NFL may track footballs using magnetic fields

"he system involves equipping the football with a battery, magnetic transmitter, and loop antenna. Even with that extra gear on board, the ball still falls within the accepted weight range for use in National Football League games in the US."

Gives Rog haters like myself ammo. I could imagine Rog with a "radio controlled joystick" steering the football wide on a game winning field goal attempt. 8)

Awesome, I would really like to see the NFL use something like this. I love to see the Major sports using more technology to make games more fair.

Next up is to get MLB to make the umpires use the K-zone to help them call balls in strikes during baseball games!

Im suprised it took this long to even have the conversation. It seems like this would solve so much controversy. Especially on close TD's where replay is obviously blocked.

Doubt it will be implemented until a golden horse team loses by a controversial call in the playoffs.

Now QB's will have something to blame their wobbly passes on.
