Should the NFL get rid of the coin flip?

[ML Dog]

I think the coin flip has got to be one of the stupidest rules in sports. From my perspective the home team should get the ball first (or decide) as part of home field advantage. Imagine if they flipped a coin in baseball to see who bats first/second? Lame! And for the Super Bowl the team with the better record gets the call.

Well if we're getting rid of the Coin Flip why don't we get rid of all these ridiculous "Holidays" as well? I mean...no one genuinely celebrates this "Thanksgiving" thing its just an excuse to eat Food, Christmas....well need I even SAY....that got lost a long long time ago...Halloween?

Maybe we should just have no Traditions. Nothing of Yesterday should Remain.

Just curl up on a dank musty wet Chalkboard and beg for Oatmeal or Sleep, and be Thankful for whichever comes first.

Thanksgiving food is awesome and Halloween is also a good tradition. Flipping a coin to see who gets an edge in a sporting event is lame. Change is good when it makes something better. Like video replays in sports.

No problem with a coin flip. What's an alternative, drawing straws or perhaps a dick measuring contest?

i think OT rules should be each team has a chance to score regardless of a TD or FG by the first attacking. Coin flip should to decide which way the want to attack (when playing outdoor places this is a factor) or maybe you know your defense is a little tired so you attack first and give them some extra minutes to rest. But both teams should be able to have possession at least once

Of course not...It was a mulligan

A mulligan is a second chance to perform an action, usually after the first chance went wrong through bad luck or a blunder. - wikipedia


my brother said this shit to me to describe that sequence...I looked up the word and I thought it was the exact way to describe this situation.


they happen more in tennis or in golf....not the nfl.
