(For the regular readers of this site, um, that would be nobody, it may come as a shock that I've done two updates in one day, it's OK, I doubt it'll become common)
I was watching the NBC broadcast of the NFL Wild Card Playoff game between the Cowboys and the Seahawks earlier this evening and became seriously annoyed at the amount of commercial breaks. There was a break for every change in possession, score, and replay. Um, hello, I'd like to see the replays while the referee is looking at them. I think one sequence actually went like this:
Cowboys on 3rd and 8, pass play incomplete on sideline, needs review.
Commerical
Back from commercial, ref announces call stands
Punt
Commercial
Seahawks 1st & 10, 2nd & 8, 3rd & 4, 4th down Punt
Commercial
Dallas 1st & 10, fumble needs review
Commercial
Call overturned, 2nd & 10, Interception
Commercial
So on and so forth
Commercial
So you get the pattern here. There's no better way to break up the momentum of watching a football game by having to watch some stupid Nissan Frontier commercial again, or those four dweebs in the cell phone polos whining about Alltel. Regular season games are bad but this was ridiculous.
