Fox is the worst culprit of excessive commercials and self promotion. How many times do we need to be reminded that A “all new episode of bullshit is coming up after the game. Lo and behold Joe Moviestar has a seat on the 50 yard line! “Just happpens to be in the new show we have been shoving down your throats for the last hour! Oh yea, there’s a football game here”. Do we need high tech,super imposed graphics to tell us its 3rd @ 5? Fox makes the games almost unbearable to watch!

Actually, I posted after reading ONLY the bottom four! When he got the Bengals right, I knew that he couldn’t be ALL wrong. I’d have put the Jets near the bottom, though, instead of near the top. Ugly.

Byron, youâ€™re just elated that your beloved Stealers come in at number 6. And Iâ€™ve got one word for “NFL Detractor”: TiVo.

But…we’re not asking the NFL to care. We’re just fans, not liberals.

How many times have you seen this scenario? Team A has the ball at Team B’s nine yard line. It’s first and goal with seven seconds left in the third quarter. Team A comes out in a shotgun formation and Team B calls a timeout to get the appropriate personnel on the field and the NFL takes a commercial break.

Back from commercial, Team A runs the ball up the middle and is stopped at Team B’s five yard line. The quarter ends and the NFL takes a commercial break.

After the teams change sides, Team A scores on a fantastic roll out pass by the quarterback with 14:56 remaining in the fourth quarter. Team A kicks the extra point and the NFL takes a commercial break.

When they finally get back to the game, Team A kicks off to Team B who returns the ball to their own 24 yard line. After the play, the NFL takes a commercial break.

Then, when they FINALLY return from the final commercial, the announcers tell you to make sure you watch the “new hit show” on *insert network here*.

Now let’s do the math here. For eleven seconds of actual game time, you’ve had to sit through approximately twelve minutes of commercials. Why do they do this? Like I mentioned earlier, the NFL doesn’t care about you. The only thing that matters to them is the bottom line.
