			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Chargers win over the Colts again created discussion about the overtime system used by the NFL.</p>
<p>Personally, I dont like the idea of tossing a coin to commence overtime when there is statistical proof (Google it if you are interested) that the team winning the toss is more likely to win the game.</p>
<p>Its a professional league &#8211; it should have professional rules.</p>
<p>I have seen many NFL overtime solutions put forward but my preference is for the game to continue into a 5th quarter, as a direct continuation of the 4th. i.e. if the game ends after 4 quarters with Team A about to play 3rd down on the opposition 45 yard line, then the 5th quarter would commence with Team A playing its 3rd down on the opposition 45 yard line.</p>
<p>Its simple, its clean and its perfectly fair. It is just a natural extension of the game already being played.</p>
<p>No coin tossing, no funny Mickey Mouse rules like college football &#8211; just playing regular football until someone wins.</p>
<p>What do you think? Am I being too simple?</p>
<p>see ya</p>
