Another Super Bore is Done

Ooohh. Wow. Whoopty doooo.

Another Super Bore has gone by the wayside. (Thank Goodness!)

I know that New Orleans won the game, but that's about it. As has become my yearly rebellion, I did not watch the Super Bore. Instead, I played Tiger Woods PGA Tour on my computer. It was far better than the football game, I'm sure.

Let's see. There was (aside from endless hype and sports prognostications on a multitude of channels, approximately four hours of pre-game. That's right. The pre-game show lasted longer than the stinkin game. Pathetic. I mean, how many times can you say the same BS about teams and players before redundancy bores your entire audience? Apparently it takes at least four hours!

Then, the game itself. Recently a study was released that examined how much time an NFL game actually takes to play. I'm not talking about air time; I mean, how many minutes of action occurs in an average game? Well, this study concluded that in a sixty minute game (the game clock), there was an average of eleven minutes of game play. You read that right...ELEVEN minutes of actual plays being run. The rest of the usual three hour allotment of time is spent between plays, time outs, half-time, commercials, and unceasing, irritating commentating by the broadcast personalities.

Anyway, following the big game, there is one hour of post-game wrap up slated. So that totals five hours of extra coverage...for eleven minutes of action. Ooooooooooooo........

I just don't get why this one game is so hyped. It just doesn't make sense.

...but then, I'm not a beer swigging, mindless meat head who derives their one true pleasure in life from a game so overwrought in self indulgence that I blindly follow what the advertisers and the NFL are saying about how awesome an experience the Super Bore is (or pretends to be); when in reality, it's eleven minutes wrapped up in an eight hour package of redundant dialogue and ridiculously pricey commercials.
