During the regular season even sudden death results in a tie if no one scores. Doesn't happen often, but it would mean at most one extra quarter. In the playoffs they would just need to suck it up - it's the playoffs.

In that case I see VERY conservative OT periods, with a high likelihood of ending with no scoring, teams preferring to play field position and avoid losing rather than play for the win.

I sill like the NCAA solution.

For the regular season I'm mostly ok with the current system. No, it isn't great but it doesn't matter all that much either.

For the post season I would not relish the idea of coming off a 7-quarter victory to face the Colts after they've enjoyed their opening round bye. As a viewer I'd be ok with it if that were the way it got set up but I can understand why players and coaches would be strongly opposed.

While we're fixing football, I say it's time to get rid of timeouts. With everybody miked up, there should be nothing to talk about. I shouldn't have to watch an extra five minutes of mancave commercials because the quarterback couldn't get the snap off or didn't like the defensive formation. If you don't like the defensive formation, deal with it or take a delay of game to talk about it.

As for the two minute drill, it might become the four minute drill, but that would be okay. If you aren't ahead by the end of the game, you don't deserve to have things made easier.

Same thing for basketball. If the other team is running you ragged, tough. There are no timeouts in boxing. It goes without saying that the last two minutes of most basketball games are virtually unwatchable.

I know it wouldn't fly, but how about making the football sudden death say that a touchdown must be scored to win the game?

And while we are fixing sports, let's make golf a full-contact sport!

The newly announced change is close to that. You can only win on the first possession of overtime if you score a touchdown. If you kick a fieldgoal the other team gets a shot and a field goal will continue overtime, a touchdown wins it, and a failure to score ends it.

GET IN THE HOLE!!
