Does that idiot Musberger still call games? He's half the reason I quit watching college football altogether. The other half is that for some reason college games now last as long as a cricket match. Does anyone know when that started? The rise of the six hour college football game?
Christ, I'm turning into my grandfather. If you goons ever catch me in the garage sitting in a lawn chair drinking warm beer, just go ahead and call the nursing home.

It happened when running the ball stopped.
100 passes means 40 incompletions to stop the clock. That's 20 more incompletions and you just added 15 minutes right there. Then score 10 more points per team and you are up 4 extra commercial breaks for another 15 minutes. More plays run means more penalties and more time wasted.
Then throw in 5 video reviews for another 15 minutes and a few video reviews for targeting and the game just got at least an hour longer.
It's funny that baseball is trying to shorten the game to appeal to viewers while football gets constantly longer as ratings rise. Maybe the problem isn't the length of the baseball game.
But I know I can't watch football live anymore. I need the ability to skip ahead. I can watch the entirety of the 4 hour game in under 2 hours.
