holy cow

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Did you know it takes 3,000 cows to supply the NFL with enough leather for a year's supply of footballs.

As long as the same cows end up being eaten by humans then it's not such a bad thing.

Wow, that's a lot of cows...

There is no independent confirmation from Wilson, who makes NFL footballs, that anybody counts the cows used.



If you can find it... post it. Please.

As long as the rest of them are being used properly, it doesn't bug me.
