Why don't they make these shows an hour long, at least for the big dogs like Luck and Griffin? With 5 hours of tape I'm sure they can find a good 45 minutes to show.
I had actually figured they were an hour, and when I was coming home to watch Luck's last week, I ended up missing what I thought was the first half hour. When I turned the channel on, Gruden was wrapping it up and the credits were rolling. Boy, I was a bit peeved.

Yeah exactly. They don't put all the X-O stuff in the show, but they make sure to show you that RG3 has Great socks!

I'll ask. But I know that from personal experience we generally tried to have half-hour shows because it was easier to slot in repeats of 30 minute shows in an already tight schedule with all the live programming

The Luck and Griffin ones were just the first two to air. They don't want each of them to feel exactly the same.
"In the case of RG3, he had such a great personality, the stuff he was giving us was compelling," Rothman said. "Each of the shows has its own personality and feel, and I think at the end of the RG3 one, fans got a sense of what the kid was all about. In the body of the storytelling, you get a sense of the kid -- his personality, his smarts, all of that."
With all due respect to Mr.Rothman but if that's what thinks football fans want then they should find a football guy to produce the Gruden series.
We watch specifically to see the X's and O's.
You can make each episode different in other ways but the X's and O's portion is critical and I doubt anyone would complain that 'oh man they always do the X's and O's portion'.
I found the RG3 episode to be entertaining nonetheless.
More X's and O's would have been nice, but the lack of it didn't ruin it for me.
Not everyone tuning in is a hardcore fan.

Not everyone is a diehard but that particular show was supposed to be more of a serious x & o football show. At least I always thought it was anyway. I enjoyed it also just wanted the other stuff to Regardless I guess my beef was not with gruden but with whoever was in charge of producing the show.

The Weeden show was really good I thought.

I thin 30 minutes isn't long enough. I'd like to see the show be pushed to an hour. A lot more tape could be aired that way instead of airing only the finer points.

My dvr recorded Luck's episode the other night, but the soccer game went on for too long and it cut the show to 15 minutes. Still felt like it was 15 minutes of more football related stuff than RG3's show though, even though there was no mention of Spider Y 3 Banana.
