No question, you are correct. Ratings indeed tell the story. Not long ago (5 or 6 years) I could do 3 football games, and a dozen Bud Lights on a Sunday...but got into my 40's, and now, after the 4PM games, it's 60 Minutes, some Sunday night TV, and by 10PM...see ya!!!
I guess back in the late 70's, 80's etc, time never mattered at all. But as I got older, I found it a perfect Sat or Sun come playoff time, to get up at 6:30/7, grab the paper, go out to breakfast with the boys, chew the fat, and then BAM, 12:30 game time. I loved that. What gambler does not love the NFL playoffs?
Now, the only 12 hour straight sports days I can do, and just refuse to give up on, are the opening Thurs/ Fri on the NCAA Hoop Tourney. 12PM to 12AM those days, no problem. Although, time will tell.
