It's offensive that they have commercials after a score, then after the kickoff after that score. It's not like there is a natural pause in the game so might as well go to a commercial. There is the kickoff return or knee in the endzone, the offense and defense immediately run onto the field, and they stand around for a minute doing nothing so there can be a TV timeout. Pisses me off.

been that way for over 15 years

1. They changed all the rules to make it less like football and more like knitting. Part of the appeal was the violent nature of the game. The inbalance is awful.
2. ESPN is endless in its politicizing nature on every issue with an extremely left leaning perspective. The largest demographic of NFL and sports in general is White Males who overwhelmingly have a right leaning perspective
3. No one is different. I can tune in to a college game and watch a Baylor style spread offense in the morning, the option in the afternoon and a bama smashmouth game at night. The NFL is basically every team running the same plays and it is a matter of who executes it better. Yawn.
4. I sat in a bar recently with three tv's on three different nfl games. Guy sitting at the bar knew every player in the league it seems but he wasn't watching the games..... he was watching his phone for fantasy football updates because he is in five leagues. He doesn't care who wins, just that his player gets points. This is another reason people like the red zone channel.

i think the commercial rate has been the same for over 15 years so you may think you are seeing more ads but you're not
you may be right about this Chop....but it certainly seems like more! Perhaps we've had enough after all these years?

Doesn't "Cable Cutting" disable one from getting Local Channels as well though?

To my knowledge Local TV Channels are Digitally Delivered now so No Cable = No TV period.

Thats what I thought, anyway.

Doesn't surprise me that you didn't know that as your posts paint the picture of a very dumb, closed minded idiot.

Yes, you can get local channels using a digital antenna which has nothing to do with Obama by the way.

Some of you are living in echo chambers.

i hope the premise that people are tuning out a bad product and making a political statement is correct. For a number of reasons.

I can't stand the inconsistent officiating
i can't stand the suffocating commercials
i can't stand the political bullshit
i can't stand roger's injustice and unmitigated authority
i can't stand the inconsistencies found everywhere
i can't stand petulant brats not appreciating the blessings they have

Bingo!!!
