Nobody in my house cares for football, but we all admit to being curious about the ads an, to a lesser extent, the halftime. I mean, there's no marching bands making interesting shapes while they play the tunes anymore. (geezer moment). So, we tape the game and do anything else in the world we want to while the little machine does the work. Then we watch the tape at our convenience and zip through the dull bits, like the football game. Marythehedonist
