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.
See Post #61. Play football in four 5-minute quarters, and stop the clock EVERY TIME the whistle blows at the end of a play.
NFL games in the 60’s and 70’s were generally about 2.5 hours long. Three hours was a game that ran long. Kickoffs at 1 PM PST were started after the 10 AM game ended about 12:45, talk and commercials.
Go back to the old rules, you can’t fix the damage done without going back to the basics. The era of Pittsburg and Bradshaw, was just about perfection.
