No, I'm saying it's not impossible or even really that difficult. Outfitting the footballs is probably the worst part. After that it's just a matter of the same overlay they'd use for a 1st down line and the ref being able to hit the pause button.

The refs make that call all the time, often times correctly, occasionally wrong. That's not going to change until we get the RoboRef 4000.

If the ref has to go to the monitor anyway then there doesnt seem to be much value.
No, there probably isn't (even assuming it doesn't malfunction, which it will)
