For all the shit the NFL does with the overtime rules, and all the complaining everybody does with penalty kicks or penalty shots at the close of drawn hockey or soccer games, they probably don't think about the alternative...
This is what happens if you don't have a tie breaker at the close of a game. Imagine the Super Bowl ending in a draw after four quarters, and then having to wait another week and to start over. Imagine the World Cup final having to be played again the next weekend. (Yes. THAT World Cup final.) Or the Olympic hockey final. Or the Rugby World Cup final. It's totally ridiculous. Even the players themselves are upset.
I'm sure somebody will be able to make some money out of the situation either way, but a one off final... that deserves to get resolved in the most dramatic way possible, even in a game of chance. Not by making a do-over.
