Nfl Tickets – League Officially Adopts New Overtime Rule
Regardless of the supporters for the sudden-death overtime, the NFL has moved forward and made a significant change to its overtime policy, though it will only take effect come playoff time. Amidst clamoring that the sudden-death overtime based on a coin toss was unfair, NFL owners voted in a landslide victory to update the policy, which again proves that the NFL is far and away the most efficient league around and is willing to update its rules and regulations to fit an ever-evolving professional sports landscape.
Instead of the usual sudden-death overtime, if the first team with the ball kicks a field goal, the second team will still have a chance to match the score. If the second team matches the score, then they will move on to a sudden-death overtime. However, if the second team scores a touchdown, then the game will be over, which is somewhat similar to the way that the college overtime is handled right now. A touchdown on any possession will end the game.
How the rule change will actually affect the 2010 season will not be known, as we may not even have an overtime game in the postseason next year, but the NFL has announced loud and clear that it is willing to listen to fans. After Brett Favre and his Minnesota Vikings remained on the sidelines as the New Orleans Saints marched down the field in overtime of last season's NFC Championship game, fans immediately began complaining that the sudden-death overtime rule was not fair for the team that did not win the toss.
Even though statistically the sudden-death overtime proved to be mostly fair, fans used to seeing college football overtimes simply could not accept having one offense sit out the extra time period when something could be done to rectify the situation. <a href="http://www.stubhub.com/nfl-tickets/">NFL tickets</a> are already a hot commodity all year long, though the rule change could help them even further come playoff time.
But the NFL was wise not to give in too much to the demands of fans, who would likely enjoy seeing a college overtime for both the regular season and playoffs. Though the college overtime certainly is exciting, it also doesn't much resemble the actual game of football, which is why it has as many critics as it has backers. In the college OT, the clock stops and the game proceeds possession by possession. While football is typically played with a clock and starts with a kickoff, college overtime does not, which would make it an awkward fit in the NFL.
The other major reason that the NFL didn't consider adopting a change to the regular season is because of the added risk of injury. Players are always at more of a risk during longer games statistically, making a long, possession-by-possession overtime an unacceptable risk for franchise players worth millions of dollar to their team. As it is, a team that plays in an overtime game the week before is already at a statistical disadvantage the following week, which would only increase if the overtime was lengthened.
Ultimately, the rule change itself isn't that significant, though it eliminates some of the controversy surrounding the coin toss and won't allow a team to simply settle for a field goal if they get the ball first. However, the new overtime is a logistical rule change that is a nice hybrid between the sudden-death overtime and the college format and is further evidence as to why the NFL remains ahead of the other professional sports leagues in the country.

Is This The Direction Hockey Is Heading??? (re-post sorry!)?
How many of you saw the Kesler hit on Morris in last nights Nucks - Coyotes game???
It was an absolute joke, Kesler didn't hit him high, he didn't push him, AND Morris saw him coming but chose to put his head down and play the puck!! Not only that.... but there was a good 10 seconds after the initial hit and NONE of the officials raised their arms for a penalty, it was only after the Coyotes players swarmed Kesler, and once they cleared it up, they gave him a 5 minute major AND tossed him out of the game - a ridiculous call.
So it leads me to ask........ is this really the direction Hockey is headed with all these new rules?? Because if it is then i am not going to be happy, it's going to become more and more like football to the point where you can not hit someone a little hard without getting penalised, fined or suspended.
What an absolute joke.
Haha yeah right - Go Leafs Go!! - from ROCK BOTTOM of the Eastern Conference. 
Kesler is no shrinking violet.
He hit him from behind which propelled him into the boards and could have easily caused head/neck injury. If the hit was open-ice...not an issue but it was into the boards. Not that it matters but Morris thought it was a dirty hit.
When one of the Sedins or Burrows is on the receiving end of one of these hits keep this in mind that you didn't think it was a penalty...methinks you might have a slight change of heart.
Do I think he should be suspended? No. A five-minute major might be at the high end, but Kesler clearly had him in the crosshairs (call it potentially predatory). Do I think Morris did everything he could to protect himself? Not really.
The league has intimated that the consequences and results of hits matter.
The open-ice body checks won't and shouldn't go away...it's the predatory hits from behind and to the head that are the issue. Like everything else, it's about finding what is and isn't sweet.
