..........................................Eagles Tie! Eagles Tie!
The opening lyrics for the Eagles fight song is being changed from Fly, Eagles Fly to Tie, Eagles, Tie...
Paging Rush Limbaugh...
No doubt, he is an 0bama supporter....
Not defending McNabb, but it is a stupid rule. They should play until someone scores or until one coach withdraws and “gives” the game to the other team.
Philthadelphia Iggles fans should be starting their annual “cut McNabb/fire Reid” riots a month early this year.
Well we have officials who don’t know the damn rules of the game (See the ending of the Steelers vs Chargers yesterday) why not QBs who don’t know the rules?
I’m not sure who’s the dumbest of the bunch: McNabb, Andy Reid, or the team management who hasn’t been able to get a playmaker since T.O.
If there is no score in the 15 minutes [of the first and only overtime period (for preseason and regular season)], the game shall end in a tie.
See "Exception" at the very end.
Digest of Rules Main:
Sudden Death
1. The sudden death system of determining the winner shall prevail when score is tied at the end of the regulation playing time of all NFL games. The team scoring first during overtime play shall be the winner and the game automatically ends upon any score (by safety, field goal, or touchdown) or when a score is awarded by Referee for a palpably unfair act.
2. At the end of regulation time the Referee will immediately toss coin at center of field in accordance with rules pertaining to the usual pregame toss. The captain of the visiting team will call the toss prior to the coin being flipped.
3. Following a three-minute intermission after the end of the regulation game, play will be continued in 15-minute periods or until there is a score*. There is a two-minute intermission between subsequent periods. The teams change goals at the start of each period. Each team has three time outs per half and all general timing provisions apply as during a regular game. Disqualified players are not allowed to return.
*Exception: In preseason and regular season games there shall be a maximum of 15 minutes of sudden death with two time outs instead of three. General provisions that apply for the fourth quarter will prevail. Try not attempted if touchdown scored. If there is no score in the 15 minutes, the game shall end in a tie.
If you can't manage to beat the Bungles in regulation plus one overtime period, you don't deserve to win.
So what? I bet Andy Reid didn’t know either!
I didn’t know baseball could end in a tie till it happened in the all star game some years back.
So far no ties in NASCAR.
Hard to believe McNabb hasn’t heard the old saying “Let’s tie one for the Gipper”.
I’ll never forget the Giants-Redskins tie game in 1997. Gus Ferrotte headbutted the wall and injured himself. What a dope.
All that love from Philadelphia sports fans just went south with that tied game from yesterday.
I didn’t know.......
When I first came to America and was watching Yankee Football in my local boozer the locals told me you couldn’t have a draw (tie) so I don’t reckon he’s alone in being mistaken.
