That’s the first that I’ve heard about it. All four home teams won, too. Last time that happened was in 2006, when the Colts went on to win the Super Bowl. Those were the days.

the team that scored first lost all 4 games over the weekend has that ever happened before on a playoff weekend?

Manny, I thought I knew about the change long ago, but I was stunned to hear the referee’s explanation before the overtime toss of the coin. I assumed it would be like in college, where both teams would have at least one possession. I wasn’t aware that a touchdown right off the bat would end it. And I wasn’t the only one either. I think the receiver who scored the game-winning touchdown said afterward he thought Pittsburgh also would get a chance with the ball. Too much confusion!

I’m still trying to figure out the new OT rules. Wondering why they would allow both teams an opportunity only when a field goal is scored. The Broncos deserved to win the game after that fantastic play from Tebow to Thomas, but the Steelers should have been given a offensive series after the Denver score. The NFL needs to revisit the OT rule.

Mike, great to hear from you! We’ll see if Seton Hall can keep it up. Remember, I knew the Purates when P.J. had them playing for a national championship. 2012 is shaping up as a very interesting year all around. A year to reconnect. Send me your contact info to frankverde@frankverde.com or just fill out the info on my contact page when you get a chance. We’ll talk soon.
