So how many of the 389 NFL hours will you watch this season? -- (edited)

Posted by JD (aka Jason Dean) Sep 5 '24, 14:55

Looking at this season’s schedule and making some assumptions (like that the average game lasts 3 hours and 15 minutes and you’re watching one game on television or device at a time), I’m estimating that you can watch 389 hours of football during the entire 2024 season. That represents a big jump from the 2019 season, when the total was 331 hours. That’s more than two full days of extra football to watch compared to five years ago. A decade ago you could max out at 328 hours, and a decade before that there was a paltry 283 hours of football to watch. Yeah, we’re up more than 100 hours of live football in 20 years. And again, I’m not counting any overlap. If you have Sunday Ticket or RedZone and you’re watching multiple games at once on a Sunday afternoon—something fewer people were doing decades ago—that still counts as only one window of football.

I'm kind of happy that there's an international break this week so I get like a transition time before I start the 430 or 700 AM Premier League (futbol) watching and then shifting to the 900 AM (Premier League) and 10 AM (NFL) overlap and then ending with the end of Sunday Night game for like a 12 or 14 hour day of watching 'football'

A Packers game in November when I visit my mom; possibly the Turkey Day games. -- nm - mara Sep 5, 16:07
Just the six minutes of actual gameplay. -- nm - mafic Sep 5, 15:45
I'll watch clips and highlights, but that's about it. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 5, 15:33
On purpose, zero. It may reach 5 minutes by accident. The NFL ceased to be something I consume many years ago. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 5, 15:25
I was planning on watching tonight's game, and then remembered I wanted to drop by the Gem's box office around 7:30. Guess I can - Meg Sep 5, 15:05 1

I really only watch the Jets and only until around Halloween as that's when they're usually out of contention. :-) -- nm - Krusty Sep 5, 14:59 2
- Insert Bears. (I do watch some others but I don't waist time on a crappy match up) -- nm - Last Of My Kind Sep 5, 15:23 1
  - I'll watch a little on the holidays but otherwise I don't usually watch teams I have no rooting interest in. -- nm - Krusty Sep 5, 15:52
Only what might be on TVs if we're out somewhere. But zero in my house. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Sep 5, 14:57
ideally none but prolly a few complete games by the playoffs -- nm - mr mooch Sep 5, 14:57
