What happens if the Daytona 500 has a tie?I watch it like the Daytona 500….tune in for the last 5 laps.
I go to sleep, just like the Stupor Bowl.What happens if the Daytona 500 has a tie?

In tightsWow... a lot of money spent to watch grown men play with leather balls...
The end of the WM golf tournament was just as exciting,
You mean there's been more than one?My question was who won the Super Bowl two years ago?
Shanahan's D also just spend the last 3-4 minutes of the 4th quarter fighting off KC's game-tying drive. It was smart of him to elect to get the ball first in OT to give his Defensive unit a breather.As one who grew up in Kansas City, I found it exciting, nerve-wracking, and overall one of the most exciting Super Bowls ever. SF played well enough to win and so did KC. Neither was dominant, both had mistakes from key players (CMC fumble, Pacheco fumble, Mahomes pick, blocked XP), and both struggled to get the ball in the end zone on key drives.
I understand Shanahan's decision to take the ball first in overtime in case both teams score evenly, you get the chance to kick a field goal for the win. I also understand why the Chiefs would want to kick first in overtime. In the end, they both got what they wanted regardless of the coin toss, so it came down to who could execute in OT.
I do not think the Chiefs were the best team in the league this year, but they beat some of the best teams en route to the title. "You gotta beat the best to be the best." With that in mind, any time 15 is on the field, there's a chance.
I think the key moment was the punt hitting the SF blocker's ankle. The ensuing TD swung KC's fortunes and gave them a significant push in momentum.As one who grew up in Kansas City, I found it exciting, nerve-wracking, and overall one of the most exciting Super Bowls ever.

Back when the game was earlier in the day, we used to look forward to Superbowl Sunday... it meant lighter crowds at the ski area.
There is a purpose and a market for escapist recreation and exhibition. Any particular instance not being enduring doesn't make the entire venture worthless.My question was who won the Super Bowl two years ago? Don’t look it up. From memory. Most people don’t remember. But it was extremely important at the time.
If professional sports went away as a form of entertainment, would it matter to the world.?
And yet we spend huge sums of money, time and effort on it.
That was huge, but the blocked extra point was really critical as well.I think the key moment was the punt hitting the SF blocker's ankle. The ensuing TD swung KC's fortunes and gave them a significant push in momentum.
We took advantage of recording capability, so while we skipped most of the first half, we watched the last 5-6 minutes of the first half when it go interesting. Then we skipped the end-of-half talking heads and watched the golf playoff. The half time show wasn't exactly my genre although Usher isn't that bad. We watched the second half and it was pretty good. There but for a missed PAT...Did you watch the whole game? My take was the first half was excruciatingly boring, commercials sucked, halftime show sucked, but the second half was pretty exciting with a crazy finish.
I don’t think we need to hear about somebody’s “D” and balls…this thread is about the Super Bowel!Shanahan's D also just spend the last 3-4 minutes of the 4th quarter fighting off KC's game-tying drive. It was smart of him to elect to get the ball first in OT to give his Defensive unit a breather.
