AND FOR ****S SAKES, THESE MEN MAKE MILLIONS. THEY CAN STOMACH A LITTLE MORE FOR THE PLAYOFFS.

I think you're joking on the first point, so don't take me too seriously. I thought it was understood that I meant you'd be tied after another period and no one wants the game going that long. You have to end the game within an extra period if at all possible.
I'd actually argue that with the recent rule changes, they've already taken special teams (or in this case the kickoff) out of the game. I think it's pretty obvious that the kickoff return is barely a factor in games these days. I honestly think we're a few years off of eliminating it completely.
