No commercials during the USA//Canada game yesterday

Did anybody notice this? There were no commercials during the periods. They only had brief commercials during the intermissions. That was awesome.
I believe they said they were doing 8 one minute breaks for the players/refs throughout each period. Which was fine because NBC either showed/explained key moments from earlier, offensive/defensive strategy examples or showed historical moments in USA hockey history.
Imagine a CFB game like that? Okay, on can dream.

It’s a shame. The rest of the world needs to know there’s a drug to help their GLP-1, HIV status and abscesses from their obesity. With a few reminders that Jesus gets “us” too of course

I don't mind the NHL TV timeouts. They are set at under 14, under 10, and under 6. Gives you time to go the bathroom, grab a drink etc.
College football is ridiculous with theirs, and they are longer than the NHL

Now College football has four 3.5 minute ad breaks per quarter AND ads on the jerseys.

This just reminded me that the NHL doesn’t do TV commercial breaks during OT in the playoffs.
Also reminded me of the 5 OT game during the Covid bubble playoffs in between the Lightning and Blue Jackets in AUGUST lol. I watched the entire game. I root for the Bolts too, my adopted team. I was still living there at the time.

Probably only a matter of time until we get ads on the helmets too, which is terrible for teams that have classic helmets.

They can put as many ads on field, stadiums, jerseys, referees, fans, equipment as they want if it meant I could watch a football game in under 2 hours.

Then people would stop actually going to the games. In order to fill these 100,000+ seat stadiums, you have people driving in from 2+ hours each way,

You think people would stop going to the games if they lasted 2 hours or less?
People would be more likely to go.
Best part about soccer, in person or on TV, in that I generally know when it will end and can appropriately plan rest of day around it.

NBC made the decision to not air any commercials. People should give them props.
It's the most unbelievable thing I have seen in a while

I love that it is usually wrapped up and over all by noon here in the United States.

Ask your doctor about SPHINCTLAXRA, but do be knowing that it may cause anal leakage and rapid-onset dementia.
