I see a few problems.
We all know where the money comes from. We know they have to have ads, but I think they get too aggressive with the amount of ads at times.
Sometime in the last couple years the length of games has increased and the important games have gotten even longer. Notice games starting at 11am then 330 Pm instead of 230 like usual. This means they have added almost an extra hour of commercials in those games. While I know some games would run longer most of the time games were done for the 230 window to start.
Here is what I think is part of the problem. Every time there is a commercial break the guy with the timer walks out with the 3 minute timer on it. EVERY TIME. When they have a commercial break, then the next play they score, they go to another 3 minute Break. Then kick, then 3 minute break sometimes. There are too many times they repeat these breaks over and over.
Why can they not alternate some short breaks in. Like 1 minute breaks, every other break. Why not a 1 minute break for 1 ad or 2, 30 sec ads quick when they have just had a 3 minute break a few minutes before.
This might not seem like a huge deal but it would at least help with the flow of the game. There are easy times to go to longer breaks, ie end of quarters, halfs, reviews. But there are other times they should cut those extra breaks down at least in length to help with flow and length of games.
