Superbowl Warning
*WARNING*
It's Superbowl Sunday. Before turning on that game, answer this important question: * Is your heart healthy enough for football? (Be sure to ask this question to all your buddies too) |

(Be sure to ask this question to all your buddies too) It was too funny to affect the heart. The Broncos had lost the game by the end of the first quarter. In retrospect, they lost game at the first snap. -- ³Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.² ‹ Aaron Levenstein |

Well, I don't know. I"m reminded of Yogi Berra's statement, "It ain't over till it's over". He was talking about baseball, where one team can score any number of runs in the last inning and time is not a factor. But in many sports, including football, one team can fall so far behind the other that at some time, there's no way they can catch up. I think I've seen 16 points scored in the last 3 minutes once, but never more than that. |

I think I've seen 16 points scored in the last 3 minutes once, but never more than that. It's really quite simple. Until the final whistle is blown in an NFL game, neither team has won or lost. It doesn't matter if it's physically impossible for a team to catch up, they haven't _lost_ until the final whistle blows. The only things a team can be while there is still time left on the clock is winning, losing or tied. In fact, a team can be losing when there is 0:00 on the clock at the end of the 4th quarter and still not have lost yet. I'll leave that one for you to figure out. There is no "mercy rule" in NFL football. A team could be ahead by 400 points with 30 seconds left on the clock but they haven't won yet. They certainly are winning, but they haven't won, so the other team hasn't lost. Yogi Berra's comment applies to football just as well as baseball. It ain't over until it's over, and it ain't over until the final whistle blows. |

: In fact, a team can be losing when there is 0:00 on the clock at the end of the 4th quarter and still not have lost yet. I'll leave that one for you to figure out. I can think of at least three such scenarios: 1. A play is in progress when time expires, with the losing team in possession of the ball. The game does not end until the play ends. 2. The losing team scores a touchdown on the last play. They still get to try for the PAT. 3. The losing team is on offense when time expires, and the defense is called for a penalty on the last play. An NFL game cannot end on an accepted penalty, so the offense gets to run one more play. |
