No More Ties

[purguy12]

Just play rock, paper, scissors to decide the winner.

nah that just like the coin flip that Wilson said. Pass next idea.

Its pointless ask any athlete. U play to win the game and you work hard to win the game. that is why there are no ties in NHL or in important soccer matches or cups. No ties in Golf, no ties in MLB, NBA. Its pointless. Should be a winner in every game.

Wrong. There was a tie this year in MLB. It happened in September. Pirates v. Cubs game ended in a tie.

That was due to weather not because of the game. last one was 2005.

Per MLB.com's Adam Berry, the tie game will not be reflected in the standings for the Cubs and Pirates, and it won't be completed before the regular season ends since it holds no bearing on standings for the playoffs or draft.

meaning they would of continued the game if it needed to be played.

Doesn't matter, a tie is a tie. It happened. And happened in 2005 too. Sounds like ties happen in MLB about as often as they do in the NFL.

There wouldn't have been a tie if someone made a damn field goal... Football is a rough sport, especially the NFL. How long do you really want those players to play? As long as they have a way to account for ties within their own divisional standings to determine playoff positions, then the NFL ties are fine.

Ties are pointless. They play to win the game not Tie. Get rid of it. Time to catch up to the other sports.

You can't win it in 75 minutes, you don't deserve the win.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Huh? So you want to settle the outcome based on a gimmick?

For the record I am 100% OK with ties.

As for gimmicks, with hockey I have never watched a shootout on TV once. I was forced to watch one at a live game but not by choice.

hell no keep going.

hell no keep going.

I will say (again even though I don't care about baseball) they play the game till it's over. Even if they fire up the next day with a 2nd baseman pitching. They don't fire up a home run derby.

They don't have putting contests to decide the Masters.

But to impose playing to a decision on football is harsh given the physical nature of the game.

And hockey that bastardizes it's finishes in the regular season at least for now anyways, lets them play all night long to decide it in the playoffs.

Hockey and soccer do it. Again I was just adding to Wilson Idea. I rather be fair and let both teams battle it out then a coin flip and 1 team kicker kicking it.

Overall i would want them to just keep going like they do in the NBA and MLB.

nothing wrong with how CFB handles OT

just my opinion

I hate college football overtime with the fire of a thousand burning suns.

NFL needs to change this. I know it only happens every once in awhile but all major sports dont have ties anymore. Recently R. Wilson said

I got a better idea there Russel, why don't you score more points....Then you wont have to rely on a "tie"

 

[MilkSpiller22]

my favorite idea that I heard is:

Home team gets ball first ALL the time, back to first score(even FG) wins...


What this does: it makes the end of regulation time more interesting...

 

[SonnyCID]

Hate to sound like an old fogey, but the worst part about the younger generations is how they complain about needing to fix EVERYHING, even when it's not a problem. In their opinions, if it's not abolutely 100% perfect, then it's broken. I enjoy sports because they're not perfect, and when they are, it's special.

Not a fan of home team gets the ball every time. I honestly really do like the rules right now. Gives both teams more of a chance to win the game and really puts pressure on the first team to try and actually score a touchdown instead of just march into field goal range and then kick it. Too easy with today's NFL rules.

I like the way it is now too... not asking for a change... Just stating my favorite idea I heard...

Well, there is truth to that though... If everything evolves, then why cant rules evolve too... Problem they face is creating the wrong rules that instead of making the game better it makes it worse, the NFL has gotten some rule changes wrong....

I'm ok with ties. if you just go for win/loss. Some games might go for over a day.

As for shootouts: I find it like Sex. It may seem exciting but in the end. Someone get's fucked and it is usually the viewers
