I would like to see Football OT like college football OT...or at least have both teams with a chance to have the ball.

It was actually my question about NFL OT that prompted me to start this thread. I'm in Canada, and don't watch much NFL, but it appears that whichever team wins the coin toss gets the ball, and if they score it's over.
Correct me of I'm wrong on this, but does this not make the coin toss almost as, or more important than playing the game ?
I'd be concerned about that if I were an NFL fan.
For the hockey guys out there....NEVER CHANGE PLAYOFF OVERTIME. There is nothing that keeps me watching a game than knowing that the next shot could place my team in the finals, or the enemies team. Great excitement.
The NHL needs to find a way to lower the stickwork and water skiing that is so prevalent. Perhaps the instigator rule would do it, or just better enforcement. I feel this season was an improvement on the interference being run. Players have been learning they'll get called for running picks etc.
I'd like to see it so if the goalie feels the need to throw body checks, it would be legal to at least "touch" the goalie. Stay in your net if you want complete diplomatic imunity I say.
