Peter King debates OT with Don Banks

Peter King and Don Banks debate the NFL's overtime rules after the Colts and King favorite Peyton Manning, lost to the Chargers in overtime Saturday night. (As far as I know Donovan McNabb was not asked to offer his opinion.) Sorry CK I couldn't resist.

King argues that each team should get the ball at least once in overtime, like the college game does so that each team has equal opportunity to score. He backs up his argument with the fact that almost a third of OT games end after the first possession.

Wow, almost one third.

That's a travesty...wait a minute...By doing some 4th grade math I can figure out that 2/3 of the overtime games didn't end after the first possession meaning that both teams had the ball at least once.

As Banks says I can live with that.

But to hear King talk, and he has to anyone who will listen on several radio shows and in this second article about the subject, it's the biggest problem facing the NFL right now.
Really, I can think of some others;

players getting arrested weekly?

the impending labor issues?
perfromance-enhancing drugs?

This goes back to something Dan Patrick said; would Peter King be this upset if it was someone besides Peyton and the Colts that lost this game?

Would he be this upset if the Cardinals or the Chargers or the Dolphins lost in the same way?

Of course not, we can thank heavens that it wasn't Favre and the Jets that lost like that, we'd never hear the end of it.

I read King and Banks every week and think they are a couple of the best around, I just think that King is wrong on this one.

I'm going to keep reading his stuff and listening to him because he has tons of good info and good insight.
