As a football fan, the quantity of commercials is something else. CBS is particularly bad. You'll often see a touchdown, PAT, commercial break, cut back to the kickoff with the ball in mid-air which results in a touchback (so like 5 seconds worth of "content" which is really just a ball flying through the air and a guy catching it and kneeling down) followed by another round of commercials. It's insane.
When I get particularly frustrated with it, I pause the game and go do something else for a good 15-20 minutes, then come back so I can at least fast forward through some of them.
