Stupidity. Like starters wouldn't play in 2 preseason games?? This weathered good ol' boy needs to keep his yapper shut.

"As for the financial component, Jones told The Dallas Morning News that adding two more games per team to the regular season would provide "more than $1 billion to the players" — which would amount to an additional income of roughly $589,000 per player on the 53-man roster, per year."
NFL owners. Always worrying about player safety and how much money players make.

NO MORE GAMES.
The players can't even survive a season now before they get to the SB.
Besides, I think it is stupid to play basketball and hockey championships in June. We would end up with the SB in March if they had their way. The regular season games end up meaning nothing.

Why would we end up in March? The proposal was to replace two preseason games with two regular season games.

Probably inevitable. If the owners decide viewership reaches a downward turn to a declining state, some of them will want to milk the product before it dries up. Some players will hear that billion-dollar bump in the salary cap and ignore their long-term health.

I thought they should have reduced pre-season before. I'm not sure about adding more regular season games. I think if they do they need to expand rosters and allow more then 45 to dress. Otherwise the playoffs might be disasters. Playing some 2nd and 3rd strings because of injuries and just plain exhaustion. Not that watching a couple more real games per year would bother me. I've watched nearly every wasted minute of pre-season this year. So that tells you if the Vikes are playing I'm watching. Meaningful or not.

The owners are ruining this league. Fuck Jerry Jones.

Joe Thomas was on ESPN Radio this morning...He advocated no more games, but add another bye week to the season and add two more teams to the playoff's. This increases fan participation the last part of the season as more teams have something to play for.

I thought it was a damn good idea.

I think they should eliminate one preseason game and add a second bye week. Teams should have a bye before they have to play on a Thursday. Presently the quality of football on Thursdays, especially late in the season, is really poor. Away teams have a severe disadvantage.

Also, I don't agree with adding more teams to the playoffs. Rather than adding more games, how about improving the quality of the games. Having more rested players will be better for players' careers and long-term health.

Jones assumes there will be more revenue because he assumes the NFL can add two games per year and fan interest would remain the same. That's wrong. If the quality of the product is diminished, people will stop watching.
