WTF, if I wanted soccer I'd go watch soccer.  I want American football.  Bring back complete sudden death.  I don't care.  It will change strategies, it won't make it more fair.  Give everyone a possession.  It won't make it more fair, it will just change strategies.  and there aren't going to be stats that prove there are more injuries in OT than regular games.  That's not even at issue.  What is at issue is how much beating can these guys take week after week.  There isn't a AT, PT, Chiro, Ortho, etc on earth that won't tell you that player fatigue absolutely increases the chance for injury and the more you play a physical game the more those chances go up.  Not only for that 15 minutes, but for for a long time after.  There will be no leveling.  There can't be.  Someone always will be on offense first.  Someone will always be on defense first.  Someone will always have the ball last.  SOmeone will always be against the wind.  Someone will always have the wind at their back. someone will have the ball for 1 more or 1 less possession or Someone will always know if they need to go for it on 4th down or they won't have to go for it.  They'll know if they can kick, punt or go for broke.  No matter what situation they create by changing strategies, they will always create a situation where it's going to favor one team over the other.  Once you accept that, you'll realize that changing rules just to change rules is kind of pointless.  determine a winner and go home. Or don't.  Let them tie and in the playoffs, it's win or go home.  Bring back sudden death.  Maybe defenses don't sit back and play it so safe in OT and instead keep attacking.  Didn't make anything better, just different and the winner is determined.</blockquote>
