One second to go

By Tangotiger, 11:43 AM

This is what happens when you put the statisticians, with their noses in spreadsheets and stopwatches, in charge of sports.  If chess and boxing have a more intelligent approach to ending a game with time still left on the clock, why can’t the NFL follow suit?  The two coaches shake hands, and the game is over.  Is that so hard?  The rule may say that you have to play with time still left on the clock, but it also says that you can only have the 22 players and referees on the field.  You can’t do one without the other.

It was a decent first 3 quarters, and pretty good fourth quarter.
