About time Roger Goodell does something good...

--On Wednesday, the NFL sent an email to fans announcing that it will implement changes aimed at improving game flow and reduce the number of “unnecessary disruptions to the game” to make the experience of watching both in-stadium and at home better.

 

Commissioner Roger Goodell talked to USA Today’s Tom Pelissero and addressed one annoyance fans had that he said bugs him too: the dreaded touchdown-commercial-kickoff-commercial combo.

 

“It drives me crazy,” Goodell said. “We call those ‘double-ups.’ They actually occurred 27 percent of the time (on kickoffs last season). And that’s still too high for us.”

 

The goal is to eliminate double-ups, he said.

 

Goodell said league research showed that fans are bothered by the number of commercial pauses, but don’t notice as much the length; as such, there will now be a standard pattern of four commercial breaks per quarter of 2:20, as opposed to five or six at 1:50 each.

 

Networks will be allowed to break for ads during replay reviews.

 

Other broadcast changes include an occasional double box with commercials on one side and a peek into what’s happening inside the stadium on the other, or a sponsored break with just one brand or company instead of several commercials for different products.--
