Before the 2009 Super Bowl, the pre-game show is five hours. The game telecast is four and a half hours, normally they allot three hours.
Someone at ESPN timed the actual plays of a game, while players were in motion, running around: the game’s actual EXCERCISED length with people in action = five minutes, forty seconds!!
Yep – our priorities are in order, 9.5 hrs of broadcast time in a row for six actual minutes of sports action! I don't have the heart to calc the minutes of commercials for all this, that's usually 20 min per hour, likely more tomorrow!
TIVO this sucker, watch it in 15 minutes, taking time to slow-mo the cheerleaders bouncing up and down (the "Man Show" on Spike used to end with slo-mo's of teenage girls on trampolines!)
-- and who said "advertising was dead"?
Well, some guy on CNBC said they give away a lot of time now! NO WAY they're gonna lengthen the shows back again though - better to give the time to the army, a local vocational school, or even the guy from the Ron Howard short film on Lettermen, his brother Clint who was a wino that collected dead rats! he ends up on tv commercials promising "a free dead rat with every tv purchase!"
Time = Money, so this sucker is costing the nation nine hrs x 200 million people, that's 1.8 BILLION hours total. Enough to CURE freakin' cancer!
