Re: "Wouldn't it be easier to replace the coin toss with a computerized version?" That's good. Actually, drawing straws would be better. I remember that Detroit-Pittsburgh game a couple years ago when the ref allegedly blew the call on the overtime coin flip, then later it was discovered that each guy on the Steelers called it different, even though the only call the TV camera picked up was the last, loudest call. Ref supposedly went with the first, softer call. Hell, given enough time, everything gets messed up somewhere along the line.
