Thumbs down Can't watch NFL anymore.

Is it me or are there more commercial breaks in NFL games than ever.

I try watching a whole game but unless it's like an incrdible game there are way too many $hity commercials to stomach to watch...

At least you don't miss any of the action during NFL commercial breaks. Can't say the same for NASCAR though. It seems the caution is out every time they come back from a commercial....or the lead has changed. The number of commercials is far too many. Wonder whatever happened to NBC's idea of running the race in a small window during commercials. Bet the sponsors wouldn't go for it.

$5 says you wouldn't be saying that if Ben didn't make that open field tackle.

Can you say Ice Bowl!

Of course I was rootin for the Steelers, but when Bettis lost the ball and the Colts were headed for that touchdown, all I was thinking was "That was still a heck of a game. Honest.

But you are dead on... that game had so many turns in the fourth quarter it felt like an endless spiral.
We in western PA have come too apreciate good playoff games when we them; like the last Pittsburgh Dallas Superbowl.
Nice to be on the other side of a one big one this year... Go STEELERS!!!
