Can't remember if it was baseball or American football, but I read somewhere that even though a game is scheduled to last a few hours, if you cut out all the stops and starts, there's only about 15 minutes of actual action in the game itself.

Yeah that’s why when the Panthers play I watch the highlights on YT takes about 15 mins and if they’re on tv I only watch the plays and fast forward the rest. When it’s SB though I watch it live so have to watch all of it lol

We just didnt grow up with it tho- if we were Americans youd bet your ass youd be a NFL fan..

American's are fans of American Football and as big as the following is in the NFL & for those teams, the following for college football I'd say is almost bigger - college sports is massive in America, and much like how supporting an AFL is passed down through the generations here, your college team is passed down through the generations

60 minutes of scheduled game time, and about 3 hours to play it

I've attended 1 NFL match and it was the last round of the regular season, San Fran vs Arizona (match at Candlestick Park), and the atmosphere was unlike anything I've been to

I went to the 95 GF and the 11 GF and in regards to atmosphere, the build up to the game, crowd energy etc, they were both tame in comparison to this regular season NFL match

The carpark and the tailgate was crazy, unlike what we have here and something I'm really glad to have been to

Attending a match is just an experience in itself

I wonder what the ratio for test cricket is...

Just checked the schedule and Tomic doesn't play until 5.15pm - assuming he doesn't decide to withdraw from the tournament before then that is.
