I don't know what I enjoyed more from that video -- the fumble itself, or the good ol' 70s credit crawl.

I'm also enjoying the fact that I used the Giants/Bucs game as an example for a basketball parallel on a basketball board, and what's the more interesting subject here? The NFL.

I guess I got away without "OT."

Just this once.

I think it's difficult to find a basketball equivalent...winning team shooting a shot with the shot clock off with the defense conceding a loss is the closest thing I could think of. Or perhaps a winning team continuing to full court press when the game is no longer in doubt. Besides that, I've got nothing.

I can't really think of any basketball equivalents that are as dangerous.

When we know a team is trying to foul, we call fouls that we have not called all game. It is not exactly the same, but is an awareness of the situation and adjusting to the end of the game situation.

I really wasn't looking for dangerous. It was more about things a coach got furious about that were well within the rules. It could be dangerous, but doesn't have to be.

And yes, I'm struggling to think of an example, too.
