Commercials and more scoring - win/win for Roger and his millions.

adding more commercials during halftime wouldn't make a difference.
People are more likely to be glued to their tv's the last 2 minutes of each half and catch a commercial or two.
adding more commercials to halftime, just increases the time I'm on another channel watching another game

History[edit]
The origins are from the days in the NFL when the official game time was kept by a member of the officiating crew, with the stadium clock being unofficial. Its purpose was a checkpoint to ensure that the teams knew how much time remained in the game. Since the late 1960s the NFL stadium clock has been official, but by then television was an important factor in the NFL, so the two-minute warning was retained as a commercial break and to serve as "tension building" time, and thus has become an important part of the game's flow.

It allows teams to burn timeouts early and still have a chance to come back.
Last night for instance, without the extended extra point and the two minute warning, that have would have been over with 6 minutes left.
