That's because you're only sleeping otherwise.
Just throwing my two cents in here...
I know the sentiment has died down over the last page or so, but to say it doesn't affect the gameplay is a pretty bad thing to say. It doesn't really matter all that much if I didn't watch the game, the mentality changes.
This rule isn't obscure imo. There's only one overtime and considering a tie can be the outcome of a game, it's something that should be known by the players. Imo, I can't see any excuses for not knowing this.
I don't know how much players watch games in their off time, but I don't know why this is getting so much attention. I guess this goes back to me thinking everyone should know this rule, regardless of their exposure. I'd imagine they got to watch a lot of football either in their college days or previous, if not currently.
I was actually surprised to read that no ties have occurred since 2002, I thought there would be have been more, but oh well...that's getting offtopic.
