Thread Name: BS: American football in Britain?
Subject: RE: BS: American football in Britain?
Hafta agree about the advert breaks. But almost everything here runs on them...even NPR has been forced to take outside funding in order to stay afloat. At least with baseball & American football there are natural pauses every 10 min. or so... and one can always go get another beer.. or empty the last one... during ads. When I watch 'soccer', I either sit in pain or say, "Hey..nothing has happened for 42 minutes, I'll go on to the bathroom!" Then BOOM -2 goals in 5 minutes!
"either get into it or spend your time wanking." I seldom have stayed in hotels...but don't they have special channels for that?
