NFL Playoff OT rule change
Overtime rules for playoff games modified by league
The NFL has changed the rules governing its overtime playoff games, eliminating the chance for a team to win with a field goal on their first possession, a league spokesman said on Tuesday.
Starting next season, the team with the first possession in overtime would have to score a touchdown to end the game. But if they only manage a field goal then the opposing team will get a chance to end the game by scoring a touchdown.
If both teams score field goals on their first possession, or fail to score, then classic sudden-death rules would come into effect, with the next team to score winning the game.
Last season, the New Orleans Saints advanced to the NFL's championship game after winning the coin toss in overtime and nailing a 40-yard field goal on their first drive, ending the Minnesota Vikings' season.
NFL owners voted 28-4 in favor of the proposal, according to the league's website. (www.nfl.com)
In the college version of American football, both teams are allowed at least one possession in overtime.

This is worse than the Michael Jordan stuff when he couldn't make up his mind. Reportedly to sign with them for one year for 10 - 12 million.
OT: 2016 Olympics Golf, and Rugby Sevens

Rugby 7's is a lot of fun to watch, I'm just curious if the US has enough professional level players to field a team?

Hypothetical

Hypothetically speaking, if the Rangers continue this slide and drop the next 10 or even 8 of the next 10 games does Washington get fired? Also, would JD be fired along with him? I'm attaching a poll for Wash's replacement in the event that he did get fired.

OT: Thanks Veterans!

To any other fellow Veterans out there, retirees, or if you're currently serving whether it be active duty or national guard/reserves. Thank you very much for your contribution to this great country of ours. It's been a while for myself (12 years) since I finished my term in the US Army, but I personally know the sacrifice it is to leave all of your loved ones behind and from the bottom of my heart I truly thank you.
Happy Veterans Day!

Wow....didn't even realize he was sick.
A very imaginative good author with some excellent books. Timeline was fantastic, but the movie was complete shite.

Just 22 and I don't mind dying.
He made it a lot farther than 22, but alas the great Bo Diddley has passed.
I guess that makes number 3.
OT:Weird Trades

The Laredo Broncos of the United League traded for John Odom from the Calgary Vipers last week.
In exchange for Odom's services they gave the Calgary Vipers 10 bats .
This got me thinking, I know there are other weird trades out there where one player was traded for something out of the ordinary. Especially back in the early early days of baseball. I'm creating this fanpost for anyone that knows of or has heard of any other weird trades to post the story here.

A-Rod a p*$%y?
by Escher on May 7, 2008 10:49 AM EDT
on Lone Star Ball
We now have confirmation that A-Rod is in fact a pussy. He apparently passed out during the birth of his daughter back in 04. I guess the aftermath of the colossal collapse they made to the Sox in the ALCS in combination with watching his daughter being born was too much for him. So while his wife is working her ass off trying to birth their daughter he's on the floor with a towel on his head moaning.

Laird's Defense - Again.

on Lone Star Ball
Okay just to get some of your panties out of a wad I've changed the poll, sorry to those that have voted, you'll now have to re-vote.
Let's see what LSB thinks about Laird's defense. In your own opinion in all aspects of catcher defense (whatever you personally use to rate catchers on) where does Laird rate in defense?
Typing this to get to 75 words so that my wonderful fan poll can be posted on Lone Star Ball. If you are still reading this then you should probably go and find something else to do because you are obviously way too bored.

The winter weather storm is hitting earlier than anticipated. It looks like west of FW and Denton are getting the brunt right now. Here in Irving we've got some freezing rain mixing in with the regular but overall not too bad yet.

ESPN Sound-Off!

on Lone Star Ball
At the suggestion of shrooms, I'm starting a diary to find out how many original ESPN Message Board posters are still hanging around. If you posted on the ESPN message board for the Rangers or some other team post in this diary. If your moniker has changed put in your post the one(s) you used to use on ESPN.
So all of you former ESPN posters sound-off!
Obviously we have AJM a.k.a. meno here. My name on ESPN was Escher30 not a huge departure.
