Maybe just play it live, uninterrupted, no half-time, no narrative, no "hosts" explaining things, and let everyone watch it from start to finish, and then it's over.

Or...

Have all those things, and have the NFL and networks deal with who gets to entertain during half-time. Go empty your bowels of all the nachos you ate in the first half, during half-time. At least you won't miss the first down of the third quarter.

Better do what my son taught us to do.dvr the game and start watching say an hour into game and zap thru commercials and half time and other time wasters. Catch up to kive action in 4th qtr.
