Speaking of commercials

During the Giants/GB game there were 142 commercials, and 39 what I call plugs. The commercials after the commercials. That doesn't count the AT&T half time show, the Sprint play of the week, the Doritos super bowl week, the... you get the point

(1) Get a TiVo.
(2) Set it to record the game.
(3) Start playback about 45-60 minutes after the game starts
(4) Fast-forward/skip commercials.

By the time you "catch up" with the live broadcast, it will be the two-minute warning.

as bad as that was i think the Pats / SD game was much worse...CBS cut to a commercial at every single possible opportunity..that and Phil Simms almost made it unbearable to watch..

at least Fox had a few times where they kept the camera on the field during changes of possession or time outs... CBS had none of that...

its all about money $...well at least the SB commercials are creative enough to keep the women interested.

ps: i use robert's tivo trick a lot for movies

Your exactly right. That's why I decided to sacrifice myself and sit thu then all. Wanted to see how many there actually were. Once I catch up to technology I'll do the tevo thing.
