100% yes. I would not be surprised if former coaches had their agents leak that once in a while so the networks cough up more money to keep them. Million % chance Bill Cowher has done it.
I hate the pace of play rules. Does the pitch clock and other changes really same thst much time? Are there statistics on this?
Will the casual fan be more inclined to see a 2hr 25m game instead of a 2hr 40m game?
Will people ignore the length of a game if there are more homeruns?
