10 Years in the League and You Didn't Know???

OK, I realize there are a lot of rules, regulations, plays and strategies these guys have got to memorize, but I just can't believe Donavan McNabb didn't know games can end in a tie. And if he really didn't know, I don't think he should go around saying that publicly. He's been in the league way too long to not know that. Now I will cut him a little slack since it is very rare that teams don't score in overtime so I can believe he may have forgotten, but that he didn't know???? Come on. Now what I definitely agree with is that it's a stupid rule. McNabb brought up an excellent point...what happens if this happens in a playoff game or the Super Bowl? Do the rules suddenly change so that you have double or triple overtime? If you're going to do it for those games, you might as well do it for all the games. A tie doesn't do anything for either team. And it's rather disheartening to fight through an entire game plus overtime and no one wins at the end. In a such a physical sport, it seems like such a waste of time and energy if there's no decisive outcome. To me it's like both teams lose. Anything that's not a W is a loss because it takes away from your record. When it comes down to those wild card standings, you're going to wish that 1 in the tie column was in the W column instead. And if it was in the L column, at least you'll know why you're not in the playoffs. I'm not sure what the best solution is - one possession each, sudden death, one full quarter - but I know ties just doesn't make any sense. But this is just my opinion.
