(I have no idea how one would define "modern era" but the disclaimer seemed useful somehow.)
Does anybody track game times these days? That BAL-PIT game seems to be about to end in two hours and 40 minutes; wonder how many gives (if any) have been shorter than that the past few seasons. Think of it this way: Were this a Monday night game, it'd be over before midnight Eastern time.
What have gametimes been for those Monday nighters lately? Seems like 4-hours plus has been common, unless I'm thinking of Red Sox baseball playoff games. Actually I am, but also thinking of Monday night games.
Does anyone complain about the Monday night football games running so late? To hear baseball naysayers, you'd think those late games were the end of the world, yet I never hear it for/about football. All in the marketing...
Late '80s or early '90s there was a Broncos-Chiefs game that ran 3:49 despite not going to overtime.
