tracker7Happy New Year, everyone! Best wishes to you all for a terrific 2007.
Gotta bitch about the NFL here for a minute. Sudden-death overtime remains a tool of the Devil. Even when a team I love wins with it, I hate it. Hate it hate it hate it. Yesterday, the Bengals would have gotten into the NFL playoffs with a win over the Steelers, as the Chiefs won and Denver lost. Cincy blew some plays towards the end of the game, and what would have been a game-winning field goal went right. So, overtime. And with the sudden-death rule, all that matters is getting close enough for a field goal. No chance for the other team to score. Cut the horseshit, NFL. If playing a full 15 minutes is out of the question, then at the very least allow both teams possession of the ball. MLB gives full innings, NHL has full OT periods, and even those pukes over in the NBA give both teams a chance to win. Only the NFL, my favorite pro league, has a half-assed overtime rule. It's time for that to go away.
Go Chargers! Go Saints!
