[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 788159, member: 5830"] Then again, most hockey fans abhor the shootout as a gimmick. Fans may hate overtime, as do I, but I think that the owners/league and network probably stand to lose money if they do away with ties. It's no guarantee, but likely if you get rid of ties that means longer games when they go into overtime. That means that owners have to pay all of their hourly workers more. NFL is one of the few sports that stacks its games back-to-back. The longer a game goes trying to decide a tie, the longer the network can't show the next game. I'm sure that if I sat around long enough, drinking enough beer, I could come up with a list of reasons that the NFL doesn't want to get rid of ties - or more specifically, wants games to end in a pre-determined length of time.
