Professional Sports Without a Clock

I've been giving professional sports a critical look in an attempt to make the games simpler...I believe that Football and Basketball could be played without a clock with little change to the rules, but racing to a score..say 100 for basketball, and 40 for football, and with possitional, possession, and points penalties.

It would be tough to accomplish this within the networks' time restraints for hockey and soccer, being that they are low scoring games and a "race-to" condition would see large variation in the length of games. It might be possible to engineer these games to run a desired ammount of time, but I'm not sure exactly how.

Then again, baseball IS America's pasttime and it may be reserved throughout history as the timeless sport.
