Because if you want to use such a rule, you've got to pick some time at which the provision kicks in. Since it would probably be tough to administer only in the last 5 seconds, and would make the game too long if you used it through the entire game, you have to pick some other arbitrary time. The rulesmakers picked 1 minute.

Yabut,
you said that the rule was
only implemented to cover the last 5 seconds of a quarter. You said that. I heard ya. If so, then
why would the rulesmakers have have to cover
any other period of play other than that? They coulda said "This rule only applies to the last 5 seconds of each quarter".
I'm not giving up until it's time to pop a brownpop and watch the start of the first quarter.
Anybody but Seattle.....we'll never hear the end of it from Rocky....the little sh!t will be insufferable(much like you and the other Pats' fans were over the last few years).....
