So past few weeks I decided to DVR Football games
I agree: so?
Yeah, I like having time between plays. I've watched games with all of the downtime cut out and it's just too much, too fast. I want time to think about how the game is going, analyze various big plays, bitch about the refs/coaches/players/announcers, etc.
If you cut out everything but the actual plays (snap to tackle), it supposedly averages about 11 minutes. That's not enough time to eat 5 lbs of nachos.
Exactly. lol @ the nachos. I don't drink beer that fast either, to say nothing of the occasional potty break.
LOL exactly
Yeah, because hours of constant stoppages (live) or commercials (on tv) are so exhilarating.
They don't have commercials during soccer games?
No, actually, watching a bone-crunching tackle on a guy or a guy jumping way in the air to make an amazing catch or the QB throwing an amazing pass between 3 defenders in just the exact spot it had to go to be complete (etc etc, only about a million such examples) is exhilarating. It's also interesting to see how they use all the different plays, formations, strategies - again I could go on for quite awhile. It's an extremely complex game.
THIS, however, is not exhilarating and not exactly complex:
