^^ I'm surprised the NFL hasn't realized 8:30 is too late for a game. I know the ratings (and advertising dollars) drop pretty dramatically as the game goes on. I wouldn't schedule a game any later than 7, personally. That would ensure everyone, not just drunken 20 somethings and the unemployed can watch and enjoy an evening football game.
pork... I agree the OT system is busted. unless I'making up numbers, I thought I read that something like 70 or 80 percent of OT's are decided by the coin toss, which is unacceptable. Personally, I would like them to just give each team 1 drive, and if neither team scores, it's a tie. end of story. this seams especially feasible given that we're probably going to come out of the lockout with an 18 game schedule, so the individual games are going to count for a little less.
