North American team sports are behind the curve. Not saying I approve but it's coming for sure. Hawk....Clippers/SuperCuts good one. Toyota good one as well.

If they limit some of the annoying breaks (especially in football) then I'm all for it. But more likely they will just add this to the already terrible amount of advertisement. Commercial. Kickoff. Commercial. Fumble on the 20. Commercial. 3 and out, field goal. commercial. kickoff. commercial. That friggin happens. 55 seconds of game time and 5 commercials.
