Watching the Superbowl

It's quite remarkable. How do those quarterbacks release a football way down the field? And not only do they let it fly, but it usually falls into the hands of a receiver. It's not the usual but several quarterbacks have thrown passes over 80 yards.

Then there's a question of how far, outside of a game, has a football been thrown? But then again why would anyone measure that distance.

How far does a discus fly? First ,you need to have a proper grip--" when releasing the discus have your palm down. Squeeze the discus out..." I'm lost. Can you believe that someone "squeezed the discus out" for over 245 feet?

I wonder how far I've ever thrown anything?
