[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 725172, member: 10441"] i know one mans better is not everyone's. BUt bringing this all the way back, my statements were all regarded to this original article that compared baseball and basketball of all things, to football, which is absolutely laughable. and then massages some stats and conveniently leaves out the details to try and lead a reader to his desired outcome, which is junk journalism IMO. Give me info, i can find my own way thank you very much. and then put forth college OT rules as his solution. Like that negates the advantage of the coin flip that he asserts determines the winner 100% of the time, when in reality it's just over 50. and he never considers the advantage a team has in going on offense 2nd, which is also, just over 50%. So while the perception between 1 person and the next might make one "better", it's really changed nothing in terms of reality or advantage. It's just different. That's my point. Half of what makes football entertaining for me is overcoming adversity, make OT unfair, line up and earn it. I don't think shortening it to 10 minutes is doing anything really either. but this is part of why I wish they'd just drop it. Set the rules and let the talking heads talk about stuff all day long, but just leave it. I think OT is fine right now. I thought it was fine with sudden death. It could be fine with college OT. They all have pro's and con's, but just decide the freaking rules and play by them already. It's not going to be "fair". One team is on defense, one is on offense, the game has to end somehow. One team will have the ball more. One will have it with more favorable conditions. one will have to deal with a bad bounce or 2 or 3. [/QUOTE]
