Actually, I love American Football...however, ALL your sports seem to be very, very commercial heavy. I watched a Nascar race once and it was over 4 hours long! I had to split it over 3 nights!


Couldn't agree more about the number of commercials. Gotta pay for them spoiled $15 Million a year athletes somehow (more commercials/higher paid athletes- rinse/repeat)

As far as Nascar in concerned though Mr.Dredd, that's the length that some of them are. As the commercials run, so do the cars. No stoppage of play there. Yet longer races, more commercials- rinse/repeat etc.

It really is a vicious circle where ultimately the fan/consumer pays the price. Such are the ways of Capitalism.

Totally agree, they are so over the top with adds and hype. But the fans still pay/watch.

Me, I gave up on all that stuff when I was about 12 years old. About the same time I picked up Panzer Leader over at Toys-R-Us.

I love playing all of them, basketball was my favorite until unjuries began to keep me off the courts.

Soccer is communist, plain and simple. Do you think Karl Marx played wide reciever in college ? Hell no. Did Joseph Stalin ever do a lateral end around ? I think not. Did Chairman Mao throw a screen pass to his running back....no.

But, they all played soccer for sure. Just like all the rest of the communists in the world.....

Oh no......I guess I need to take a break or something.....

What I do is tune the DVR to the football game I want to watch, then start watching it 1-1.5 hours after it starts, then fast forward through the commercials and halftime. By the time I catch up with the real game in the 3rd-4th quarter, there are fewer commercials it seems.

Ugh...isn't that the truth. Football has TV timeouts where they pause the game so the networks can show some ads. Baseball has digitally added 'rolling billboards' behind home plate that you see with every at bat. It's just ridiculous.

Lol, soccer is very British and ... well ... European.

However, I never really understood how baseball works or why some folks get so enthusiastic about it.

Mike,

That's us, not DR - we generally update prices quarterly, we are a bit overdue as we've been too busy to go through and do that, but we'll catch up at some point in August.

It's payday. It's nearly the end of August...

Again all you North Americans, Poms and Europeans have got it wrong! The only real game of footy (football) is Aussie rules, its the only game u can run (with), bounce, mark (catch) and kick. It doesn't have to go go over or under the bar just through the sticks (posts)and if you miss the middle pair there are still posts either side of the goals to give additional chance to score. how fair is that? And most importantly when you run with the ball and the player with the ball is caught by an opposing player, the whole stadium yells balllll now that football![:D][:D]

Aerial ping-pong is the best way to describe it. [:)] But seriously, I can't find a single sport that doesn't have its charms (and annoyances). I can even watch synchronised swimming without falling asleep. But I try hard to limit the amount of sport I watch on the idiot box, reserving my viewing for the really big events. Get up off the couch, guys!
