32:29we
- 32:29know

- 32:32kick
- 32:33or
- 32:33a
- 32:33triad
- 32:34goal,
- 32:35which
- 32:35is
- 32:35where

- 32:38There

- 32:49So
- 32:49that's
- 32:49number
- 32:50one.
- 32:50And
- 32:50now
- 32:50I'll
- 32:50answer
- 32:51the

- 32:51bit
- 32:51because
- 32:52that's
- 32:52more
- 32:52than
- 32:53enough
- 32:53preamble.
- 32:53But
- 32:54we
- 32:54know
- 32:54it's
- 32:54six
- 32:54and
- 32:55one.
- 32:55Or

- 33:06very

- 33:10of
- 33:10these
- 33:10codes
- 33:11have
- 33:11a
- 33:11safety.
- 33:11That's

- 33:20is
- 33:20what
- 33:20I
- 33:20just
- 33:20described,
- 33:20because

- 33:21frankly,

- 33:25in
- 33:25America

- 33:27There

- 33:29other
- 33:29side
- 33:29of

- 33:30But
- 33:30their
- 33:30scoring
- 33:30system
- 33:31is
- 33:31four
- 33:31for

- 33:42where
- 33:42you

- 35:43also
- 35:43want
- 35:43to
- 35:43point
- 35:44out
- 35:44the
- 35:44fact
- 35:45that
- 35:45the
- 35:46rules

- 35:48K
- 35:48balls,
- 35:48kicker
- 35:49balls
- 35:49is
- 35:49different
- 35:50this
- 35:50year.
- 35:51They're
- 35:51getting
- 35:51more
- 35:52balls
- 35:52than
- 35:52ever
- 35:53before
- 35:54the
- 35:54match
- 35:54even
- 35:54starts.
- 35:55So
- 35:55they
- 35:55can
- 35:55work
- 35:56those
- 35:56balls
- 35:56out.
- 35:56The
- 35:57sweet
- 35:57spot's
- 35:58bigger
- 35:58now.
- 35:58They
- 35:59know
- 35:59the
- 35:59ball.
- 35:59That's
- 36:00their
- 36:00preferred
- 36:00ball.
- 36:01I'm
- 36:01not
- 36:01taking
- 36:02anything
- 36:02away.
- 36:03That
- 36:03is
- 36:03a
- 36:0368
- 36:03yard
- 36:04field
- 36:04goal.
- 36:05But
- 36:05instead
- 36:05of
- 36:06getting
- 36:06a
- 36:06ball
- 36:0660
- 36:07to
- 36:0790
- 36:07minutes
- 36:07before
- 36:08a
- 36:08game
- 36:08and
- 36:08having
- 36:08a
- 36:09pretty
- 36:09hard,
- 36:09unexercised
- 36:10ball,
- 36:11these
- 36:11balls
- 36:11are
- 36:11more
- 36:12forgiving.
- 36:12Now
- 36:13it's
- 36:13not
- 36:13a
- 36:13different
- 36:13ball,
- 36:13but
- 36:14it's
- 36:14a
- 36:14more
- 36:14exercise.
- 36:14So
- 36:15I
- 36:15believe
- 36:15they're
- 36:15only
- 36:15allowed
- 36:15to
- 36:15use
- 36:16it
- 36:16for
- 36:16three
- 36:16games.
- 36:16They,
- 36:17they
- 36:17put
- 36:17a
- 36:17mark
- 36:18on
- 36:18them
- 36:18and
- 36:18once
- 36:18it
- 36:19gets
- 36:19three
- 36:19marks,
- 36:19the
- 36:20kicker
- 36:20can't
- 36:20use
- 36:20that
- 36:20for
- 36:21the
- 36:21fourth
- 36:21game.
- 36:22You
- 36:22know
- 36:22what,
- 36:24they
- 36:24are
- 36:24very
- 36:25smart.
- 36:25Coaches
- 36:26are
- 36:26smart.
- 36:27They
- 36:28find
- 36:28ways
- 36:28to
- 36:28maximize
- 36:29what
- 36:29they're
- 36:29given.
- 36:31So
- 36:31for
- 36:31those
- 36:31three
- 36:31games,
- 36:32you
- 36:32know,
- 36:32we
- 36:32still
- 36:32have
- 36:32the
- 36:33opportunity.
- 36:33And
- 36:33I
- 36:34am
- 36:34not
- 36:34taking
- 36:34anything
- 36:35away.
- 36:35It's
- 36:35almost
- 36:36like
- 36:36when
- 36:36people
- 36:36tried
- 36:37to
- 36:37say,
- 36:37oh,

- 36:40Denver.
- 36:41That's
- 36:41mile
- 36:41high.
- 36:42The
- 36:42air
- 36:42is
- 36:42so
- 36:42much
- 36:43thinner
- 36:43up
- 36:43there,
- 36:43which
- 36:43it
- 36:44is
- 36:44than
- 36:45when

- 36:46Dempsey
- 36:46kicked
- 36:46it
- 36:46in
- 36:471969,
- 36:49I
- 36:49believe

- 36:51it
- 36:51was
- 36:51the
- 36:51super
- 36:52bowl
- 36:52era.
- 36:54But

- 36:55he
- 36:55was
- 36:55down
- 36:56in
- 36:56New
- 36:56Orleans,
- 36:56which
- 36:56is
- 36:56below
- 36:56sea
- 36:57level.
- 36:58Nothing's
- 36:58ever
- 36:59going
- 36:59to
- 36:59be
- 36:59apples
- 36:59for
- 37:00apples.
- 37:00Perfectly.
- 37:01But
- 37:01if
- 37:01we're,
- 37:02if
- 37:02we're
- 37:02comparing
- 37:02apples,
- 37:02can
- 37:03we
- 37:03at
- 37:03least
- 37:03make
- 37:03sure
- 37:03they're

- 37:04apples?
- 37:06We're

- 37:06a
- 37:06Granny
- 37:07Smith

- 37:08not
- 37:09taking
- 37:09away
- 37:09anything
- 37:10from
- 37:1068
- 37:11yards.
- 37:11But
- 37:11the
- 37:11idea
- 37:12is
- 37:12it's
- 37:12exciting
- 37:12for
- 37:13everybody
- 37:13when

- 37:21the
- 37:21Steelers
- 37:22kicked

- 37:22yarder.
- 37:23So.
- 37:24And

- 37:56that

- 37:56never
- 37:57be
- 37:57broken
- 37:57because
- 37:57we

- 37:58100
- 37:58yard
- 37:58field
- 37:58now.
- 37:59Right.

- 38:07meant
- 38:07to
- 38:07be
- 38:07kicked
- 38:08back
- 38:08then.
- 38:08It

- 38:16that?
- 38:17I
- 38:17mean,
- 38:17you

- 38:17to
- 38:18go
- 38:18biblical,
- 38:18people
- 38:19say
- 38:19it
- 38:19says
- 38:19what?
- 38:19Noah
- 38:20was
- 38:20the
- 38:20greatest
- 38:20man
- 38:21of
- 38:21his
- 38:21time.
- 38:21Some
- 38:21people
- 38:21say
- 38:22it's
- 38:22incredible
- 38:23he
- 38:23was
- 38:23so
- 38:23great
- 38:24because
- 38:24everybody
- 38:25was
- 38:25so
- 38:25horrible.
- 38:26Other
- 38:26people
- 38:26would
- 38:26say,
- 38:26no,
- 38:27he
- 38:27wasn't
- 38:27as
- 38:27great
- 38:28as
- 38:28the
- 38:28later
- 38:28guys.
- 38:29Ah,
- 38:29you
- 38:29know,
- 38:29Abraham,
- 38:30Moses,
- 38:30you
- 38:30know,
- 38:31so
- 38:31on.
- 38:33But
- 38:33you
- 38:34know,
- 38:34some
- 38:34people
- 38:34say,
- 38:34oh,
- 38:34he
- 38:34was
- 38:35only
- 38:35great
- 38:35for
- 38:35his
- 38:36time.
- 38:37He
- 38:37wouldn't
- 38:37have
- 38:38been
- 38:38great
- 38:38otherwise.
- 38:38So
- 38:39I
- 38:39don't
- 38:39know.
- 38:40One
- 38:40point
- 38:40in
- 38:40his
- 38:40life
- 38:40he
- 38:41was
- 38:41one
- 38:41of
- 38:41only,
- 38:41what,
- 38:42three
- 38:42or
- 38:42four
- 38:42guys?
- 38:44Exactly.
- 38:44I
- 38:45don't
- 38:45like
- 38:45to
- 38:45punch
- 38:45down
- 38:45like
- 38:46that.
- 38:46I
- 38:46think
- 38:47everybody's
- 38:47great
- 38:47in
- 38:48their
- 38:48era.
- 38:48I
- 38:49don't
- 38:49think
- 38:49it's
- 38:49fair
- 38:49to
- 38:50make
- 38:50those
- 38:50comparisons.
- 38:51I
- 38:51think
- 38:51we
- 38:51need
- 38:51to
- 38:52appreciate
- 38:53what
- 38:53people
- 38:53did
- 38:54at
- 38:54their
- 38:54time.
- 38:55Because
- 38:55if
- 38:55they
- 38:56did
- 38:56it
- 38:56at
- 38:56that
- 38:56time,
- 38:57that
- 38:57meant
- 38:57it
- 38:57was
- 38:57amazing
- 38:58then
- 38:58and
- 38:59it
- 38:59should
- 38:59be
- 38:59amazing
- 38:59now.
- 39:00But
- 39:00can
- 39:00it
- 39:00be
- 39:01compared
- 39:01to
- 39:01somebody
- 39:02who's
- 39:02training
- 39:02professionally
- 39:03full
- 39:03time?
- 39:04That's
- 39:04not
- 39:05fair.
- 39:05That's
- 39:05not
- 39:06right.
- 39:06Because
- 39:07even
- 39:07Roger
- 39:08Bannister
- 39:08breaking
- 39:09the
- 39:09four
- 39:09minute
- 39:10mile,
- 39:10nobody
- 39:11did
- 39:11it
- 39:11before
- 39:11now.
- 39:11Now
- 39:12it's
- 39:12a
- 39:12fairly
- 39:12common
- 39:12thing.
- 39:13So
- 39:13we
- 39:14have
- 39:14to
- 39:14look
- 39:14at
- 39:14this.
- 39:15Going
- 39:15back
- 39:15to
- 39:16football.
- 39:17Why
- 39:17did
- 39:17people
- 39:18kick
- 39:18the
- 39:18ball
- 39:18away
- 39:19from
- 39:191880
- 39:20to
- 39:201882?
- 39:21Why
- 39:22there
- 39:22was
- 39:22unlimited
- 39:23downs.
- 39:23Why
- 39:24would
- 39:24you
- 39:24give
- 39:24up
- 39:24the
- 39:24ball?
- 39:25And
- 39:25you
- 39:25have
- 39:25to
- 39:26appreciate
- 39:26the
- 39:26world
- 39:26they
- 39:26came
- 39:27from.
- 39:27They
- 39:28believed,
- 39:29and
- 39:29partially,
- 39:29rightfully
- 39:30so,
- 39:30that
- 39:30the
- 39:31human
- 39:31body
- 39:31couldn't
- 39:31handle
- 39:32that
- 39:32much
- 39:32abuse
- 39:33in
- 39:33that
- 39:33position.
- 39:34And
- 39:34if
- 39:34you
- 39:34look
- 39:34at
- 39:35the
- 39:3518
- 39:35guys
- 39:36that
- 39:36died
- 39:36in
- 39:371905
- 39:38alone,
- 39:40most
- 39:40of
- 39:40them
- 39:40would
- 39:40not
- 39:41have
- 39:41died
- 39:41if
- 39:41they
- 39:41played
- 39:42today.
- 39:43Maybe
- 39:43it
- 39:43was
- 39:43gangrene,
- 39:44maybe
- 39:44it
- 39:44was
- 39:44sepsis,
- 39:44maybe
- 39:45it
- 39:45was
- 39:45a
- 39:45head
- 39:45knock
- 39:45where
- 39:45fluid
- 39:46just
- 39:46needed
- 39:46to
- 39:46be
- 39:46drained
- 39:47from
- 39:47the
- 39:47brain.
- 39:47We
- 39:48had
- 39:48a
- 39:48really
- 39:48sad
- 39:48story
- 39:49come
- 39:49up
- 39:49recently
- 39:49in
- 39:50rugby
- 39:50league.
- 39:52The
- 39:52guy
- 39:52is
- 39:52alive.
- 39:53He
- 39:53would
- 39:53have
- 39:53died
- 39:54100
- 39:54years
- 39:54ago.
- 39:55So
- 39:55there,
- 39:55there
- 39:56is
- 39:56good
- 39:56reason
- 39:56that
- 39:57we
- 39:57just
- 39:57don't
- 39:57really
- 39:57consider
- 39:58today.
- 39:59So
- 39:59back
- 40:00to
- 40:00the
- 40:00point
- 40:00scoring
- 40:00and
- 40:01I'll
- 40:01make
- 40:01it
- 40:01quick
- 40:01now
- 40:01because
- 40:02that
- 40:02was
- 40:02great.
- 40:03Tangential,
- 40:04but
- 40:04great.
- 40:04Rugby
- 40:05union
- 40:05has
- 40:05five
- 40:06points
- 40:06for
- 40:06the
- 40:06try,
- 40:07two
- 40:07points
- 40:07for
- 40:07the
- 40:08conversion,
- 40:09three
- 40:09points
- 40:09for
- 40:09the
- 40:09penalty
- 40:10kick
- 40:10and
- 40:10three
- 40:11points
- 40:11for
- 40:11the
- 40:11drop
- 40:12goal.
- 40:13Gaelic
- 40:13football
- 40:14has
- 40:14three
- 40:15points
- 40:15for
- 40:15the
- 40:15goal
- 40:16and
- 40:16it
- 40:16looks
- 40:16like
- 40:16a
- 40:17soccer
- 40:17goal
- 40:17and
- 40:18it
- 40:18has
- 40:19one
- 40:19point
- 40:19for
- 40:20the
- 40:20over.
- 40:20So
- 40:21it's
- 40:21soccer
- 40:21goal
- 40:21with
- 40:22uprights
- 40:22that
- 40:23continue
- 40:23upward.
- 40:23But
- 40:24if
- 40:24you
- 40:24kick
- 40:24it
- 40:24from
- 40:24beyond
- 40:25a
- 40:25certain
- 40:25distance,
- 40:25again,
- 40:26that's
- 40:26two
- 40:26points.
- 40:27And
- 40:27that's
- 40:27a
- 40:27fairly
- 40:27new
- 40:27law.
- 40:28Australian
- 40:29rules
- 40:29has
- 40:30four
- 40:30posts,
- 40:31no
- 40:31crossbar.
- 40:32You've
- 40:32got
- 40:33six
- 40:33points
- 40:33if
- 40:34you

- 40:35touching
- 40:36those
- 40:36big
- 40:36ones
- 40:36in
- 40:36the
- 40:36middle.
- 40:37And
- 40:37you
- 40:37get
- 40:38one
- 40:38point
- 40:38if
- 40:39it
- 40:39goes
- 40:39through
- 40:39after
- 40:39touching
- 40:40those
- 40:40but
- 40:40between
- 40:41the
- 40:41two
- 40:41shorter
- 40:41outside
- 40:42posts.
- 40:42Those
- 40:42are
- 40:43called
- 40:43behind
- 40:43posts.
- 40:44Back
- 40:44in
- 40:45the
- 40:45day,
- 40:45Gaelic
- 40:45football
- 40:45also
- 40:46had
- 40:46behind
- 40:47posts.
- 40:47They
- 40:47also
- 40:47had
- 40:48five
- 40:48points
- 40:48for
- 40:48a
- 40:48goal.
- 40:49These
- 40:49things
- 40:49are
- 40:49fluid
- 40:50and
- 40:50they
- 40:50have
- 40:50changed,
- 40:51but
- 40:51they
- 40:52have
- 40:52become
- 40:52more
- 40:53stagnant
- 40:53in
- 40:53recent
- 40:54years.
- 40:54But
- 40:54for
- 40:55a
- 40:55few
- 40:55things.
- 40:56Mainly
- 40:56the
- 40:56two
- 40:56point
- 40:57drop
- 40:57goal.
- 40:57In
- 40:57rugby
- 40:58league
- 40:58from
- 40:5840
- 40:58meters
- 40:59out
- 40:59and
- 40:59the
- 41:00two
- 41:00points
- 41:00over
- 41:01in
- 41:02Gaelic
- 41:02football
- 41:02also
- 41:03from
- 41:03the
- 41:03past
- 41:03few
- 41:03years.
- 41:04So
- 41:05just
- 41:06like
- 41:06we
- 41:06really
- 41:06haven't
- 41:06had
- 41:07much

- 41:10football
- 41:10regarding
- 41:11how

- 41:15than
- 41:16they
- 41:16love
- 41:16kicking
- 41:17a
- 41:17goal.
- 41:18And
- 41:19if
- 41:19I
- 41:19want

- 41:30going
- 41:30to
- 41:30kick

- 42:03how
- 42:03we
- 42:04draw
- 42:04our

- 42:06rolls
- 42:07is
- 42:07on
- 42:07an
- 42:07oval
- 42:07which

- 42:08for
- 42:08cricket,
- 42:09became
- 42:09more
- 42:09popular
- 42:10for
- 42:11financial
- 42:11reasons
- 42:13than
- 42:13cricket
- 42:14down
- 42:14here.
- 42:15And
- 42:16that
- 42:16proliferated
- 42:16the
- 42:17sport.
- 42:17It
- 42:17was
- 42:17originally
- 42:18on
- 42:18a
- 42:18rectangle,
- 42:18but
- 42:19they
- 42:19realized
- 42:19they
- 42:19didn't
- 42:20have
- 42:20enough
- 42:20rectangular
- 42:20fields,
- 42:21so
- 42:21they
- 42:21started
- 42:21playing
- 42:21on
- 42:21cricket
- 42:22fields.
- 42:22That's.
- 42:22That's
- 42:23the
- 42:23short
- 42:23version.
- 42:24Again,
- 42:24we
- 42:25changed
- 42:25shapes
- 42:26of
- 42:26football
- 42:26fields
- 42:26because
- 42:27they
- 42:27tried
- 42:27to
- 42:27make
- 42:27the
- 42:27game
- 42:27safer
- 42:28in
- 42:28America.
- 42:29They
- 42:29figured
- 42:29shrinking
- 42:30it
- 42:30from
- 42:30110
- 42:31to
- 42:31100,
- 42:31shrinking
- 42:32the
- 42:32width
- 42:32from
- 42:33about
- 42:3365
- 42:33to
- 42:3453
- 42:34would
- 42:35make
- 42:35it
- 42:35safer
- 42:35and
- 42:36we
- 42:36would
- 42:36have
- 42:36gone
- 42:36back
- 42:37to
- 42:37a
- 42:37bigger
- 42:37field.
- 42:38But
- 42:38Harvard
- 42:38already
- 42:39built
- 42:39their
- 42:39stadium.
- 42:41Well,
- 42:41they,
- 42:42they
- 42:42had
- 42:43built
- 42:43the
- 42:43stadium
- 42:43and
- 42:44they
- 42:44added
- 42:45the
- 42:45goal
- 42:46lines
- 42:46and
- 42:46the
- 42:46in
- 42:47the
- 42:47end
- 42:47zones
- 42:48wouldn't
- 42:49fit
- 42:49on
- 42:49110
- 42:49yard
- 42:50field.
- 42:50So.
- 42:51Yeah,
- 42:51so
- 42:52Canada
- 42:52actually
- 42:52has
- 42:53it
- 42:53right.
- 42:53That's
- 42:53the
- 42:53way
- 42:55American
- 42:55football
- 42:55started.
- 42:56It
- 42:56was
- 42:56110
- 42:57yard
- 42:57field
- 42:57everywhere.
- 42:58Absolutely.
- 42:59We.
- 42:59Again,
- 43:00these
- 43:00were
- 43:00experiments
- 43:01at
- 43:01a
- 43:01time
- 43:01where
- 43:01people
- 43:02died.
- 43:02It
- 43:02was
- 43:02serious.
- 43:03They
- 43:03had
- 43:03to
- 43:03find
- 43:03ways
- 43:04to
- 43:04protect
- 43:04players.
- 43:06It
- 43:06was
- 43:06known
- 43:06as
- 43:06murder
- 43:07ball.
- 43:07Essentially
- 43:08it's
- 43:10they.
- 43:11Just
- 43:11because
- 43:11you
- 43:12try
- 43:12to
- 43:12fix
- 43:12something
- 43:13that
- 43:13needs
- 43:13fixing
- 43:14doesn't
- 43:14mean
- 43:14you
- 43:14get
- 43:14it
- 43:14right.
- 43:15And
- 43:15sometimes
- 43:16when
- 43:16you
- 43:16realize
- 43:16you'd
- 43:16like
- 43:17to
- 43:17go
- 43:17back
- 43:17and
- 43:17change
- 43:17it,
- 43:18you
- 43:18can't
- 43:18because
- 43:18there's
- 43:19external
- 43:19factors
- 43:19a
