The 55 mph Award for "Rule that absolutely needs to be changed"
(One other possible format change that we discussed in Monday's "B.S. Report" -- in the divisional playoffs, the No. 1 seeds get to pick which team they want to play. Why? BECAUSE IT'S IDIOTIC THAT THE GIANTS FOUGHT ALL YEAR TO WIN THE NO. 1 SEED, AND NOW THEY HAVE TO PLAY A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS EAGLES TEAM INSTEAD OF A CARDINALS TEAM THAT WOULD HAVE A ZERO PERCENT CHANCE OF BEATING THEM!!!!!! Sorry, I had to go all-caps there. It's that dumb. So is Tennessee playing 12-5 Baltimore instead of 9-8 San Diego. I don't get it.)

hmmm sounds like me in fantasy football the last two years...

can't miss sections of the BS report:
The John Madden Award for "Performance that most resembled a 'Madden' video game opponent if you're playing the computer and it decides there's no effing way you're winning the game"
- Go Chargers

The Shannon Tweed in "Hot Dog The Movie" Hot Tub Award for the "Random TV moment that inadvertently ushered in puberty for an entire generation of 13-year-old males"
- i can't believe he forgets the Duran Duran Rio comes on right before that scene.

The Marisa Tomei Suddenly Getting Naked In Every Movie Award for "The most dumbfounding ongoing occurrence"
- Fuck she is hot...  The Wrestler (good movie) and Before the devil knows you are dead (don't know if the movie is any good but it's worth skimming through it).

That's just cause you're a poor fucking sport, asshat.   


On a serious note, I gotta say I like their OT idea.  Although I'm a bit more partial to the college rules, I think they're on to something.  Great article Q, thanks for the link!

it was just bad luck... just like when i drew Briman for our 3 man tourney

All Briman's fault

I gave you DeAngelo, Q.   That was my gift to you so you could take the #1 seed.  That way I was nearly guaranteed a meeting.

Yep, I agree with Simmons on both accounts.  His overtime idea is great, because it forces teams to do everything they can to score, and makes FG's a last resort only.

Also I agree that the #1 seed should be allowed a very short window to choose who they face.  For example, decide by midnight sunday night.  Simmons is exactly right, the #1 seed is a big deal.  Any team who can earn it should be given the advantage, and definitely not have to face the clearly tougher of two remaining teams left to play in the divisional round.
