The most recent example of "unfairness" under the old OT system was the NFC Championship game, in which the Vikings lost the OT coin toss, New Orleans drove to the game-winning field goal, and the Vikings never got a chance on offense in the OT.

So who was one of the four teams to vote against the change? The Vikings.

*smack* *smack* "Hello? Anybody home? THINK, McFly!"

I'm glad this passed, but as for now it only applies to postseason.

So, let's be sure to make the playoffs in order to test the new rule out firsthand!

I'm shocked at all the media coverage the new OT rule is getting. It's for playoffs only (as of now)and I know this year we had 2 overtime playoff games, but in general there aren't alot. It's a rule you might not see go into effect for a few years if that.

I know in May they will talk about changing the rule for the regular season. I don't think that vote will pass. But my god, what happened yesterday is such a minor thing that the media is blowing way out of porportion
