Let’s talk boring…

[bordelais7]

Not really the point - just a hypothetical. Does the game of football in and of itself have enough excitement to sustain a season as long as some of the other major sports.

I find football painfully boring if I'm not emotionally invested in the game. It's way too long and has far too many stoppages in play.

An interesting perspective.

Average duration of an NFL game = 3:05, with approximately 20 minutes of actual action. An 11% "active play to total time" ratio. If you count the huddles and returning to the line of scrimmage while the clock is running, you get 33% (60 minutes)
Basketball: 2:18, 60, 43%
Hockey: 2:21, 60, 43%
Soccer: 1:48, 90, 83%
Baseball: 2:52, ?, ?
Bordelais7: 0:30, 30, 100%

Baseball is tough to quantify; more than any other sport there is that "game within the game". And of course with many of the above, there is argument to be had about the "quality" of the action.

wish my wife knew what the yellow first down line even was.

My wife doesn't really care about basketball or football but she indulges me. Took me to see the Jazz V. Clips on 12/28. The one where the Jazz blew the 19 point lead to lose it in the 4th. She wears Broncos and Jazz gear also.

Are you serious?

Football is by far the best sport to watch.

I tend to agree but I do wish there were less commercials, punts ending in a fair catch, touchbacks, and I wish they would just eliminate extra points all together.

The worst is when there is a touchdown..... five minutes of commercials...... extra point or kickoff...... five more minutes of commercials.

At least the sunday ticket has options where they show the game really fast ( play after play with no huddles) and the red zone channel is awesome

Football + DVR 30 sec skip = match made in heaven.

Nah I like following the tension and strategy of the game.

i watch about 10 games in their entirety throughout the week. monday, tuesday, thursday, friday, saturday x3, sunday x3

LOL - that's easily about 35 hours of football. I watch every Giant game, maybe the end of The Jet game - just to watch them lose.

I'll watch MNF if I have a chance to win my weekly football pool at work. But even I'll watch it at the bar with my friends and it's more or less background noise.

But there's no way I can invest 3 and a half hours 2x during the week to watch a game - that's just too much time.

There isn't really strategy in extra points though..... they are a waste of time.
I'm sure you could look it up but I think extra points are made over 99% of the time...... I say make every team go for 2 or give each team the option of taking the automatic 1 point or go for 2.... no more extra points.

Also even you must hate it when a kickoff is sandwiched between 2 sets of commercials
