I've used the "Add extra time to this category" feature of Myth with some
success to add 60 minutes to the end of "Sporting Events".  Of course, this
requires that the guide data classifies it as such.  None of the options
you'll get will be definitive to do automatic scheduling and get everything
right 100% of the time.   Worst case is once a week you go and add overrides
for a couple games to end normally so you don't overlap.
