More than an hour of commercials. This is absurd. I know they need the revenue to pay their bills,etc,but geez louise,enough is enough. Most of these commercials,while some are funny and creative,others are silly . I think the broadcasters are paying attention though. I thought I read that a race on TNT this summer,I think a Busch race but I'm not sure,would be commercial-free. I can live with some commercials,just don't show so many. Just had to let off some steam.

I wonder if ESPN will do the side by side thing with commercials like they do with the IRL.
