I am getting tired of all the UNFAIR pro sports analogies. If you want the NFL model use a fair one=> They make a new rule that allows kickoffs after a score to be either normal OR the scoring team can try kicking a field goal instead. Gee, seems like there might be a lot of 3 points racked up in succession before a missed kick allowed the opponents to have access to the ball again..
