Shoe Carnival will resume normal hours on December 26 to kick off their after Christmas and New Years sales. Shoe Carnival will also close early on Christmas Eve, December 24 at most locations. Stores may be open limited hours on New Years Eve and/or New Years Day.
What I find interesting is that baseball seems to have a pace of game problem because everyone says that it does. The average game lasts 3 hours, but then the average NFL game lasts 3 hours (they usually schedule two blocks of games on Sundays, three hours apart). They huddle in the NFL between plays to talk it over.
Sporting Charts explains Time of Possession. In a non-overtime game there are 60 minutes of game play. Since one of the two teams will always have possession of the ball at any given time the 60 minutes splits up among the two teams. If team A has possession of the ball for 25 minutes of the game it is a given that the time of possession for team B will be 35 minutes. Time of possession is important since a team's win-loss correlates to the amount of time they have the ball.
