Last weekend, the Philadelphia Eagles game ended in a tie. In the NFL, if after regulation time, the game ends in a tie, then there is one fifteen minute overtime period. If the score is still tied, then the game goes down in the books as a tie.
Unfortunately, the Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback didn't know this. He allowed time to expire without his kicker getting on the field to try a field goal.
In sports, they say a tie is like "kissing your sister." In this case, it reminds me more of the story of Jacob from the Old Testament who marries the wrong sister after his Father-in-Law tricks him and he doesn't realize it until he lifts the veil in the wedding chamber (Genesis 29:15-30).
Whoops, in that case, it's not kissing your sister, but kissing the wrong sister.
