Interesting to hear. So there’s about twenty five minutes of actual action , in an almost three hour baseball game.

The clock in football games runs for sixty minutes, and those games tend to take over three hours.

There sure is a lot of dead time in sports, isn’t there?

How much of that is due to the need to make time for TV commercials?

I wasn't aware of how much that really is until I attended a professional football game a couple of years ago. It's unbelievable. That is, after all, where the money is.
