No more slogging it out for hours, watching the clock and counting your reps – unless you love it! We will now return to our regular Punt, FG, Punt, Punt, FG, Punt programming.Some exciting news has just dropped, and if you’re always in a hurry and never can find enough time to workout then you’re going to want to take the time to read this!Ī new study has found you can build strength in just 13 minutes at the gym. “While you were on break, there was a pick-6, a FF returned for TD, a 90 yard pass TD, a 95 yard kick returned for TD and a 65 yard FG. Then you go to a commercial break with the score tied at 3 and when you come back 5 minutes later the score is 20-17. You watch a TNF game and it’s more relaxing than a lullaby. These are the real issues nowadays, not the length of halftime. Same thing is happening now to NFL and I can’t blame the fans who claim to be done with this sport. Each one by itself is boring but the combination of the two is devastating. Ultimately, what put me off was the lack of competition and the insane amount of commercial breaks. The NFL clearly doesn’t want to address the elephant in the room so they’re focusing on the mouse in the corner.Ĭoming from Europe, I was a huge F1 fan and tried to follow it in the States as well, despite the weird hours here.
The profit plan will collapse on itself because the game has been made nearly unwatchable by clueless lawyers and profiteers. When that number reaches a critical threshold the advertisers won’t justify the money spent and the networks will immediately follow suit. Look at the ratings, it is happening already. Keep messing with the game and enough of us will cut down on how much we watch. They fail to realize that the game itself is what gives them their profits, not the advertisers or networks. Then, they decided that making boatloads of cash (beyond the huge profits they were already getting) was more important than the game itself. This league used to be about providing viewers and fans (at home and in the stadiums) with an entertaining sport. Rather than the stupid fantasy football info (that people who care about already know from their phone feeds) scroll silent adds on the bottom bar. Personally, I believe the game should take place at its own pace rather than stopping so the networks can run commercials nobody really watches. We all know that is a horrid way to present the game. Why fix stuff that is not broken? Try extending halftime to an even 15 minutes and use that time to put the score/PAT/kickoff in. THAT is why ratings are down, not because of an election, or a halftime taking 2 minutes more than it should, etc. He blamed the union saying “the union wants this”…Umm, no they don’t.Įver notice how Goodell deflects to not be held accountable and his little despicable, disgusting minions do the same thing, as they treat us like idiots? Look at the reasoning Blandino gave yesterday as to why they want to eliminate jumping over the line of scrimmage on FGs or PATs. The problem is the baggage and drama allwoed by petty owners and Goodell as the administrator, trying to get through aN NFL season.ĭiehard fans are tire of Goodell’s lies and treating customers/fans like idiots. The obnoxious commercials after kick offs, halftime, etc, is not the problem. I say make halftime15mins and cut out a few commercial breaks during the actual game. They are just playing a smoke and mirrors game with the halftime bs. The problem is the ridiculous amount of commercials to line the NFLs pockets. Halftime isn’t the problem, I think everyone needs the time to restock snacks, beer, bathroom break etc. Apparently, this is the type of administrative matter that the league office can handle without a vote of the owners. The change doesn’t appear on a lengthy list of proposed rule changes for 2017. “So we’re going to eliminate all of those discretionary periods of time and just have a clock, 13 minutes and 30 seconds, and at the end of that period, the ball will be made ready for play for the second half kickoff.” “Halftime currently is 12 minutes, but there is built-in delay time that involves teams getting to the locker room and the infrastructure of our stadiums and how they’re configured,” Competition Committee chairman Rich McKay said during a Thursday conference call. Moving forward, all halftimes will last precisely 13 minutes and 30 seconds. While on the surface that could make some games longer, the 12-minute intermission currently has some play in the joints. The duration of intermission will expand from 12 minutes to 13 minutes and 30 seconds. As the NFL looks to tighten the belt regarding the amount of time it takes to play a game, the league will be adopting a one-size-fits-all approach to halftime.
