Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pokerbrat2000" data-source="post: 725065" data-attributes="member: 7261">I agree with you on the fundamentals of most sports being different, but in games that are decided by points, a fair tie breaker is usually what is used to send one team/player home the winner in most sports.  I believe the system that both Baseball and Basketball use is fair, doesn't matter how they play the sport. Besides NFL Football, I can't think of one sport (points determine winner) that allows the winner to be potentially determined by one team/player having the ability to end it with one possession.  Unless you include Hockey and say a team could win the faceoff, skate down and score, game over. Also falling back on "you can't make NFL players play longer, because they may get injured" as an argument not to extend a game, doesn't ring well with me.  I would love to see injury stats to support that argument.  I would also love to know about the conversations that NFL owners and TV Networks have had about this, because I think their rationale for the current system isn't about fairness, more than it is about the bottom line of profits.As long as the NFL keeps making strides in changing the OT system to something that levels the playing field for both teams, I will be happy, but it also tells me they know it isn't level under the current system.  The shortening of OT from 15 to 10 minutes this year, did nothing to change what was wrong.  Maybe next year.</blockquote>
