If the clock didn't run when the ball was dead, they'd have to run plays until the final whistle blows.

I never understood the stupidity of pro footbal in that regard. The QB hands the ball off, the runner is tackled, the whistle blows, and nobody can do anything but huddle up for the next play while the official places the ball ... and the clock keeps running while all this sh!t is going on.

On the other hand, games are way too long. I can’t sit down through a game that lasts four hours.

And it’s really bad when you go to the games because of all the commercial breaks, it’s basically five minutes where nothing is going on.
