Hard for me to miss a sport that frequently ends up 90 minutes later with a score of 0-0 (or nil-to-nil, for you common folk) after 600 or so “changes of possessions.”

I do love playing the game, especially that kind of game. Or I did back when I could still run, (I'm 64), but watching on TV is frustrating. The play always develops off-screen. This is not as bad with football, but you'll notice that in both the analysis involves the experts looking at a very wide angle shot.
