From 2005:
The fuck? "We won the coin toss, we will now just get to the 25 or so and kick" isn't real competition. How can an overtime be fair if the other team's offense doesn't get to even take the field?
A couple years ago when people were bitching about that "problem" in the NFL, statistics were brought out that showed it was about 50-50 in terms of whether the first team on offense scores right away or whether the other team gets a chance, so the "only one team gets a chance" argument is bullshit.
Essentially, if you lose the toss, don't give up the deep ball
Or, even better, you could win the toss and then kick with the wind...
I still stand by this. Each system works for their respective level.
