since we compare sniping to football...and since they tossed a Morgan in the Jets game...and since ANA wrote that the toss is not 50/50 probability as we were taught as a kid....I thought I would share...enjoy
In the NFL, there are two teams and 60 minutes to decide the winner. Playing to win is what the NFL is. The players, the coaches and teams struggle, fight and play to win. From the offseason to the preseason to the regular season, the win-loss column is what the NFL is about.
The clock counts down to end the game, 3...2...1... One team is victorious and the other team is defeated. The game is over. Suppose the score is tied? Will the teams play one more full quarter to decide the winner? Will the teams play an extra session similar to that of college football and give both teams opportunities to score on offense? Will the game be declared officially a tie? No, No and No. How is America's most dominant and watched game going to be decided? The game will be decided by coin-toss.
A straightforward concept, if the coin lands on the side you called, you win. If not, you lose. The overtime session is sudden death. A team wins the coin-toss. They pick to receive the ball first. They score first, they win. A coin-toss is also used to start the game and to decide who will receive the ball first at the start of each of the halves. After all the excitement, fast action and hard nose football for 60 minutes, the game of football is going to let the flipping of a coin end the game. Does the flipping of a coin promote the game of professional football? Football fans across the country should hope not.
In terms of yardage, the overtime session begins with a kickoff that is returned to at least the opposing team's own twenty yard line. All the opposing team has to do is take the football and go forty yards to be in field goal range. A few run plays, a few pass plays and move the ball some yards and the game over. The flip of the coin-toss controversy renews itself.
The NFL should go to that of the college football format with each team having an opportunity to win or lose the game. With this method of overtime, figures such as 80 percent of teams who win the coin toss and then go on to win game the would be dropped. The NFL overtime games need to have a little fairness in them. Let the teams go at each other, let them show what they are made of and let the better team win that day. Let the pressure, exhilaration and passion for football take over the game; not a circular piece of copper with two sides to it.
