NFL MATCHUPS HAVE A WHOLE LOTTA STANDIN’ GOIN’ ON: $10 Million a year to stand around most of the game. No, we don’t mean your average baseball player - we’re talkin’ football:

DEADSPIN via THE PENS BLOG gets up off their lazy butts to tell us how much action really occurs during your typical NFL game.

After using Sunday’s Steelers-49ers clash for their study, it was determined that out of 60 minutes of game clock, only 13 minutes included actual game play.

The rest of the time is spent watching ads for the new iPod Nano, featuring that “1-2-3-4″ song and video so small you can’t even see who or what’s playing, so what the point of buying it?

But we digress. With all this leisure time, it doesn’t seem to be so tough playing football, after all. (Except for the concussions, broken bones, twisted ankles, blown-out knees, ruptured discs, etc.)
