Jeff Fisher: ESPN asked coaches to take timeouts late on Monday night | ProFootballTalk.com

How far has MLB fallen? GAME 3 was less watched than the Titans Jags MNF game.

30-3 final

What do you guys think about these Timeouts asked by ESPN? I was wondering if Tenn was just padding stats but I guess not.

I think that's a dangerous precedent.

I have always believed that the networks cut away from the game way too often. There is no need for it other than the fact that they want to pay their airtime obligations to sponsors. Frankly they are selling too much airtime and as you can see it has affected the outcome of at least one NFL game.

Personally it pisses me off to watch football because of all of the commercial breaks. I would much rather listen to a commentator ramble on about some football related topic than cut away to a stupid ass Geico commercial.

Think of it this way if you were interrupted during sex as much as a football game gets interrupted then you would be pretty pissed off. Now I am not saying that football is like sex but it's pretty freakin close.

Wow! However I will agree, that I hate it when the network breaks for a commercial after an extra point, comes back, and then breaks again after the kickoff. That drives me nuts.

Apparently firstdown believes that anything longer than 60 seconds is unnecessary foreplay.

Wow, lol, imagine if you had sex while watching football?

skinsguy · 10-19-2010, 12:39 PM

LOL @ Angry.

I'm speechless..lol!

But yes, the networks breaking away to a commercial for every little stoppage of play is ridiculous. I'm surprised they don't go to commercial while the teams are calling the play in the huddle.
