Your site is the second one I've seen using the JetBrains Mono typeface -really easy on the eyes, even when set light grey #eff1f5 on a very dark #07080d background.
Very cool, very creative. I found myself hitting refresh multiple times on the index page to see the random ascii art headlines. Finding the hidden menu in the corner leads you down a rabbit hole of fascinating experiments.
Apparently less than 15-minutes of athletic action in a typical 3-hour game, with ~45-minutes devoted to advertising:

This explains why NFL RedZone exists.
Fun comparison, a typical Formula 1 Grand Prix clocks in at ~1.5 hours. Live race broadcasts (e.g. Sky Sports F1) will typically show the entire race with no commercial breaks or interruptions. Same goes for MotoGP (e.g. TNT Sports), where a sprint race (~10-12 laps) takes just 25 minutes, not including post race podium and interviews.
English Premier League game durations come in at just under 2-hours with a full hour of athletic action, the remaining 50% occupied by a 15-minutes halftime, substitutions, free kicks, and a mere 10-minutes of commercial interruptions.

Where previous entertainment technologies like cinema or television were intended to capture their audience’s attention for a period, the smartphone demands your entire life. Phones are designed to be hyper-addictive, hooking users on a diet of pointless notifications, inane short-form videos and social media rage bait."
> "The average person now spends seven hours a day staring at a screen. For Gen Z the figure is nine hours. A recent article in The Times found that on average modern students are destined to spend 25 years of their waking lives scrolling on screens."
