On Sunday, The Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles had a final score of 13-13. Each team ended with the same score, resulting in a tie. Last time I checked, this is considered BORING…. this is more boring than tie shopping.

How could this be?

Fans pay money to see one of the teams win the game. The purpose of the game is to see one of the teams come out victorious, not see an ending end up the same way it began.

Let’s take a moment down history lane.

Remember that famous fight when David slugged Goliath? What if Goliath brought a sword to a stone fight? Who’s our lifelong underdog now? Rudy?

How about Obama-McCain? Say the election ends in a tie. Now who’s ruling the country? The Dixie Chicks?

Who could forget “The Miracle On Ice” 1980 Winter Olympics match up between The U.S. and the Soviet Union?  Say the game ends in a 3-3 tie. Now who are our lifelong hockey heroes? The Might Ducks?

If all else fails, flip a coin–just make sure it’s not double-sided.
