Their constant desire for and increase in revenue and new revenue outlets have resulted in three hour broadcasts of games that average around an actual 11 minutes of playtime. their website is unusable due to advertisement. fantasy football is another money grab that has been crammed down the throats of NFL consumers that IMO has hurt the actual game.

An average professional <b>football game</b> lasts 3 hours and 12 minutes, but if you tally up the <b>time</b> when the ball is actually in <b>play</b>, the action amounts to a mere 11 minutes. Part of the discrepancy has to do with the basic rules of American <b>football</b>.
