Makes a difference when you can say, "We will get'em tomorrow." That is the only thing I hate about football. For the players, physically, I can understand. Imagine a if they played as many games as the baseball players do. Football is sudden death. One play, one foul, one mistake and it could be all she wrote.

Haha, game on! That's the thing I love about football. Let's argue about the nature of sudden death in football. I have always supported the concept that the stakes are paramount in every game, and even more so in OT. There ain't no tomorrow in football, it's kill or be killed, sudden death is awesome. "One play, one foul, one mistake and it could be all she wrote. " Thaaat's right You better deliver when it's crunch time, cause there ain't no do-overs or second chances, like in the more relaxed and forgiving baseball. This is war! One play, one yard--a game-winning catch with one toe dragging in the corner of the endzone with no time remaining--can be all that separates greatness from despair.

Now, rebuttal please.
