This is why I don't like football

I turn on the TV to watch the Simpsons. Not surprisingly, the football is still going. They start the clock, go for 15 seconds, then stop. Then they start the clock, go for five seconds, then stop. So in five minutes of real time, they've played for 20 seconds.

But that is also what allows football fans to easily watch three or four games at once.

The main reason for the late and surprisingly lame Simpsons episode was because they allowed the Black-Eyed Peas to come onstage at the end of the pre-game show. They didn't even sing "Let's Get It Started," so why were they there? And to make it worse, Will.I.Am took off Charlie Daniels' cowboy hat (which is just not done) and then put it on over his own greasy jheri-curl. Talk about a wardrobe malfunction. I think they used the six-second delay so the TV audience would not see Charlie use his fiddle to beat William to a bloody pulp.
