Football Games Have 11 Minutes of Action - WSJ.com Via peterwknox And I wonder why the girlfriend detests watching American football… She’ll put up with proper football, because that’s basically non-stop for 90 minutes, but American football bores the crap out of her. It wasn’t until I went to see a game live (Giants - Dolphins at Wembley a few years ago) that I realised just how much the game is dictated by TV. The players spend so much time waiting to come back from commercial breaks that it’s quite funny to see them all standing around in the middle of the field, needlessly delaying the game taking place. I still love watching it though. Looking forward to this weekend’s games already.

About

Londoner, thinking and writing far too much about far too many random things. Wannabe photo-/videographer of my life. More likely to be found propping up a bar somewhere.

I also write about football.

This mess is powered by Tumblr, on which there are many things I like. You can also ask me anything.
