A few years ago I tried watching a playoff game, I couldn’t believe how many stoppages happened, it had absolutely no flow. Also the glitz level was horrendous. My biggest beef has always been it’s a league where the players can’t or won’t self police each other, thus raging hulk poses and fruity gyrations after meaningless plays in blow outs. They had to come up with lame rules for acting like a jerk ‘excessively’.

Yep, I hear you with stoppages.. It’s annoying to try to watch a game.
My pet peeve, is that after a touchdown, there’s a natural break for commercials. So we go to a commercial break. Then, we come back for the kickoff, then we go to another commercial break of several minutes.
Another pet peeve, is that with constant replay reviews, we interrupt the flow of the game. Also, there seem to be flags on every other play nowadays. Which also delays the game, calls back what appeared to be an exciting play, etc.
Just do some simple math. The clock runs for 60 minutes, but it takes 3 1/2 hours to play a football game nowadays. What’s going on for the other 2 1/2 hours?
