New NFL Playoff System

The little skirmish between Jim Harbaugh and Jim Schwartz (49er's Coach and Lions Coach) last week got me thinking about colorful and interesting ways for the NFL to decide games which have ended in a tie. Think about Andy Reid and Rex Ryan squaring off like two sumo wrestlers (sans the loin cloths please) in a wrestling match to break a tie. Then you have the Tom Coughlin vs. Mike Shanahan head launch, to see whose head can fly the highest once jettisoned from their body in the heated aftermath of a tie game. As I watch Coughlin for years now, I am amazed that his noggin is still attached despite all of Eli's interceptions, and Ol' Shanny looks like his googly eyes are going to come popping out of his head on springs as he watches Grossman do whatever the hell he does on various Sundays.

Then there could be a "smug-off", between Belichick and Kubiak, but I don't think that would be much of a match. Bill has retired that title for life, and maybe for all of NFL history.

And finally, it would be good to see a sudden death match between incompetent assistants who have been promoted despite their lack of ability featuring Jim Caldwell and Ken Wisenhunt. Actually that would be so boring we could decide it with the current system. Those two guys don't have enough personality to be on the weather channel - apologies to Jim Cantore.
