It's even worse live (in person). They come back for a play that takes a few seconds and then take another 3-4 minute break.

What makes you think they wouldn't simply replace removing the actual Try, with just another(or extended) string of commercials? To paraphrase the Duke of Windsor's travel advice, "When they line up for a try, find a bathroom", that will work whether you're at home or in the stadium.

If they did, they'd at least be making $, which is more than the try makes.
