Agreed. It's at a point now where you expect your channel guide to say "3 hours of commercials occasionally interrupted by NFL Football."

I know that in the UK, the breaks are a HUGE reason that people won't watch a game.

1. The annual Brett Favre speculation: Don't care

2. Thursday Night Football: Agree (Besides Thanksgiving)

3. Throwback uniforms: Don't care

4. Regular-season games overseas: Agree (Preseason or Pro Bowl?)

5. Charging regular-season prices for preseason games: Agree

6. Flyovers: Don't care

7. Warren Sapp on the NFL Network: Don't care (A lot of people shouldn't have the jobs that they do)

8. The phrase "commitment to excellence" in connection with the Oakland Raiders: Don't care

9. Coaches' halftime interviews: Don't care

10. Regular-season OT rules: Agree (If it ain't broke don't fix it)

If it's payback for The Beatles then surely the game should come to Liverpool. London can't breed talent like that.

This is why C5's coverage was the best, instead of Sky's breaks every 5 minutes C5 would do analysis instead. Then again maybe thats why they struggle for money.

Yeah, and the dominos advert on Sky are sooooo annoying! There are only so many times I can watch them before I feel like puncturing my ear drums

If the current Patriots logo (Flying Elvis) has been over done, it's time for something new, and better. I love the old Pat Patriot, 3 point stance, but as much as I love the image, the uniforms are done, gone... except Roger wants to make more money. I don't understand wanting to go back to something that represents a time period where the team struggled more often than not.

I know I'm in the minority on this thought, but i don't want to go back- I want this team to forge a new identity and move on. That goes for their play, and if it goes for the uniforms than so be it. Maybe they can get a logo that looks bad ass, and tough, and hopefully the team can back that up. I want this team to kick ass and I'm actually glad they're being looked over by many. There's only one sentiment I want to hear from all of the "experts" who have written off the Pats this year come December and January, and that is "Ooops... guess I was wrong". Yeah, you were. Again.

Well, big time musicians rarely stay in the one place to play, record and do infact own homes logistically closer to where they work. My family has a place in Spain, I'm still from Liverpool.

The Who, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd & Sex Pistols all say Wha?

Edit: my takes on Judge's list -

1. Want to end the Lord Farvequad speculation? Then stop writing about him.

2. 30 Rock sux, just like Thursday Night Football, exc. for Thursday Night Thanksgiving. I love the addition of a 3rd - and usually more compelling - game.

3. I don't mind seeing the throwbacks at least once per year, esp. Pat Patriot, who's much cooler than Flying Elvis. The Pat Patriot unis should appear at least 4X per year.

4. Couldn't agree more; reg. season games overseas (incl. Mexico) are a national disgrace.

5. Also agree with Judge; MLB doesn't charge the same prices for pre-season baseball, so why should the NFL?

6. I agree; save flyovers for Opening Day & POs.

7. I agree; Sapp, Marshall Faulk, Deion Sanders & Michael Irvin are unlistenable, ignorant jerks. Jamie Dukes is barely tolerable.

8. Keep the phrase; it's good for a laugh every year.

9. I agree; coaches don't reveal much during an entire post-game press conference, so why bother asking them anything as they're running off the field?

10. This should be the OT rule: each team gets one posession; if the first team scores on its first posession, then the other team gets the chance to match. What the heck is so hard about that?
