'Super' bowl break even point

Sign in to disble this ad
OK, please, no partisan flaming...

At what point in the game do you think the break even point will come - the point at which the reason for watching the game will tip from the football part to the "what's the next commercial going to be?" part?

Wow... Does that mean you're gonna watch it? Enjoy, I've got better/bigger fish to fry that day. I'll bet there are gonna be some outstanding shows/movies on competing stations during the same time slot as the Super Bowl... or not to mention time to record some tracks.

@4:53 of the second quarter, when the Patriots go up 21-0 off Eli Manning's 2nd pick of the game.

hmm

"Break even" is not right I guess - that's where revenue = costs.
Guess I was thinking "tipping point."
Unless you are a great fan of one team or the other, the level of interest declines for both items (game & commercials) as it goes on...

I loved football when I was younger. But the past few superbowls I have watched sucked.

Going to play music instead.
