I think the only division out of whack is the NFC north, with Minny leading and GB and Lions below .500.Who would have thought the standings would be thusly after week 5? http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/standings
You don't watch much football, do you?Whats with all the pink in tonights game?
Looks like a lingerie league game.
For the same reason there is 90 feet between bases and a basketball net is 9 feet high.Does anybody know why the NFL field is so small? The end zones are only 10 yards wide.
So, what is the length of the end zone? I heard that it is 10 yards but it looks like a sandbox when crammed with 6'3" 220lbs. humans.Actually, the end zone is 53.3333 yards wide.

As far as I know most, if not all, sports playing areas have maintained their original dimensions. Hockey, baseball, soccer, tennis along with basketball and football in spite of the fact that all the athletes are bigger, faster, stronger etc.BTW: I did ask the q as uestion about the size of a basketball court a while back and, apparently, it is the same size now as it was 22,000 years ago when human males were only 4'6" tall.
I think in baseball they moved the fences in closer to home plate. However, the pitcher's mound is still 60'6" from home plate despite the fact that almost all pitchers are now over 6' tall and some are 6'8".As far as I know most, if not all, sports playing areas have maintained their original dimensions.

I actually like the Canadian game with the wider and longer field.Where would you rather watch a game, in a stadium where the playing field is 160 yds long or one that is 120 yds in length?
Huh?For the same reason a basketball net is 9 feet high.
