It's got to be frustrating to the players to just walk around during these LONG TV timeouts....what kind of game flow can you maintain? Oops....sorry 'bout the bad pun. Cheers!

If you've ever been to a "LIVE" Big Time sporting event, almost regardless of the sport, (but especially basketball and pro football) that take a lot of commercial breaks and timeouts, it's so much worse than being at home!

Football = Kickoff -commercial, punt - commercial, interception - commercial, TD - commercial, injury - commercial, etc. AND, that's with 8 minutes to go in the first quarter! Many times the games have absolutely no flow. At least at home you can flip channels, go to the fridge, DVR/TIVO, etc.

My $.02.
