I DVR every sporting event I watch at home. I then generally start around the halfway point, FF throug the commercials and I can watch and NBA game in an hour. NFL is the best... if you FF through everything but the actual game action you can watch an NFL game in about 30 minutes.I just dont have time or desire to sit for 2+ hours through commercial after commercial, TV time outs, bla bla bla
Me too- I struggle finding 2 hours to devote to live basketball (especially to waste on commercials!)- Some days I don't get back home until after 7pm, and like to be in bed by 10pm if I have to be up early the next day- so that leaves 3 hours to eat, spend time with family/friends and watch a tv show- I can't justify squandering over 2 hours of it watching the Knicks lose!
However, I have ended up with a routine which mainly involves DVR-ing it, desperately avoiding mentions of the score the following working day, then the following evening I watch the first half (forwarding through commercials), and at half time I undergo a dramatic fight with myself, ala Superman 3, regarding resisting the temptation to check on the final score. Really, I think they need to add some sort of automated lock-down that comes with DVR machines, so that as soon as you hit 'play' for a recorded sports game, all your doors and windows are electronically locked, and your mobile phone and internet signals jammed.
