NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell Still Has 18-Game Schedule In Sights

One of items brought to the negotiating table by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell during the lockout negotiations last offseason was the implementation of a new 18-game, regular-season schedule. Goodell hasn't give up on the idea of adding two more games to the schedule, though he said last week any changes are still a couple of seasons away. "Well I appreciate the enthusiasm for it and I hear it from the fans consistently," Goodell said during an interview WEPN-AM in New York, via SportsRadioInterviews.com. "People want more football. I think they want less preseason and more regular season and that's the concept we are talking about here. We wouldn't add an extra two games without reducing the preseason, and we are not going to do it without the players support, so we did that in the collective bargaining agreement instead of having the unilateral right, which we had. We determined that we were going to do this together. We are going to make changes in the offseason and during the preseason and during the regular season to make the game safer. If we can accomplish that, we’ll look at the idea of restructuring the season and taking two preseason games away and the potential of adding regular season games. But I don't think that will happen until at least 2013 or 14."

Fuck off Roger. The extended season is part of why the Patriots lost the big game this year.

It's going to happen, because the players union is too weak to fight it.

The Patriots lost the big game this year because they played worse than the Giants. Let it go man.

The Patriots lost because their defense is shit, and they were not the best team. I want an extended season.

i care less about the 18-game regular season than the expansion of the # of playoff teams from 12 to 16.

Half of the teams making the playoffs is a HORRENDOUS idea. People already get pissed off when an 8-8 team makes the playoffs. We would have a ton of them with this expansion. This is a horrible idea.
