...ridiculousness of the NFL's approach becomes clear when you think about the national pasttime. Imagine if at the end of a tied nine inning baseball game, the ump flipped a coin to determine who hits first. If that lucky team scores right away, it wins. It doesn't have to protect its lead by getting the final three outs, and the toss loser doesn't get its chance at "last licks...
...House to Senate to the vice presidency before landing in the Oval Office. In truth, American presidential politics has often been a rookie's game.

Soto batted .285 with 23 home runs, none more clutch than the three-run shot he hit with two outs in the ninth inning to tie the Sept. 18 game against division rival Milwaukee (the Cubs won, 7-6, in 12 innings). He drove in 86 runs, tops among the catchers in the playoffs...
