Larry David Weighs In on NFL Overtime Rules

If you were wondering what Larry David thinks about the NFL overtime rules, you’re in luck.

In 11 playoff games that have gone to overtime under the current system, the team that gets the ball first has won 10 times.

That includes seven opening-drive touchdowns, meaning the other team never got the ball.

During an appearance on the “Rich Eisen Show” on Tuesday, legendary comedian Larry David was asked about the OT rules, and answered in very Larry David fashion.

“So ridiculous,” David began. “I win a coin toss and I score a touchdown and the other team, they’re done. No good. Why do they not have a chance? A coin toss is deciding the winner of a game. Nothing makes sense in this world.

“I need to be president, not just NFL commissioner … The coin toss is so idiotic. I mean, it’s not idotic, but give the other team a chance to come back. It’s not fair. It’s just not fair. Let’s do what’s fair.”
