This press conference lasted 12 minutes. I focused once.

..... as the player answered questions around the room looking in one direction then another, all you have to do is recompose and snap pictures.

Player? . Hmmmmm.

I suspect that you are not as much of a football fan as you are a basketball fan. . That is Mike Tomlin, the head coach of the Steelers - probably one of the most recognizable faces in today's NFL. . I would've thought that everyone would know who he was, football fans and non-fans alike.

.

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

I am a football fan, just not all the teams and coaches. Only so many hours in the day to cover sports, and quite frankly, I follow less and less of the NFL activities ever since players decided to use the field for their political agendas vs entertaining me with their physical prowess, and that prices have skyrocketed so high, I can no longer take my family of 4 to a game and get a decent set of seats near the action.

I can definitely see the use in the focus/recompose use of BBF. I have yet to try it for sports.

I had no idea who the gentleman is. So, I guess, everyone minus one.

I bet more people know what Prime Day is than who was in the picture.

I am sure everyone knows this player.

Oh, yeah - of course! . I know him, even though I absolutely hate basketball and have never watched a single game in my life, on TV or otherwise.

Sports personalities have a way of being well known in mainstream society, even among those who never watch sports.

Didn't know the first one and don't know this one. Not a sports fan. What's Prime Day?

See how BBF helps in Bird photography?

Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

I honestly cannot think of any other situation where a button has a halfpress and a fullpress setting where the halfpress does something completely different than the fullpress, but to add insult to injury, when you do a fullpress, the halfpress action still executes...

Every car with an automatic gear box has it. Press the throttle to the intermediate stop, and you have full gas. Press beyond the intermediate stop, and you have a downshift too.

Pull the turn indicator stalk to intermediate stop to flash your headlamps. Pull further, beyond the stop, to engage the high beam constantly.
The two things in the last example are more related, though.
