I did not watch the game Thursday night, but saw this picture on NFL.com:

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);">Jim Nantz calmly explained we'll now know exactly how far a field-goal would have traveled if it didn't collide with the screen behind the uprights.

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);"> 

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);">Huh? The attempt was blocked. And everyone who watched the game knew it was 58 yards. What was CBS trying to show us that we did not already know?

1)  Jim Nantz is an idiot.  If he actually tried to do the math himself, his head would implode.

 

2)  There are two calculations to consider: (discounting air friction, wind resistance, etc.)

 

a) How deep into the stands the ball would have carried.       

 

b)  How far would the ball had gone, were there no stands and the landing point was in the same horizontal plane as the spot of the kick.

 

                                                                                                

 

 3)  Don't you ever sleep?

Don't you realize there were more than one field goals (and attempts) in the game? You really need to pay attention and think things through.

 

And I'll take Jim Nance over Sneakers any day. If Sneakers tried to call a game his tongue would explode.

Incase Adam didn't make it clear, the field goal pictured was not the field goal that was blocked.
