I've never liked the concept of ties in sports. Baseball goes virtually every day from April through October, and they play extra innings until someone wins. I wish the NHL and NFL would do the same.
Back in 1975 (I was about 10), my family came within inches of moving to SF. Only thing that stopped it was an 11th hour counter-offer from my father's employer. So as it turns out, I've been an east-coaster all my life. Always wondered what it would have been like to live in SF. I've been there once and it was quite a sight.
