    This NFL thing you speak of ... it must either dwell in the desert or is constantly running a high fever.  It seems to always be surrounded by fans.

    As I explained on your other question. I thought the automatic first down came from the distance the penalty causing the ball to moved passed the 10yd marker.

    I did learn this is not the case. Even though normally the penalty yardage does make it past the 10yd mark.
