I think I would miss the anticipation of whether the first downs were made or not...unless they could develop something like they have in tennis - where the crowd can follow the ball right up to the split-second it lands.

What irks me much more than that is when a team scores, then there's a commercial, then one play later (the kickoff), there's another full commercial.

Sometimes I get so frustrated with NFL games having so many commercials, I set out to count the number of commercials and the total time taken up by those commercials compared to the total time of actual play. But, I get distracted by about the fourth one.

I also hate the back-ground (supposedly) music on, not only all highlights, but on all graphics.

I recall a graphic earlier this year during a baseball game displaying certain managers win-loss totals - accompanied by still more music.

At least Casey Stengel was enjoyable when he filled 'dead air'.
