	i liked this. i said, "gameplay" for playing time. im not sure if you want to accept that too

	Gameplay is good; I wanted to avoid just "game" though since I am asking what the components of a game are.

	It has nothing to do with the actual quiz, but more to WSJ's analysis. I don't see where all the graphics, in-game statistics/standings and all that they overlay comes into play in this list. I'm pretty sure they didn't use Fox NFL, because I see way more than .5% of seeing Joe Buck standing around kissing Troy Aikman's butt each week.

	'Standing around' is kind of an idiotic way of putting it. There are 40 seconds maximum between plays, during which plays are being called in and relayed to the rest of the team. It's not like baseball, where you could legitimately add things like spitting, scratching, adjusting, stepping out of the batter's box, stepping off the mound, etc. where time really is being wasted.
