Do you play in a weekly NFL pool, where your picks are added up throughout the season? If you do, have you ever thought to yourself, I wish the season was a couple of weeks longer, that way I might make the winner's circle?
Well, it's possible you may get that wish. The league is looking at extending the regular season by two games. It would cut the preseason by two games, and add those weekends to the regular schedule.
Please do so. Is there anything more boring, and uninspiring than watching preseason NFL games? There is nothing at stake, zero tension, and the starters don't even play the full game. The CFL did the same thing several seasons ago, going to an 18-game schedule, and with positive results.
Eighteen games in the NFL season would greatly add to the league's overall revenue base. And, it would do away with those mind-numbing, meaningless games that the networks have opted to televise the last few years. Besides that, it will make everyone's pool-playing much more interesting.
