Same here. Halftime is supposed to last 20 minutes, not the half hour that it expands to in this game and various college bowlgames. I played football in high school, and invariably, we were ready to go again after about a 10 minute break. In college and the pros, I can see 15 to allow for coaches to make adjustments and trainers to take care of the players, but when you drag it out so long, it kills momentum, and players start losing their edge.
Not to mention the fact that televised football games are getting closer and closer to 4 hour marathons with all the commercials. I usually watch the SEC game on CBS during the college season, and it starts at 2:30 CST. More than often, it runs past 6. And anybody who's seen an entire Monday night football game knows the pain...
I think the Super Bowl should be played on Saturday instead of Sunday. I know it goes against tradition but if the game was on a Saturday night people wouldn't have to worry about getting up to go to work the next day.
