[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 955527, member: 7261"] LOL...so your fear of that happening, is what motivates your stance on don't change a thing? You don't trust the process or believe the owners will do the right thing? How do you feel about the 4th Q. when one team has the ball more than the other team? I have never heard a complaint about that. Nor do I expect a rationale football fan to complain when a team scores on the 3rd possession of OT. In that situation, the team that lost the flip but scored a TD on the second possession, could have gone for 2 and if they make it, they win and there is not 3rd possession. Just like in Baseball, the home team doesn't lose when the visiting team scores a run in the 10th inning, they have a chance to tie it up or win. Hockey...they play sudden death and during that time, everyone has a fair shot at getting the puck and to try and score. If there is a shootout. It isn't first team to score, its the team that scores the most out of 5 shots. NBA....play 5 minutes and see who scores the most, after many opportunities. I would say baseball is about as close as you can get to simulate how scoring takes place and how frequent, when comparing the fairness of OT. If the home team has great pitching and good defense, they should be able to stop the visiting team from scoring in the 10th. However, if they only have a great offense, and they give up a run, is it fair to say "sorry, should have stopped them with your pitching and defense, you lose." [/QUOTE]
