Comment Don't have time to watch ... (Score 1) 137

I don't have time to watch an entire NFL Football game which is usually around 4 hours, but have found that if I DVR the game, I can skip through the commercials, time between plays, half time, etc. and view every play in just over an hour.

[4, 15 minute quarters = 60 minutes, + a few minutes for mistakes, replays of great plays, etc.]
