[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 948245, member: 7261"] At the time, I don't think anyone thought a game that went an extra quarter and a half would add what 4 hrs to it....crazy. I think some used that as a "we have to avoid this in the future and prevent games going past 1 OT." I also remember conversation about a "Heidi game" , will link the info below. But games normally took only 2 1/2 hrs back then and the Jets-Raider game went past 3 hrs! Now games are lasting close to 3 1/2 hrs! I don't think that is because of the game itself taking longer, I think it is by design so that the Networks can run more commercials to pay for the huge fee they pay the NFL to carry them. Some day, the games will be at Noon and 4, allowing more commercial time. [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidi_Game[/URL] [/QUOTE]
