Super Bowl: More Commercials Than Football?
It's as if Fox had to make up for that long Giants drive in the first quarter.
here is how I recall the sequence.
1. Fox goes to a long commercial break at the end of the first quarter.
2. Patriots come back, score from the 1, kick the PAT, and Fox goes to a long commercial break.
3. Patriots kickoff out of bounds ... and Fox goes to a THIRD massively long commercial break.
So, three plays, one of them a PAT, and about nine minutes of commercials.
Ack. I feel your pain.
(We're able to follow the commercials here in the stadium thanks to tiny TVs at our tables in the stands ... and the tiny transistor radio tuned to the Fox commentary.)
The NFl ultimately is an advertising delivery device.

Was this NFL's subtle way of saying the game is secondary?
But notice after the half, the score is surprisingly close & low.
