It's looking like the NFL may be one step closer to making an eighteen game regular season a reality. TSN is reporting that owners have been discussing the idea but don't want to make a final decision until they decide on the new labor agreement between the league and the NFLPA.
ATLANTA -- Commissioner Roger Goodell says owners see two more regular-season games -- and two fewer pre-season games -- as the most logical way to enhance revenues in a difficult economic environment. He says it will be one of the main issues in talks on reaching a new collective bargaining agreement.
The current deal runs out after this season. Players are eager to see how much of the additional revenue they will receive with an expanded schedule, especially since it could increase the risk of injuries or health problems after they retire.
Football fans, how do you feel about this?
