flThe NFL Competition Committee is seriously discussing about changing the Overtime rules.

In the upcoming meeting, all the owners will be asked to vote on a proposal to change the Overtime rules. Due to several reasons, the coin flip has become a significant factor in determining the outcome of overtime. Kickers are more accurate, offenses are too efficient and, under the current system, there is a better than 1-in-3 chance (34.4 percent) that overtime will end with the first possession. (more…)

All the NFL team owners, Coaches and front office executives are going to meet in Orlando this week for the NFL’s annual meetings. All NFL analysts and senior players are believing that Overtime may be the main agenda in the meeting in order to change the format of Overtime.

There is a lot of things to discuss during the offseason, but Overtime policies might be the main agenda. The NFL’s competition committee has discovered that winning the coin toss can be an increasingly unfair advantage, or the final nail in the coffin for the team forced to kickoff. Finally, the committee has proposed that the league adjust its overtime format in the postseason. (more…)

The Jets announced on Saturday that they’re looking forward to a coin toss that will be held to determine who gets to play the first regular-season game at the stadium the organizations share equally.

“We look forward to the coin toss,” Jets spokesman Bruce Speight said.

Sounds fair. The only problem is no one else, including the NFL, will confirm this coin toss will actually take place. The theory is that the Jets, fearing the game will simply be awarded to the Giants, want a coin flip to take place because then they’d have a chance. (more…)

He said in the case yesterday that the trainer told him that “everything was legal” with StarCaps, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Williams, who is suing the league along with teammate Kevin Williams, apparently took the stuff to get rid of fluid from his body due to gout. They want to get out of the four-game suspensions the league gave them in 2008, but obviously it means more to them than just that. (more…)
