Nothing quite turns the 'work' part of the brain off like a live sporting event.

Fast-flowing games work better, soccer is particularly great because it has 2x 45 minutes of solid action. NFL has too many breaks where my brain can start thinking about other things.



Gridiron games edited down to 45 minutes are one of humanity's greatest inventions.

I say this as an Australian.

Gridiron edited down so it's only back to back plays, no ads no stoppages, is the greatest sport on television.


> no ads no stoppages

lol good luck. if anything the amount of ads will only increase.

it's why soccer (futbol) never became a thing in the US -- no channel on the planet is going to air 90 minutes without ads.


Where you get that?


In the US it is available as part of the NFL+ service. A short summary can be seen at https://support.nfl.com/hc/en-us/articles/5403911854236-What...

As an avid American Football fan, I agree; condensed replays are great, especially when you are interested in, but not deeply invested in a particular game (for those, I prefer to watch long-form).


Esports are like that for me, particularly Dota 2.
