One...Two...Three...SHOOT!

There is another chance for the NFL to do what is right and allow Rock, Paper, Scissors ("RPS") to be incorporated into the league. As ESPN's John Clayton has reported:

"The deadlock between the Browns and Buccaneers for the third pick in the draft will be settled this week by a coin toss. Each team finished 4-12 and played a 137-119 schedule, so because draft position ties are given to the team with the easier schedule, the league has to go to the coin. This is important because the third pick will be a huge one."

Such a "huge" pick in the draft should not be left up to the statistically flawed, random dumb luck of a coin toss. RPS is the only solution. The Deuce has mentioned before how RPS & The NFL should be brought together and this is another instance of how an event of great significance (high draft position) should not be left up to dumb luck.

Its a wonder that the USARPS League has not picked up on this and started another petition? Perhaps none in the organization are Browns or Buccaneers fans because the loser of the coin-toss should be outraged.

Why have a coin decide when a battle of the mind & skill could solve it all? Plus, we'll say it again, their spokesmodels are hot!
