So, during the two hours and 56 minutes the game took to complete, throughout the 60 minutes of regulation time, the ball was in only in play for 12 minutes and 8 seconds.The rest of the time, players were standing around, plays were being reviewed and I was being bombarded by a multitude of beer commercials and truck advertisements.

That's why, if I can stand the wait
I record the game on DVR and just fast forward through the commercials, huddles, injury time-outs (too many of those this year) and only watch the play. I can watch an entire game in about an hour.

That 12 minutes and 8 seconds is worth ten times the excited for
150 16 hours soccer matches. In true American spirit….kis, ah nevermind. :) Commercial break.
This is my GAP, there are many like it but this one is mine. Without my GAP I am useless, without me, LT will run through my GAP. I will protect my GAP and have my brothers back on his. I will not be moved from my GAP, I am a crazed dog that patrols this area and will defeat all who entire it. I own this GAP, it is mine. I bought it with blood and sweat. I will not be pushed. I will not be moved. This sunday I will make a stand and a statement.
