They show some highlights, then we have interviews followed by 'expert' panel discussion which analyses the replays. Then, of course, it's time for commercials. We tend to watch most of these programmes on the hard-drive recorder starting later than the scheduled start so that we can fast forward through the 'waste'!!Steve Halpinhttp://etacsolutions.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782156.post-3395657957266022922010-01-21T12:31:21.748-05:002010-01-21T12:31:21.748-05:00Joe:

The "skip forward" function on the remote control allows the viewer to skip forward through 30-sec commercials. With the NFL 40-sec continuous clock or the NCAA 25-sec clock, the 30 sec interval is perfect for seeing the play (about five sec) and then skipping the replays, huddle, etc. I watched the Iowa Hawkeyes' Orange Bowl victory in approx. 1 hr 15 min!<br /><br />Now, for baseball, I don't think there is any hope. At least Rick Sutcliffe is not pitching for the Cubs anymore!<br /><br />GLBGLBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705147620210459472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782156.post-64707797958855879272010-01-18T09:37:25.164-05:002010-01-18T09:37:25.164-05:00As much as I love watching the NY Jets, the NVA ti...As much as I love watching the NY Jets, the NVA time is excruciating.

You see the replays of all of the scores and good plays in those last few minutes and you cut closer to the value. We don't use this tactic with baseball as it is a relaxing pastime.Chet Framehttp://www.bbcintl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782156.post-18354266786631711472010-01-17T19:56:53.622-05:002010-01-17T19:56:53.622-05:00Great minds think alike, I also blogged about this...Great minds think alike, I also blogged about this today:<br /><br />http://www.leanblog.org/2010/01/only-11-minutes-of-value-in-an-nfl-game/<br /><br />And got some good discussion.Mark Grabanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953086531083611251noreply@blogger.com
