Read Aram’s latest, football finally has a Mercy rule; running clock starts with 35 point lead

Teams can still agree to a running clock with a 35-point margin at anytime during the contest, but with a 35-point lead entering the fourth quarter, the mercy rule is mandatory …

Aram’s take: I like it! This will effectively end the angry conversation I’ve had with myself (and many reporters have had with themselves) when a game gets out of reach and the clock can’t move quick enough … and I’m wondering “How did I pick this dud?” or … “How did Fred convince me to cover this dud?”
