Do we need a coin flip??

Tripper Harrison · 11-12-2012, 10:50 PM

Why dont we have a certain set of rules, and do away with the coin flip, especially during conference play? Watching the NFL game, I wondered, if each team has the same number of home and away games, why do we flip a coin at the beginning of the game, and then again at overtime? Lets just make some rules, so teams know where they stand going into the game. If we make rules, "chance" can't come into play.

Then why play the games at all? Why not just have a computer determine the outcome and publish the results at a specified time each week?

Why leave it to that much chance? Why not program a computer to program another computer to determine the outcome and publish results?
