Baseball is slowly dying as its pace is not accepted by the younger generations. 50% of viewers are over 50. Unless there is another team who can win the World Series after 108 year absence very few will be watching. And Cuban should stick to his awful shark tank show.

Baseball has been dying for 100 years.

With the epic hail Mary? I am loving this game. Nothing better than a cold weather game at lambeau.

That one play was the only highlight of the 1st half.

2nd half got better, but 1st half was a snoozefest

Ok get rid of the ref reviews...adds a good 20 mins to game easy and breaks momentum up for a offense.  Ditch the stop clock after first down...maybe do it for last 2 mins of half.

Last nights game took like 4-1/2 hours. It is way too long. I didn't even look at last nights game until like 10:30 PM  and it was only halfway through the 3rd, and I watched only between doing other tasks. Went to bed around midnight my wife asks who won the game and I go the check the score on ESPN app and there are 4 minutes left? So I watched the final 4 minutes tuning in at midnight, for a game that is supposed to begin at 8 PM....

I threw in the towel at 11:15. I read an article that said I missed a good finish.

I'm with The Pirate, I can't get enough of CFB as is.

last night was nearly 4 1/2 hours.  Lots of scoring & passing helps stretch, but I do think something simple like not stopping the clock after first downs, would make sense.  Or, only stopping on first downs in the last 2 minutes of each half.
