Could not say it better myself.


That was perfect.

They have a kick-off, and no one grabs the ball.... and it cuts to commercial! And four minutes later it gets back, and it's first and ten... And they throw the ball and no one catches it... and it cuts to commercials! *sigh* two minutes later it's second and ten, and they succeed and run all the way to the field, but no, wait, yellow flags thrown into the field, and the referee speaks to everyone saying facemask and whatever, and the coach challenges it, and the referee goes to watch TV and... cut to commercial...

Football is a TV-friendly sport, commercially speaking. Sports in the US are way too commercial driven. That's why the real football (aka soccer) dosen't suceed in the US. Not to say that our football isn't too commercial either...

You know what I'm going to do? I'll tape the Superbowl and cut down all the interruptions, whenever the play stops I cut directly to the next play beggining. It'll be about 30, 40 minutes of a VERY cool game.
