How about, “Slow, painful death?”

Time for another beer

“Lingering Death”

Death with chance of parole

how about: sudden victory…. or : first score wins ….how about: tiebreaker

yeh, that’s it — a “tiebreaker”

How about “and now we take you to the regularly scheduled programming cause this game has gone on long enough” for those of us who could give a rat’s … patootie.

How about, “Only mostly dead”? (With apologies to The Princess Bride)

imminent disaster for someone,maybe

How about ending in a tie?

Sorry - old school.

Sudden “mostly” death, or Mostly sudden death

“rac0308”, ties may work in regular season, but in the post-season you have to have a final resolution in overtime.

Wait … maybe … Final Resolu … nah, never mind.

Detention - for those who can’t get it done on time.

Overtime Opportunity Play-off Situation or OOPS

How about ‘overtime’. Now that’s a great concept.

Football…Hm-m-m-m…

Oh yeah! That’s that ‘Alternative Sports Activity’ between the World Series and Opening Day!

Call it what you want, who gives a rats rear…

How about Final Decision

There are no comebacks in extra time, so:

No Comebacks

as in:

“It’s no-comebacks time” or “And now we go to a No Comebacks overtime session”

It has a bit of an edge to it, as well as a spy-thriller history, as the title of a Robert Ludlum short story collection…

Instant oblivion.

In the Canadian Football League (CFL), they call it a “shootout”. Each team gets a maximum of 2 attempts from the 35 yd. line.

why not borrow terminology from another famous game - - - I suggest “all in”

I’d suggest “Draw or die” … it is a shoot out.

It ain’t over until it’s over time.

the fat lady’s warm-up.

I like Crunch Time or Final Crunch Time

I admit it - I pay even less attention to any sport in the off-season than I do during the regular season… Are they getting rid of Sudden Death, or just the name?

Sponser’s Commercial Continuation

abrupt demise

“Coin toss” since that’s what it usually comes down to anyway.

There’s always “…I’m getting better!”

Have you looked at Sean Payton’s face? It’s, “Sullen Death”, Overtime.

Since the league wants to lessen the dependancy on kickers, how about, “A Farewell to Legs”?

Every Participant gets a Certificate Overtime.

It’s like and Out of Body Experience Overtime

All too PC, but — “Incipient Demise”

“Near Death Experience with a ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ order.”

Acute life support overtime
