Re: Jeff Fisher: ESPN asked coaches to take timeouts late on Monday night
 

[quote=Angry;749976]I have always believed that the networks cut away from the game way too often. There is no need for it other than the fact that they want to pay their airtime obligations to sponsors. Frankly they are selling too much airtime and as you can see it has affected the outcome of at least one NFL game.

Personally it pisses me off to watch football because of all of the commercial breaks. I would much rather listen to a commentator ramble on about some football related topic than cut away to a stupid ass Geico commercial.

Think of it this way if you were interrupted during sex as much as a football game gets interrupted then you would be pretty pissed off. Now I am not saying that football is like sex but it's pretty freakin close.[/quote]

Wow, lol, imagine if you had sex while watching football? :woot:

[quote=CRedskinsRule;750052]This is my bet, and by the way, didn't we have a similar conversation last year when Gruden came to town? He was the next Skins coach for sure, or something like that.

Anyway, as I see it:
Cowher will end up in Carolina
Gruden in SF
Turner in Dallas
?? in Cleveland[/quote]

Your talking about Norv Turner? I guess I just assumed he would be with the Chargers for a few more yrs. Didn't they just extend his contract like a yr ago?

Does the Tuna come back to coaching somewhere?
Does the GM take over in Cleveland?(Holmgren)
I believe Wade Phillips will be done as well as his OC. Really bad play calling there.

SD is 2-4, if they don't get turned around Turner is definitely going to be on the hotseat.

Gruden will be in Cleveland next year

Certainly very likely, but if SF is available and he can get his own rookie qb I could see him going there.

This thread is hilarious... half of you are talking about coaching vacencies for next year and the other are talking about sex. This thread has been hijacked.

So do you want to merge it and talk about Jimmy Johnson's extenze-ive coaching and commercial repertoire?

Apparently firstdown believes that anything longer than 60 seconds is unnecessary foreplay.

Re: Jeff Fisher: ESPN asked coaches to take timeouts late on Monday night
 

The NFL has been a whore to advertising revenue for years. Back in the day, if a ball carrier went out of bounds, the clock was [I]always[/I] stopped until the next snap. By the 1980's people started complaining that games were getting too long, and clock stoppages were an easy scapegoat, even with the league cramming more and more advertising breaks into the package - the real cause of longer games. So the league responded by altering the rule to restart the clock [I]after the ball is spotted[/I] following a ball carrier running out of bounds. While I'm a much bigger NFL fan than I am an MLB fan, I admire the fact that the MLB hasn't changed rules to whore their game to the almighty advertising dollar.
