No it's set in stone, when two 15 minute quarters finish, the game is at halftime.

Keep in mind that 15 minute quarters actually take 50 minutes

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

So 11:23 left plus stoppages?

Wait, half time isn't set in stone?
Like you have to wait until both teams agree on half time? How long does a match last?

Both of these posts are amazing.

 

[BlastProcessing]

The clock stops in-between plays.

Haha, I grew up in Alabama, so I had no choice but to understand it.

Sometimes the clock stops. Sometimes it doesn't. Depends really.

I clicked on that ESPN link and it's like I'm reading a lost language.

lol maybe one day I'll know what this means but yeah right now I'm lost

 

[adj_noun]

Will it show up online pretty much instantly after its shown at the half? I don't have cable and I'm pretty sure espngo.com doesn't show commercials.

I have to assume so. I mean, it's Star Wars.

 

[d1rtn4p]

Jesus. More commercials than game. Let's go!

Technically they have to flood the stadium and have naval battles until someone is declared the Master and Commander before half time can commence.

 

[AlphaStriker]

Man I love watching football, but this has got to be the longest quarter of football ever.

Between this and your disdain for numbers, you really wouldn't like Baseball.

Not making fun. The post just made me smile.


No stoppages. When the clock hits zero it's done.

 

[Jonm1010]

Is that why it looks so boring?

I think it makes it a sport that has a pretty high barrier for entry and enjoyment. So you aren't wrong lol.

Pretty much any other major sport is pretty simple to sit down and understand enough in the first 10 minutes to gain enjoyment. American Football is a little tougher.

what-ages?

 

[Meowster]

Got my tickets for the Cinemark for me and my boyfriend! Will be the first time either of us has seen Star Wars together in the theater.. and we are both huge fans! Memories to be made!

 

[ReadingRambo]

Quickly becoming an amazing thread.

 

[cyba89]

Haha, right? I get it, it is complicated, but I didn't know GAF was that Footballphobic.

I'm from Germany. I only know soccer and Quidditch.

Huh? Half time is when the second quarter ends

 

[OricWindstar]

Sometimes the clock stops. Sometimes it doesn't. Depends really.

Haha, I was trying to simplify it, but yeah, the clock is sporadic.

 

[shoplifter]

Jesus. More commercials than game. Let's go!

welcome to american football. yes, it sucks.

Forever.

[RPGCrazied]

Wow, ESPN loves its commercials.

Impossible.

[the_sun_king]

Clock said 7:36 left in the second quarter, buuuuuuuuuut this being the NFL...

 

[half a moon]

Can someone give me an approximate countdown?

If say half time is in 25-30 min.

IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE A STREAM SHOWING ESPN THAT HAS COMMERCIALS, I WILL PM IT TO YOU, PM ME FIRST AS POSTING IT HERE ISN'T KOSHER.

 

[BlastProcessing]

I need this too!

30 minutes or so I suppose.

 

[kyser73]

Think of NFL & Baseball as being like rugby & cricket played as rounders, only less interesting. to all the

TBF tho, cricket can be as stat driven as baseball and just as confusing.

 

[Jonm1010]

Depends is the best answer anyone can realistically give you. Could be 20 minutes, could be 60 minutes. Wouldn't be unheard of if it was longer.

 

[nictron]

Anyone gonna stream this for the people who don't have cable? Or are we expecting HD Yourtube immediately after?

[distantmantra]

It's football. It's not possible. But, I'd say 7pm PST.

 

[MiamiWesker]

This game is taking forever. I find it kind of funny that the whole world is waiting on a random MNF game to reach halftime.

 

[Tubobutts]

Can someone give me an approximate countdown?

There's seven and a half minutes left on the clock so like 20+ minutes.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

what-ages?

stoppage

noun
plural noun: stoppages
1.
an instance of movement, activity, or supply stopping or being stopped.

Not making fun. The post just made me smile.

I see. What I meant by stoppages was those instances where the clock might stop and also ads. This is all very confusing to me.

 

[greatgeek]

Is there someplace online I can watch this live?

 

[RobbieNick]

This has to be the world record for the most nerds watching a football game.

Man! The way those indoor stadiums are lit up, you can't tell daytime from night. There's barely a shadow on the field.

 

[A.D. Skinner]

I hope you are right, I hope we see Luke kicking some Sith ass in the trailer.

OK, time to reel it in.

This is literally not going to happen, trailer or movie.

I'm confused about this game why do the guys in white keep throwing it to the guys in black?

This - I don't have cable anymore.

Xfinity app shit the bed for ESPN

 

[Frozenprince]

Neither team runs the ball. I'd say 35.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Are Star Wars fans nerds?

Am I a nerd?
