This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It seems like the NFL has finally gotten OT right with this by RoccoGlobboSchoolForWomen
As noted below, analytics say it's almost perfectly 50/50. Both teams get the ball, and it will be fun when the kicking team gets the ball down 7 and scores a TD -- they will very likely go for 2 for the ballgame. That's a good way to end things.
That being said, I think in this particular situation, you'd rather have Mahomes get the ball without the benefit of knowing to go for it on 4th down.
By the way, the whole "49ers players didn't know the rules" thing was overblown.
