A 17th Game?

Goodell and the owners continue to discuss the possibility of adding a 17th regular season game and perhaps shortening the preseason by a game. Goodell said the possibility is "on the table," but the league is not yet ready to present a proposal to the players' union, which would have to approve such a change.

"We are not satisfied with the quality of the preseason right now," Goodell said. "We'd like to improve on that."

Goodell said that the additional home game could alternate annually by conference, meaning AFC teams could get nine home games each one season and NFC clubs could get nine apiece the next. . . .

yes, yes, yes! we all know that the preseason carries the same injury risk for players anyway, so shorten it by two games at least. and do us a favor and start the season BEFORE labor day.
Imagine the ratings spike! labor day bbq's and the NFL? Hell Yeah!
