We have running the ball out of bounds, penalties (especially stupid ones like encroachment or faking a snap), official time-outs just to tell us there is "no infraction on the field," replay official time-outs, TV time-outs,...I think I've made my point. Aside from baseball, this is the slowest-moving sport ever to be televised. Getting three to five seconds of action for every two minutes of air time is a waste. Gimme a good hockey game any day. Go on, I dare you to compare it to football and say it doesn't move faster and build more tension and excitement...
