quote [ The sinkhole spans an area nearly three football fields long and is deep enough to hide the Washington Monument. Explorers descended into the pit, where they found ancient trees and other plant life. ]
I'm going down to the sinkhole

They’re exploring a primordial jungle, cut off from time? Have these fools learned nothing from Michael Crichton?!
Just don’t come crying to me when Yul Brynner starts chasing them around. |

Or Arthur Conan Doyle or Edgar Rice Burroughs.

I’ve never heard of Arthur Conan Doyle or Edgar Rice Burroughs inexorably stalking scientists through primordial jungle.
Except in that Neil Gaiman story, but apart from that. |

WTF is with Americans, and having to have every distance problem explained to them in "football fields?"

Most Americans know how long a football field is.

The reason for why they use the football field measurement is that most American's are unable to accurately judge 100 yards. However most of them are able to accurately judge the length of a football field which happens to be 100 yards. So, to our annoyance, they use something in which they can easily relate to in order to express the measurement.
