there is no reason at all why regular season games shouldn't just end in a tie after regulation. if no one scores in the one ot period, it ends in a tie anyway-so why bother? the game should end after four periods.
as for playoffs and the superbowl-if the game is sudden death, which it is, they should just continue where play ended in the fourth quarter. there should be no kickoff. this would keep teams from playing it safe towards the end of regulation. as for the sudden death rule, i have no problem with it. the team who scored at the end of regulation would win anyway-without the other team possibly getting a shot at the ball. if anything, just use the play clock. don't even bother with the 15 minute clock. play continues til there's a score.
