I love the extended season. My only complaint is that they didn't build in a second bye week.

I think that'll happen too, 18 games also makes expansion easier..

I think the end game is:
18 games
2 byes
40 teams
Expanded playoffs

This could easily expand the season 4-6 weeks with more teams, more games, more playoffs the league revenue goes way up.

Shoot me now.

They did give up less, but did they get the better product? When I meant cheaper, I meant salary wise.

40 teams?

The NFL already has to wade through all those shitty players every offseason. Now we're going to further dilute the talent we have out there by throwing on a few more Nick Keizers to even the good teams? And if your team is terrible, it's going to be REALLY terrible if some of these training camp clods are now a part of your 53.

**** more teams. They need to expand roster sizes.

I watched a bit of The Spring League late last night on FS1.

I don’t know who I feel more sorry for: The players, the coaches or the viewers.

The players have to PAY $2,100 dollars to get a tryout. They’re not paid for their play and must provide their own health insurance. The league covers their room and board once on the team and that’s it.

The world does not need more NFL teams or leagues.

Getting rid of NFL Europe was a bad idea, IMO.

Bingo. They need to make sure teams have every opportunity to avoid situations like the Chiefs in the SB.

I hate their rules about IR returns. Every single player should be able to return to help their team if they are able.

Imagine the Chiefs first round pick being the 40th pick of the draft.

That's horrible. Who the **** is watching THAT?

Exactly this.

On the plus side, finishing 13-3 is no longer possible. LOL

When the UFL (United Football League) started like 10 years ago (and ended almost immediately) they had like 5 teams, brought in some has beens like Jeff Garcia (the Omaha Nighthawks quarterback) but there were some young guys that were trying to make NFL rosters.

The problem was, they played in the fall, so they competed against HS, College and the NFL. Idiots. I think if they would have partnered with the NFL, they could have had a Spring Football "feeder league" like NFL Europe and we could have had football year around. Get some smaller markets like Omaha, Savannah, Tucson, whatever, and get together like 12 teams for NFL teams to send players to, and cut their teeth that way. I dunno, I think it could work.

Remember- that Haglund's shit started with a Hobo Achilles tear.

Has Fish grown a beard? Does he look like a hippie?
