OMG - I might be able to answer something. I think (ergo sum Lil) that the square boxing ring is called a ring because the original outdoor bouts were ringed by the spectators - a bit like that Clint Eastwood film where he was a bare knuckle fighter.

TB - I hope you can sleep easier now.

But then why is a touch down called a touch down when you don't actually have to touch the ball down? Shit - insomnia calls!
