   When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s, watching "Siskel & Ebert" on   
   Sunday mornings was always an iffy idea, because the UW Huskies played   
   football on Sunday mornings, so everything after the start of the game   
   was "time approximate after football".   
      
   The coach's half-hour wrapup, of course, was never cut, no matter how   
   long the game took.   
      
   This is just one reason I don't like organized sports.
