As we watched football tonight, I had mentioned how it doesn't look like the football players are that fast since everyone on the field is fast. Imagine I was playing in the Miami - Florida state game, and I managed to somehow get the ball and was 15 yards in front of any defender ... How far could I run before I got tackled... How far could matt run?
So today the family gathered in the street in front of our house to time our '40's'. Here's the outcome...
With my lightning fast 7.95 seconds for my 40 yds, and if my math is right (which was a bit tricky for this tired brain... might I add), and with the defender having a pretty fast 4.5 '40', I would get 20.95 yards before getting taken out. If Matt Reisetter has a good point... it may get stretched to 25 yds as I plant my face into the ground another four feet after I get leveled. I'll go with that... 25 yds... not bad. I'll take it.
Matt: With his impressive 5.8 '40' (with snow boots trudging through the street), and the same defender, he would reach an impressive 38 yards. I'm sure he would claim touchdown. Pretty impressive.
Madison: In her pink cowboy boots and fur hood, she would get 15 1/2 yds before getting taken down.
Chief: He would reach 188 yds before the end of his impressive run.
Eliott opted to stay inside and watch from the front window.
