"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

The NFL owners committee voted 28-4 in favor of a modified overtime scenario. Gone are the days where you could simply kick a field goal in the post 15 minutes of a tied game for a victory. Now the first team to score a touch down is the winner. If a team kicks a field goal in overtime, the opposing team gets a chance to field the ball. If that team kicks a field goal then it is obviously tied and the ball must be kicked off again. If the 15 minute period expires at a tie, then a subsequent 15 minute quarter will be played until there is a winner.

So far the rule is just for post season play but there will be another meeting in May to discuss whether or not it will be used for regular season play as well. How do you football fans feel about the new rule change?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Both teams should get an equal amount of possessions to score in overtime regardless if it's a FG or TD. I don't like making special rules for playoff games either. It should be all or nothing.
