Tried to listen to your Buffalo Bills opening game on teh radio. The ratio of action vs commercials was so staggeringly one sided I Hadda turn it off and listen instead to podcasts. Is the NFL greed killing the game?
Note: when I listen to the Red Wings baseball there's a direct feed to the play-by-play announcer on TuneIn Radio. When the inning is over there's simply an open mic without anyone talking.
Can football be this way?
Yeah, I gotta have something going when the Saints are on. There is just so... much... dead time. And the commish loves it, thinks it's great, NFL couldn't be better. THE SHIELD!!!!
They are headed to the same paradox of sports radio between 5 and 6. Hey, everyone's on the road! Let's run all our commercials then! Meanwhile, if I am on the road from 5 to 6 I just put it over to the USB drive because I don't want wall to wall commercials.
I don't want to say never because it will probably happen again, but with all the dead time I can't imagine going to an NFL game in person these days. I went to one a couple years ago in New Orleans with my wife and THANK GOD it was her. We ended up talking to each other for four hours, occasionally getting up to watch an exciting play. So I mean, it was great because the Saints were there and so was she, but that was a lot of dead time.
