I gotta be honest. This decision-making time lag is irking the fool out of me.
People record their favorite team's game. They can fast-forward and rewind past commercials and timeouts, cutting the actual length of the real game to a much shorter length.
People also use email and cellphones.
The League publishes its game summaries within an hour after they finish. Summaries include the entire play-by-play, INCLUDING every penalty and exactly when every penalty is called and who the penalty was called on.
The League has instantaneous access to all video of every game. They can fast-forward and rewind to exact moments of every penalty THAT REQUIRES DISCIPLINARY ACTION ONLY.
Despite this technological advantage and convenience, the League cannot review 16 games for required disciplinary follow-up, contact offenders, make judgments, and issue fines for nearly a week.
These people process info slower than Dean Blandino on horse tranquilizer.
