Day 169: If I Ruled Lichtenstein... 5:42 would mean 5:42

Contrary to what some may believe, I actually do like watching sports. I used to go to all my high school football games, remember watching Michael Jordan and the Bulls play all seven games of the NBA finals one year, and have grown up rooting for the University of Michigan football team.

What has always frustrated me, however, is just how long the games are past how long they're supposed to be. Football games are supposed to be 60 minutes long. And yet they end up being more than three hours long with commercials, timeouts, halftime, huddles, etc.

Therefore, when I see that the clock reads 5:42 in a football game, I know that I have about an hour before the game is over, give or take 45 minutes. This is annoying. If I ruled Lichtenstein, we'd set the clock and let it run down to zero. That way everyone would know exactly how much time is left for the Wolverines to eat the Buckeyes.
