This is American Football...Not soccer, NO F’n ties!!!

For most of the history of the NFL, and in college football, ties were quite common. Not as common as in pre-overtime NHL hockey, but common.

Here is an arbitrarily chosen year 's standings:

Thanks for the fact sheet...still doesn’t change the fact that I do not want to spend 3 or 4 hours of my life watching a game only to end in tie...One more reason why I seem to be spending more time watching UFC and MMA.
