no, the clock runs all the time unless a failed pass goes out of bounds, a player gets injured, a receiver with the ball runs out of bounds, and other similar things. So basically when the game is close in the last quarter, they try as hard as they can to do these things in order to save clock time without using time outs. So like 2 minutes of game time could last 15 in real time due to planning and things. PS- once the clock runs out, the play isn't over. If clock = 0 and the play is still going, then the quarter, or game will end when the play ends. Which is good if a team has 1 last play to make a touchdown with 3 sec to go but say they are on their own 10 yard line, they cannot physically run all the way down the field in 3 seconds and that would really suck since breaks like that are not only hard to get/take advantage of but highly entertaining and arguably the thing that all football players strive for. | ||

I hate to be super tired the entire day It's going to be a good four or five hours including the half time show and all of the formalities. You might want to tape it or something because thats going to go on really late for you lol. | ||

The rest of the time the clock is running while they decide what play to run. However if you look at baseball the actual play time is even less, with most pitches being only a fraction of a second. yea it would be interesting to watch prerecorded sports where they have edited out all the bullshit. | ||

In baseball the pace really adds to the drama. There's this duel between the pitcher and batter going on every few seconds. That part is about as exciting as when there is a hit. In football the pace just bores me. The plays aren't much more exciting than the setup though. I won't be watching it. | ||

I find it to be just the opposite. There's a lot more strategy in football playcalling than there is in a pitcher deciding which pitch to throw. There's also the needed time to rest between plays. Every play in football is an explosion of force that requires a lot of energy. There's no way they could do that non-stop. | ||
