McNabb Was Unaware Teams Could Tie
About Football —
... , who apparently was unaware that regular-season NFL games are limited to a single overtime. During his post game press conference, McNabb was asked his thoughts on finishing in a tie, and he answered by saying he didn't even know you could have a tie in the NFL. Seriously. You can see the video here . It just amazes me that a star NFL quarterback could be unaware of the league's overtime rules, but this basic aspect that most football fans pick up by the age of 12 apparently had somehow eluded McNabb over his entire 10-year career. Think of the implications this could ...
Speed Read: Donovan McNabb Gets Tongue-Tied
SPORTSbyBROOKS —
... Why, the game ends in a tie, of course. But McNabb — this has to be a fake video, according to my tentative faith in humanity — didn’t know ties were a rule in the NFL. Moreover, he said, “I hate to see what would happen in the Super Bowl and in the playoffs.” We here at SbB obtained exclusive footage of the reporters in the press conference: ...

Poor Sports: Bitter Philly Sports Fans Sound Off —
... Among the many upsetting developments from yesterday's Eagles-Bengals "game" was the discovery that many players didn't know NFL games could end in a tie. How is this possible?

When Drew Stanton threw a touchdown pass to John Owens against the Jaguars two weeks ago, it was the first time either of the players had scored. Both obviously want the football they scored their first TD with, but right now it doesn't appear that it has been determined who will get it.
Speaking of Stanton, Jim Colletto said he "did good" against Jacksonville.
The Eagles and Bengals played to a tie on Sunday, and Donovan McNabb didn't even know that was possible. Wow.
Redskins Discuss the NFL Tie Rule
D.C. Sports Bog —
Redskins Discuss the NFL Tie Rule The thing about the flap over Donovan McNabb not knowing NFL games could end in a tie kind of comes down to this: one NFL player after another has told me that on their off days, they don't really like to watch football. Football is work. Their off days are their own. That being the case, it makes sense that some guys might not be familiar with a rule that's different from high school and college rules and that hasn't been invoked since 2002. There's been only one tie in a decade. The tuck rule's been invoked more frequently. That's why Ben ...
