After watching a replay of a world cup game (on ESPN classic), I think it's a good idea for all sports to settle ties the way soccer does with penalty kicks.
For basketball, if the score is tied at the end of regulation in basketball, a 5 minute overtime then free throw shooting until one team gets ahead by 2 alternating players.
For the NFL, the standard 15 minute overtime, follow by a field goal kicking contest. Start at the 10 and move back 5 yards per kick until someone misses.
Hockey could use the same system as soccer. No more playoff games going overtime and messing up the TV schedule.
For baseball, I wavering between tobacco spitting and who can blow the biggest bubble gum bubble.
[BTW: For those thinking I'm serious about this, gotcha. I was quite disappointed to see a hard fought game be settled by penalty kicks. Why not follow the lead of the NHL and remove a player every 10 minutes of overtime uuntil either it's 5 on 5 or until someone scores.]
