I'm sick of the breakneck pace of NFL TV broadcasts over the past

[Guaranteed]

few years. I'm sick of all the commercials.

You know, it used to be that in between possessions you could actually get a little break and the commentators could sit back and make some thoughtful commentary about what had been going on in the game. It used to be that you could easily get through a whole possession without cutting to commercials. But no more.

Now, teams are running their offense like it's a two-minute drill the whole game and the announcers barely have time to show a replay of the previous play, if it was a good one. It's like the damned game is just cutting into commercial time for the networks. And the commercial breaks are freaking loooooooong.

You can't even crack open a beer and relax anymore. How did they ever manage before? You know, back when watching a game was more game than commercials?

1. They should do away with timeouts

Play it like rugby and soccer. Two halves. No timeouts. Heck, go all the way and do away with pads and helmets.

Now that's a sport I'd pay to watch.

2. Yeah, and I forgot to mention that some people are paying

hundreds of dollars for the NFL Network, or whatever it is. Even THOSE people have to put up with this bullshit.

3. That pisses me off too

Most people pay for cable or satellite and we still have to watch commercials.
