How you know your pre-SuperBowl coverage has gone on too long...

You know your coverage has gone on too long when you hear your commentators say:

COMMENTATOR #1: {Paraphrased} "The Saints need to force the turnovers! Statistically, the teams that recover the turnovers win the most games."

COMMENTATOR #2: {Quote} "But will the Saints be able to do that today?"

COMMENTATOR #3: {Quote}"We don't know -- that's why they need to play the game..."

CUT TO COMMERCIAL

Yes, PLEASE, PLEASE! cut to a commercial!! It seems quite obvious that this may be only one of MANY, MANY reasons why they need to play the game... Another might be to see who wins...and what about the revenue from all those commercials? Somebody needs to play a game for there to be commercials, right?  And don't forget that lots of people bought tickets to see a game, so someone might as well play one...

At least we know it has been statistically proven that teams that do things right often win over those that make mistakes.

Maybe 5 1/2 hours is too long to talk about a football game that hasn't happened yet, ya think?

  1. I wonder if those guys ever go back and listen to themselves rambling on senselessly - but then they would have to comment on that too! Great game though!
