The NFL is becoming unwatchable

Don't forget Draft Kings. I wasn't aware the NFL passed a new law that stated two consecutive commercials cannot be aired without one of them being a Draft Kings or Fan Duel ad.

Seriously? Jesus, no wondered I was changing the channel during commercials.

the extrea point -> commercial -> Kickoff -> commercial, has always driven me crazy.

In person is even worse. Sitting in your seat wondering why the heck they aren't playing? Too much standing around.

I rarely watch live broadcasts. I DVR virtually all broadcasts. I have also become an avid fan of the fast forward button.

Sports is very hard to do this with, especially football because you're normally not only excited for the game but you're with other people at parties or whatever.

I'd love to be able to DVR the games, but we're always at a Hawk party.

This in particular and too many commercials in general. Not gonna change though. Revenue.

I also enjoy and embrace game day social interaction.

My game day activities are a little different. I most often stop by a local sports bar with fans of multiple teams watching multiple broadcasts. I find it entertaining and enjoyable to watch fan reaction to broadcasts while joking around and trading punch lines. We all have a good time. So much so, I really can't keep up with the unfolding story of any one game.

For me, a recording of a game I am interested in, is essential for a more complete understanding and enjoyment of specific game action. With a recording, one can slow mo, freeze, enhance, fast forward and rewind.

It would be a tiny bit more tolerable if we could actually play either game in the state of Washington.

You seriously can't play fanduel in Washington ? Good grief. What's next, a tax on rain ?

You can't gamble online, period, other than horse racing. It's a class C felony, so it's equal to child porn, animal torture or threatening the governor. :roll:

But hey, let's shove DRAFTKINGS.COM and FANDUEL.COM in everyone's face 17 times per hour.

You guys love your insurance ads. Christ they are on so much I'm thinking of seeing if I can save 15% with Geico whilst humming the Farmers jingle.

I can't take those as I am on nitrates and I may suffer a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

At least you won't have an erection lasting 4 hours.

I'm in the insurance industry and even I hate the insurance ads.

Not only because they're an assault on our senses six times a commercial break, but they're not funny. Hey insurance companies, no one's ever picked up the phone after watching one of your horribly unfunny ads desperately trying to be funny.....................EVER.

So take that 10 billion dollars a year you spend on advertising and lower our god damn rates.

Now you see why the insurance ads are so important. Also, crappy beer ads. Need good insurance if you're gonna drink and drive or pass out from a raging boner.

If you guys don't know Drew Magary and Deadspin, well then you haven't been livin!

This X 1000. Erin Rodgers doesn't need any more money.

Perhaps someone can hack all of the monitors in state buildings in Olympia, and make them play nothing but Fan Duel and Draft Kings ads 24/7.

I don’t know how an enterprise with compromised rules, rich criminals whose misdeeds are instantly forgotten the second they step on the field ( one member of which was made an instant millionaire despite probably raping a woman), a complete disregard for long-term health and a capricious commissioner who cares only about nitpicky rules and money (his own and the league's) bottomed out in entertainment.

Maybe someone smarter than me can explain it.
