Stupid Rules In Sports

Ties in soccer.

They're far more forgivable than ties in the NFL.

If the NFL weren't so violent and injuries so prevalent, I'd agree.

I doubt it would add to injuries in a real significant way.

The networks don't want games bleeding into the late games by going into 3 overtimes.

They already unnecessarily bleed into the late games with regular overtimes. As a fan of a team in the Western US of which the NFL forbids from playing at home in the early slot for no good reason, I know this all too well. CBS and Fox should just use CBSSN and FS1 to handle the overlap, like ESPN does in other leagues, or space out the games more.

I honestly cant remember the last time I saw an NFL game that didnt go over the time it was slotted for.

touchdowns.

Everybody knows that even if you run right through, you still get the 6 points.

But there's a difference between 5-10 minutes and an hour.

The games that are supposed to end at 7 almost never end before 7:30 and usually run til around 8.

The average NFL game last year lasted 3 hours and 10 minutes.

The average really shouldn't matter. Missing even one play of the late game is inexcusable in my eyes.

Yup, I have to tell my DVR to record 60 Minutes for 120 minutes just to make sure I get it,

Yeah that is annoying. But that is more due to the Networks dragging it out than sports rules.

Heh.

A second football game isn't Heidi, and there's also far more channels now than there back then.

Well, instant replaying every godamned play doesn't help.

I see what you're saying but I like seeing them since it's hard to watch 22 players Commercials

I meant the official replays by referees, it was ok when they were only the 3 challenges but now they play a ridiculous amount of plays. There's no need to review obvious touchdowns.

I hate extra points. I think teams should always have to go for 2.

You must have loved the Lions/Eagles game from last season, then.

I think I'd be down with teams automatically getting 7 points on a TD but then they could "gamble" a point if they want that's essentially the same as going for two.

Lions fan here. I'm a masochist I guess.

I dig your idea too.

Whoops, sorry to bring up a loss. I figured Nebraska would be split between the Vikings and Chiefs, like Boise is with the Broncos and Seahawks. Of course I get unlucky on 32:1 odds.
