Jerry Jones will spend almost as much time next season rooting against Cleveland as he will rooting for his Dallas Cowboys. That's because the Cowboys now have the Browns' first pick, courtesy of Cleveland's desire to get back into the first round of last weekend's draft to grab Brady Quinn as he went into free-fall.

It really should be simple. If nearly two-thirds of the NFL's overtime games last season were won by the team that won the coin toss, why not try to do something about it? Nope. As they often do, the league's owners, coaches and general managers decided to put off what they couldn't agree upon — even something as simple as moving up the spot of the overtime kickoff 5 yards.
