Yes, I DVR them but I start watching about an hour/hour and a half in. So by the time the game ends, I'm usually about caught up. Or not. You'll understand once you have kids. Trust me. Both of my kids love football at this point but they can only take it for about 30-45 minutes before they wander off to play.
I don't know how people can stand to sit through the 10 instant replays after each play or the boring as fuck analysis throughout... let alone the commercials. Trust me, give it a try and you'll see I'm right. You just have to avoid looking at your fantasy scores or anything live for a few hours.
