New OT idea to get rid of ties

[Batman]

We should keep it the same but should remove the coin toss. We can put in a XFL style scramble.

a game of rock, paper, scissors between the head coaches

I'd rather not. If we meet in a Superbowl overtime game, The Giants HC will probably cheat

Why do people freak out about ties? If teams tie, they tie. So what?

I'd rather see a 106-man 100 yard Tug-Of-War at mid-field. At least that way it involves the whole team.

If there's no movement after 10 minutes then the coaches can start throwing footballs at the opposing teams players from the sidelines.

or if you would rather, hoops/rings are setup, roughly 30 yards from mid field.. both teams QBs begin a "shootout" of throwing to the ring. Same basic rules and premise as the FG shoot out.

How about a dunk tank with Fraudger or one of his lapdogs. The only decision would be what to put in the tank. I'm thinking the contents of a port a potty after heavy use.

Wear turtlenecks.

Or move to Iran. If they don't get rid of the ties, they get rid of you..............

This idea was posted to Drew Magary's mailbag column on Deadspin this week...you could at least give him a little credit. Unless you were the one who sent it to him, in which case, well done.

I made it up myself. Never heard of him. I'm sure we are not the only two who have thought of this especially considering how hockey has this basically.

Great White Shark tank.

"Exciting" things that happen all the time become boring. Like shoot-outs in hockey...yawn.

Maybe you only do it if still tied after the 5th quarter

 

[Wax Frog]

Have both teams line up on the field facing each other. Whichever does the better Riverdance impression wins.

My bad, I assumed you got it from him since I had never seen anyone propose it before and then read about it twice in two days!
