The NFL is getting unwatchable and the games are longer than an MLB game.

So many freaking commercials, it just sucks the life out of the game! I don't understand how fans put up with this?
An average NFL games has 20 commercial breaks with over 100 commercials!

That's from last year games, I'm sure it's worse now more than ever.
Anyway those that complain an MLB game is so long and drawn out the fact is, they're actually 'in play' more often.
Here are the averages:
This years totals.

The next NFL commissioner could revolutionize the game day experience, with a well executed sponsorship 'plan', just sayin, there needs to be some changes!

An average professional football game lasts 3 hours and 12 minutes, but if you tally up the time when the ball is actually in play, the action amounts to a mere 11 minutes.

Aren't college games longer, with all the halftime BS? Anyway, just watch Redzone. The end of the 1:00 games today was ridiculous.

Yes! And that's what prompted me to start this thread.
At the LSU game last night my 7 daughter asked my why they took so many breaks, and I told her, because the game was on TV.
She actually like watching and going to rugby games, because of the pace. It's a shame what they've done to the game (football) It just sucks now....
After the Saints first touchdown today, they went to commercial, they didn't even show the extra point?
I know that don't sound like a big deal, but I'm just wondering why....
Anyway I listen to the radio while watching the Saints play and as soon a commercial break comes on I flip to the RedZone.

I have NFL Rewind. Allows me to watch any game that has been played to date this season. I can watch the full broadcast without commercials or a condensed version that shortens the game to about 45 minutes by cutting out everything except the actual play and a handful of replays.

I just don't watch that much TV. I'm sure people love it, but I can't justify it.

Redzone channel is legit.

Yeah I'm sure it's a big part on why Soccer & Rugby are growing in popularity here. Once you start watching games that don't have all the commercials breaks it's hard to go back to watching commercial ball.
I actually spent most of the day yesterday watching Rugby matches as opposed to the NFL.

I just fast forward through all the commercials. Makes the game much more enjoyable.
