So who here actually likes the new OT rule?

The Hartley Rule? I definitely dont like it, as I dont like rules changes to start with. The rules were fine in 1981, and they didnt need to change anything. I hate change for the sake of change.

Also, I think it needlessly complicates a game already filled with too many rules. One thing baseball has over football, is the timelessness of its rules. Mostly, I think its crybaby crap. I would tell my team, if you dont want to lose in OT from a coin toss, you can either 1. play defense, or 2. win the damn game in regulation.

I could be wrong.
