I am pretty tired of watching 4 hour American "football" games with about 11 minutes of "action."

90 minutes of flat out play where you could miss a great play if you turn your head even for a second.
90 minutes of play uninterrupted by 60 beer commercials, fat burgers, diet pills and political hate messages.
90 minutes of action in @ 105 minutes including the halftime.

Bye "football," bye baseball and basketball you are on notice. Learn how to end the damn game, will you?
