Basically a variation of my laser post. What's bizzare is that tennis has this conquered with results in less than 10 seconds with the little ball and line computer thing but the NFL billion dollar machine can't get replay right to the satisfaction of any.

Again, football much more complicated....in tennis the only question is whether the ball hits the line, in football you have possession and down by contact issues.

How will the laser see through bodies etc... It works in tennis because there is nothing blocking the view. In football thare are torsos, arms, legs. other players etc....I think there are issues not covered by a laser.

all i know is if the Steelers long snapper was not hurt the ball would never have sailed over Berger's head----maybe in two weeks General Tom could divise something to take the place of a route that the G-Men have practiced all season long
