Why I Prefer Hockey over Football

Well another Super Bowl , er, Big Game, has come and gone without me watching.  I watched the last couple of years because the local-ish Seattle Seahawks were involved, but I have no regional or personal stake in Carolina or Denver.  I’m sure they’re very nice places, and the teams are probably popping with interesting stories, so it’s my loss in the end.  I got in a little discussion today about the amount of actual playing time there is in an NFL game, and I dug about and found the statistics.

and lastly, 11 minutes of football being played.

I am quoting the article, and I notice it doesn’t quite add up, but that’s the way it was presented.  Where hockey comes in, in my comparison, is that the average hockey telecast is about 2 hours 40 minutes and includes at least 60 full minutes of action, dotted with ads, players spitting and two 17 minute intermissions.  It’s a whole lot more bang for your buck.  Add in the guys skating around at 25 mph with razors on their boots, and shooting a rubber bullet 100 mph and you have a nice fast, dangerous sport.  Hell, they’re even allowed to fight.
