Um I think you might not have been watching football man. Idk what you mean by it takes them 15 minutes to line up in the middle of the field, that never happens, they never line up in the middle of the field for any reason. They don't run at each other, they try and get by each other, not to mention there is a such thing as a "pass" play, where they don't run the ball, they throw it to a "wide reciever". There is no five minute break, the "No-huddle offense" is very popular these days where as soon as the ball is spotted the team hikes the ball immediatly to catch the defense off-guard. Their are no 15 minute breaks, there is a half-time, but I think almost every sport has a half-time. Like I said though man, I don't think it was football you were watching. I understand where Yoda is coming from. Want a real game "Football"? Watch Rugby.
