Therefore you could record the superbowl on your Tivo, turn up about 3+ hours after it started, sit down, watch the whole game in 30 minutes (plus replay the plays you liked), and still be able to talk knowingly about the game to all your colleagues, co-workers etc the next day, and still be 3+ hours ahead.

Actually (and I hate to admit this), last year's superbowl was sooo uninteresting towards the end, we were *gasp* fast forwarding through the game and watching the commercials!
