It’s not about the length Schefty it’s about the principle. It’s advertised as a premium because of commercial free football otherwise we could just OCTOBOX box the Sunday ticket and we know what to expect. Especially less than a week away from its first premiere under ESPN.

The amount of advertising will go up year after year and soon there will be an ad-free version you can get for an additional fee. The playbook is obvious.

If it’s such an insignificant amount of time, why not make it zero instead of continuing to ruin every property ESPN vacuums up
