Sleeper Bowl

[Bxl Boy]

For every one minute of action an NFL game provides for a fan, it inflicts 14 minutes of inaction on him or her as well.
fastball takes just .467 seconds to reach the plate. His stopwatch count? Nine minutes and 55 seconds of actual action. The entire average MLB game today, from first pitch to last out, takes about two hours and 50 minutes; using Wade's count we get a percentage split of six per cent to 94 per cent and an A-to-I Index of one to 16.
It's intuitive to think that Canadian football would be at least as inactive as American, but it isn't. With its 20-second play clock and some stop-time included, the average CFL game contains 160 plays (a third more than in the NFL) for a superior A-to-I Index of one to 10. Hockey, like basketball, a pure stop-time game, is a huge A-to-I bargain — 60 minutes of actual action in a two hour and 25 minute average total game time: an index of one to 1.4. (And that's including Don Cherry.)
But even hockey pales to the runaway A-to-I winner, soccer, which to the undoubted dismay of a lot of North American fans is the only major sport where the action provided (90 minutes) exceeds the inaction inflicted (25 minutes), for an index of one to 0.3.
