I agree the stoppages in American football get irritating. One thing I love about DirectTV is that I can watch replays of games I missed with all commercials and time between plays taken out - 60 minutes of game time = 60 minutes of tube time.
One thing I'll say about soccer is I think those guys are among the best conditioned athletes in the world. I usually jog for an hour a day and I couldn't imagine running with the intensity soccer players for the duration of time. In the end, if you are a professional athlete you've pretty much got the rest of us beat. I'd love to get paid to play a game although it would be baseball for me if given a choice.
