[edit] History?
Does anyone have information on the history of the two minute warning? My understanding is that it had to do with timekeeping issues in the early days of the NFL. Scoreboard clocks were not official (nor were they very accurate). Official time was kept by stopwatch. The officials informed each side at two minutes to avoid any surprises at the final gun. Does anyone have the facts?
