Crazy yellow lines

[L_S]

How the HELL do they put those first down yellow lines on the field when you're watching football. The tricky thing is that it doesnt overlap the players.

they have a kinda signal transmitter down on the field which is on the guy holding the chains for the first down or some one else who is standing right at the first down marker. this singal gets picked up when its turned on and thats what we see on the screen.

You really think it's made with a computertrick??? /~unreal/ubb/html/wink.gif

You stupid little fools, when they know exactly where the next firstdown is reached they ran over with that very long yellow stripe and lay it down on the field.

Made with computertricks, I don't believe it how stupid YOU are. /~unreal/ubb/html/smile.gif /~unreal/ubb/html/smile.gif /~unreal/ubb/html/smile.gif

No, it is actually a video play back trick. What you see on TV during a football game is actually about 5 minutes different than being there live! They actually record the live game on to video tape, then some guys in the communication van go frame by frame with a yellow highlighter and mark the first down. Then that is played and you see it on the TV. Wow!

That's all I have to say about that!

You're all wrong, some guy with yellow spray paint comes in and paints the first-down marker line thing then runs off really fast so you don't even see that he did it, you know how it just pops up right there sometimes. anyway, after a game or 2 the whole field is yellow and they take some guy out with GREEN spray paint and he paints over the yellow spray paint which was put down by the earlier guy which gets covered over by this guy with the green paint. this is a very expensive thing to do which is why hot dogs caost $5.00 and the memorabilia about $60.00. so there, now you know and knowing is half the battle (G.I.
