> In some places, the earthquake extended the coastline by as much as 250 meters, or about 820 feet, according to a statement from the University of Tokyo. That's about the length of 2.2 American football fields.

Anything but metric.
Are talking about American American football fields, or Canadian American football fields? Or American arena football fields?
Considering the length of an American football field to be 109.73 metres (120 yards), and an average wingspan for the bald eagle to be 2 metres (approximately 6.7 feet), only 107 bald eagles would equate to the length of a single football field.
However, if you used an average longitudinal length of 86.5 cm for the American bald eagle, one football field would equate to approximately 127 bald eagles in length, and then you have a rounding error that has crept into your calculations.
I took the 250 metres (I know, I know ... a 'metre' is approximately 0.2 Ford Mustangs), and the wingspan of a bald eagle of 1.8 metres (1 Steven Spielberg).
Divide the two numbers and you get 138 bald eagles.
Rounding errors in unit translation may have occurred.
It is imperative that we steadfastly adhere to the rigorous standards of scientific exactitude in the process of undertaking the pertinent observations and calculations, lest we compromise the integrity of our findings and forfeit the esteemed reputation of our learned congregation.

But Spielberg’s height is 1.72m. Did you mean Taylor Swift, Brad Pitt, or Leonardo DiCaprio?
> Linguistically creative students at the University of Oxford in the 1880s distinguished between the sports of “rugger” (rugby football) and “assoccer” (association football). The latter term was further shortened to “soccer” (sometimes spelled “socker”), and the name quickly spread beyond the campus. However, “soccer” never became much more than a nickname in Great Britain. By the 20th century, rugby football was more commonly called rugby, while association football had earned the right to be known as just plain football.
> Meanwhile, in the United States, a sport emerged in the late 19th century that borrowed elements of both rugby and association football. Before long, it had proved more popular than either of them. In full, it was known as gridiron football, but most people never bothered with the first word. As a result, American association-football players increasingly adopted soccer to refer to their sport.

The lengths Americans go to avoid the metric system :)
