This is not true. The commercial breaks in all US pro sports have a pre-determined length, and the game action will not resume until the broadcast has rejoined (outside of a mistake somewhere along the line). In the NFL, they have a countdown timer on the stadium scoreboard indicating how much time is left in the commercial break, and even a dedicated guy who stands on the field next to a referee, talking to the TV truck to confirm when the broadcast has rejoined.
