Football - American
American football is much different than what many parts of the world call football. American football is a full contact sport. It involves two teams competing to carry the ball from one end of the field to another to score. Progress is marked by yard lines. It involves kicking, passing, tackling, as well as other physical and mental skills.

What is the world record for 100 yard dash?
Asked by Wiki User
June 21, 1963
Bob Hayes, a sturdy running back/sprinter from Florida A&M, runs 9.1 seconds in the 100-yard dash not once but twice at the AAU national track and field championships in St. Louis.
However, only Hayes' performance in the semifinals is allowed to stand as a world record. That's because the wind was 7.75 miles per hour in the final, above the allowable 4.473 mph for record consideration.
Running with his elbows out and his knees uncommonly high, the thick-shouldered, thick-muscled Hayes bolts into the lead at the start of the semifinal. The 20-year-old senior-to-be turns it up another gear in the middle 50 yards and breaks the world record of 9.2 seconds set by America's Frank Budd in 1961 and tied by Canada's Harry Jerome (twice) in 1962.
The 5-foot-11, 185-pound Hayes wins the AAU final for the second straight year. He will go on to win the gold medal in the 100-meter dash at the 1964 Olympics and then become a Pro Bowl wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys.
9.2 seconds - the official world record for the 100 yard dash is held by Frank Budd from New Jersey. Budd ran track for Villanova University in Philadelphia. In 1960, he represented Team USA at the Olympic Games in Rome, Italy. He placed 5th in the 100 meter sprint, and his relay team made it to the finals in the 4 x 100 meter relay. In 1962, he broke the world record at the AAU Meet with a finish time of 9.2 seconds. He then went on to play wide receiver in the NFL for the Philadelphia Eagles. Several people have run the 100 yard dash in 9.1 seconds and 9.0 seconds, but these achievements have not displaced Frank Budd from his status as the official record holder because they were not timed electronically. The regulations of the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) state that runs are only legal if achieved with the use of fully automatic timing, a wind speed below 2.0 m/s, and without the use of performance enhancing substances. The 100 yard dash is no longer an event in international competition. It is rarely an event in American competitions. It has been replaced by the 100 meter sprint, a slightly longer race. The world record for the 100 meter sprint is 9.58 seconds. It is held by Usain Bolt from Jamaica. He set this record on August 16, 2009 at the 12th IAAF World Championships in Athletics in Berlin. Among women, the world record for the 100 meter sprint is 10.49 seconds. It is held by Florence Griffith-Joyner from the United States. She set the record on July 16, 1988 in Indianapolis. Her record is likely to stand for a VERY long time. It is fully 0.15 of second faster than the second fastest time ever run by a woman. By comparison, less than 0.08 second separate the times of the other 7 women to have run the 100 meter sprint in less than 11 seconds. Joyner's win was probably assisted by a tail wind. The sensor measuring wind that day was not functioning properly. Many suspect that her win was also assisted by performance enhancing drugs (steroids), but there was never any proof, so her record stands.

How many long is a football field?
Asked by Wiki User
I was hoping to have someone answer this question for my state report I'm doing on Rhode Island...THANKS!!
Sorry, Oh So Sorry, Please accept our apologies. The reason your question was not given the attention it so richly deserved is that some Idiot failed to follow the proper protocol and exactly five minutes later filled in the answer with the statement found in the above first paragraph. The computer, not being an Idiotcomplied with instructions that were programmed into it and instantly switched it from an unanswered question to a question that had been Asked and Answered.
Eight months later someone doing routine clean up noted this failure to rapidly respond to your urgent needs and we extend deep apologies if your State Report failed to receive the high credits you had anticipated. Your correct Answer is:
Answer:
Given:
- The Length of an American Football field is 100 yards. The End Zone is 10 yards deep with an additional 10 yards of depth free of obstructions called the "Run out Zone" which is provided to avoid player injury. Thus an American football field can be said to 140 yards. (Playing Field of 100 yards plus two End Zones of 10 yards each for 120 yards, Plus a Run Free Zone on each end of the field of 10 yards for an arena length without End Zone Bleachers of 140 yards. For illustration purposes only, the field is the designated playing field of 100 yards and will be designated as (F) in any fornula.
- One mile (Designated (M) is equal to 1,760 yards.
- One Playing Field is equal to M divided by (F) or 17.5 or more simply stated 17.5 playing fields equal one mile.
- Rhode Island is 37 miles wide (called W} and 48 miles long (called L).
- Long assumes the greatest distance as a ratio between length and width.
Seeking:
F in L which is precisely about or close to or somewhere near ..... (Insert Drum Roll Audio Feature) ..... 844.8 Football Fields Long and 651.2 Football Fields Wide.

Nope, in most cases, if you bet on a team to win and the game ends in a tie, it's considered a push, and you usually get your initial wager back, but no winnings. It's like the universe saying, "Eh, let's call it a draw."

If the defense blocks a field goal attempt and is able to pick up the ball and return it to the end zone it is a touchdown. It would be considered the same as if they picked up a fumble and returned it for a touchdown. Therefore it is worth 6 points.
