So? They did table it. I had not heard. Rooney was right....it really is too gimmicky.
Like the college OT rules....nothing but a gimmick.

Yep, but I loved A&M's record setting 7 OT win over LSU!?

Would you have loved it less if there was a legitimate OT system in place and they won?

I'd like the win but would have missed multiple spectacular plays that 7 OT produced by both sides.

meh. Those plays happen every week in college football in regulation time.

Nope. It was one play after another every single overtime. There were more spectacular plays in the overtimes than any 3 full college games combined.

Not impressed by games that take such gimmickry to the extreme. I am not saying that the kids didn't make great plays...even spectacular plays. But having to go to 7 OTs with this system is a farce.

I hate that 4th and 15 onside kick thing. If you're losing the game then you deserve to be losing the game! Don't penalize the team that has worked hard to get a lead.
Let's change the NBA to Make It - Take it then!

I kind of agree let's not get too cute with the rule changes unless they have to......proven data on health concerns, etc.
ALSO I hate multiple OT games I like the current NFL version and then let it end in a tie unless it is a playoff game.

Ya know what? I don't have a problem with games ending in a tie. Play 60 minutes...and end the game...so that 60 Minutes can come on on time.
Obviously, playoffs 'require' a winner and a loser....but IMO, the regular season does not.
edit: add: For the VAST majority of the last 20 years.....A TIE would've been a HUGE VICTORY for us.

OK, that made no sense whatsoever.

Lol....So, I say, for the regular season, no OT. - Play 60 minutes of football then we can all get the hell out of there.
And Woody says, We're going to clone him right into his suite so we can all get the hell out of here.

They can table that 4th & 15 rule every year in my traditional ? opinion.. or till they can find a replacement for Troy Vincent
...
I listened to Mr. V, try to explain the 'non-gimmick' of this rule yesterday.. of why any sports team, getting their butts handed to them all day should even earn a chance?
Vincent replied "The NFL is a 60 minute 'entertainment' business" Get Out! before we can build 20 point comeback Targets?
Edit--i get my fair share of rule changes just flipping on a browns game weekly..why risk anymore?

The refs have seemed to come up with new rules from time to time to keep the Browns from winning. Going back to the Bottle game.

The onside proposal made some sense, but it did seem a bit easy. Maybe 4th and 20-25 would have evened the odds. The other factor is the goofy refs. Throw a flag, automatic first down. You don't see many flags thrown on the team receiving the ball on a onside kick. They are usually on the kicking team, now the offensive team. Now the burden favors the kicking team even further. I am tired of refs changing games.

Not to me it didn't.
Does baseball give the losing team 4 or 5 outs because they're getting beat? Does basketball turn into Make It, Take It because a team is losing?
Why bother watching the whole game? Just tune in at the end when the 'silliness' that'll decide the game takes place.

You mean like not calling an obvious PI that kept N.O. out of the Superbowl?

Well, yes but no. That's a total screw up. I'm talking about purposely making rules to screw the team that's worked hard and done the right things all game long, just to give the losing team more chances to screw the opponent.
How 'bout we do this? The team captains walk out to the middle of the field, the ref tosses the coin, the home team calls it in the air, the winner of the toss is the winner of the game. Done. We can all get the hell out-a-here. (don't make me post Woody Allen again)

The Browns would find a way to lose 9 tosses.?
