    I'm with you. They need to be trying to speed up these games not coming up with more time stoppages.

        Same here, but I doubt the motivation is 100% genuine.

        "How can we create more breaks in the broadcast for ad revenue?"

            Gross? He was willing to wrap it up so he clearly thinks about his health.

            If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

              They should add pass interference to the challengable plays list. There is no reason it isn't on there by now.

                They also need to change it so that teams aren't getting 30+ yards because a quarterback threw **** up and the receiver ran into the guy covering him.

                    Everything needs to be reviewable. Everything.

                    It's not like I'm doing anything else on Sundays. Get the ****ing call right.

                      With inflation I'll assume $100 is about the same as $60 where I live. (The prostitution market)

                      All I know is that the $60 variety are gross. Every last one of them.

                          I disagree... but then again they don't really care about me.

                          They keep making dumb changes and making the game longer and I'm just done. I've already not watched the Super Bowl for the last 3 years because those broadcasts are terrible and just way too long for me to give any ****s about.

                            Well yeah, the NFL is doing plenty of things to kill my enjoyment of football. The reviews aren't one of them.

                              The "game is too long" argument against getting calls right makes no sense to me. But then again I dont ever think to myself "this game is too long".

                              Imo getting the calls right, specifically pass interference the way its become, is more important than shaving 20 minutes off a game. Im not talking about giving coaches 10 challenge flags a game.

                                It shouldn't take 3-4 hours to play a game that has 4 timed minutes quarters of 15 minutes. I'm not saying that they shouldn't get the calls right, but adding more game stoppages kind of kills my enjoyment. I don't like watching commercials with sprinklings of football in between them.
