due to the lack of commercials and that he knew it would take exactly 2 hours. He worked at home 7 days a week so this was his run up to NFL games.

I’ve had the same feeling at the one NFL game I’ve been to (Pittsburgh at Baltimore) and many college games. My wife and I went to a Ga. Tech at UVa game probably 25 years ago. It was back and forth ending with a 50 yard hook and lateral TD for UVa. I knew something was different- it wasn’t televised (seems impossible these days) so they just kept going. It was totally different.
