Perfect - Microchips in Footballs! First Down!

Finally - discussions went public regarding microchips in the NFL to determine things like First Downs and Touchdowns. This is a little off the cuff regarding technology, I know, but it is also an exciting time, since football season is ramping up here in the states.

It would be nice along with the current replay system to make the right call as much as possible. If that ball extends over the goal line, heck, make the pylons light up and have sirens like they do in hockey...

Speaking of, wouldn't that be next? That little puck flying around, would make icing calls, goals and probably some other things easier to determine too.

Next, Basketball. Instead of allowing instant replay on virtually any out of bounds play under 2 minutes of the halves, make the ball change colors to the team's colors that last touched it, then blink repeatedly and have the lines flash in that color when it was off on them. Also you could make the ball simulate "he's on fire!" if a guy gets hot.

Finally baseball. Sorry, can't change that sport. It's like the wild west where cheating, mistakes and blown calls rule. Good for that sport.

One last thing - when these balls or whatever come to the end of their life expectancy - do they then become eWaste?

Maybe we'll reuse them on our upcoming RETHINGS.COM site, or we'll sell them in our REMACHINES.COM store.
