The NFL wants the word out, understandably, and Schefter is helping them. I don't think it serves Adam well to go so over-the-top with the info. Comes across as a PR arm.
Some added clarity: NFL RedZone is seven hours — 420 minutes. Over that time, viewers will be served 1-2 total minutes of ads in :15 increments. This comes out to anywhere between 0.25% - 0.5% of the total time, considerably less than other sports/entertainment programs.
