If you're invested in the game - either because it's your team or affects your team, or because you have money on it I assume (I don't bet on football), the extra time between plays, the replays, all of it does add to the drama and occasion of a game, so it's not like it's boring in that circumstance. But when there's a whole morning window of games between teams you have no particular reason to care about, just watching what are essentially live highlights is way more entertaining. And the way it's produced is just outstanding, Scott Hanson has it completely dialed to a point where he can effectively commentate three plays going on simultaneously when they go triple box.
