And as far as Joey Eagles competent defense quote before, it wasn't the Giants D that lost them that game today.,

I didn't say it was.. It's just that the Eagles are playing the best defense in the league now, including the Ravens.

Don't change a thing. If you can't get it done in 60 mins. then too bad if you lose in OT. It's the shills like Jim Nance who are pushing for this. TV has already pretty much ruined sports, don't let them ruin it more. KP

altho i don't care for all the commercial breaks, i still think football is better viewed on t.v. than live-replay and camera angles, etc, so you never miss a thing...

now hockey on the other hand....best viewed live.

instead of the coin toss, how about a little rugby style scrum to see who gets the ball

Do you remeber how the XFL decided who gets the ball?

herkhorse · #6 01-12-2009, 08:17 AM

no, but I know it was something better than a coin toss

In addition to these rules changes, the XFL also announced that no game will end in a tie due to its "can you top this" overtime. Each team will get four downs to score from the opponent's 20 yard line. However, if team A scores a touchdown in less that four downs, team B only gets that many downs to respond.

Flip a coin for kick-off/goal to defend, if Team A scores in first possesion, they kick off and Team B has same chance A does. If A doesn't score, or B scores with their possesion, then it becomes sudden death
