NFL season might go 18 games

I don't know if people consider it a drawback, but it could extend the Super Bowl to mid-February.

NASCAR doesn't like that because it interferes with the Daytona 500.

These days preseason games are nothing.

They are like a fart in church.

It's just like college bowl games that are not part of the playoffs. I went to a bowl game last season that was a total disaster because none of the top-notch players wanted to risk injury.

What looked like a great matchup on paper last bowl season (Georgia - Florida State) wound up with the Bulldogs essentially beating the Seminoles JV team with all the players opting out.

Yep, they were archaic relics from another time.

Now, the expanded playoffs will make them largely unnoticed.. thankfully

FSU was getting blown out regardless

They would have kicked Georgia's ass.

Huh? WTF is Harrison?

Marvin.

Marvin.

I was talking about the vast majority of players eligible for the draft did not even bother showing up. He may have been one, but I am not a fan!

I thought it was 18 now. I guess it's 17. Wondering when the NFL will peak in popularity. This stuff is often cyclical.
