~681 American footballs. At 27 balls per team per NFL game, an average of 17.8 games per team per season, and an annual salary cap of $301 million, those many balls are equivalent to a salary of $481 million. So by weight, footballs are "worth" 12 times the price of gold.

Joe Burrow weighs 215 lbs and makes $55 million per year. That makes him worth his weight in gold x4.

I'm still researching the average weight of a football field. Depends if it has rained recently.

What's their beef with the metric system? :)
