Yes indeed: Way too many commercials, and they repeat the same commercial,in the same break, even local ads! I counted one time and they showed literally the same truck commercial four times in the same single commercial break. It’s ridiculous.

That’s what I’m talking about.

I heard that there is about 11 minutes of solid game action in a 60 minute football game.

It sure seems that NFL games are getting longer. Decades ago, a game would take between 2:45 and 3 hours to play. Now games routinely take about 3 1/2 hours. What is that extra half hour comprised of? Some of it is chatter on the halftime report, but most of it seems to be more commercials.

Or, for sake of argument, assume the entire 60 minutes is live game action, even if they are just in the huddle. Then there are 2 1/2 hours more taken up with other things, mostly commercials.
