Wow. An hour worth of commercials. Even taking away HT that's still over 45 min worth of commercials. No wonder it seemed like that game was on forever. Same with the miami and TA&M game.

Week 1 viewers noticed right away the upsurge of commercials saturating through the broadcasts. An algorithm was used to pace commericals out.

I hadn't noticed anything different the first two games. But I was at a sports bar for the game Saturday so was just watching all the other games during commercials. Will see if I notice anything different or feel different about anything this week
