I just sort of zone out, been watching that long that I guess I'm used to them now. Normally check my phone for twitter updates on the games, injuries etc.My post above mentions adverts during the game. I have got past of the gimmick of American TV, and now find them almost soul-destroying. I went to Wembley to watch the Jags, and it was a different experience not being dragged away from the game every few minutes.
Question to the regulars - how do you handle all of the advert breaks? Do you watch them (repeated constantly), or do you have a better way to use the time? If so, what is it?!
That's the approach I've been taking, although I do end up zoning out too much and then continuing reading Twitter well into the next advert break (or the next Packers offence!). It's a great sport, but American TV broadcasts don't do it justice. Sky coverage is a little better because at least they cut back to the studio as well.I just sort of zone out, been watching that long that I guess I'm used to them now.

Although I do enjoy the medical adverts - where they have to list all of the possible side effects (may cause heart palpitations, possible death etc) for an athlete's foot remedy....
On a Sunday I watch Redzone instead of an individual game (usually with the Chiefs game on a second screen). For the Monday, Thursday and Sunday night games I don't actually notice the adverts too much now (I guess because I've lived here more than 5 years and am used to them?)My post above mentions adverts during the game.

I like the ones that say "Don't take <insert medication here> if you are allergic to <insert medication here>". Like wow, no **** Sherlock, really??That's the approach I've been taking, although I do end up zoning out too much and then continuing reading Twitter well into the next advert break (or the next Packers offence!).

I'm really surprised that those advert side effect lists stand up to the US lawyer scrutiny. The speed that they are read out, they may as well not be there.
