Actually it won't. The NFL is prohibited from playing Friday games while during the high school football season. That's why the rare Friday NFL game is in late December, like the Saints game on Christmas in 2020.

Extraordinary times and Mo' money will change those traditional prohibitions...

You won't see the backup linebacker who plays special teams complaining about the extra games. And there's a lot more of them in the league than superstar QBs, RBs, CBs, and WRs.

No sir, that is very short sighted for any player that is enjoying the fruits of collective bargaining but then ******* when he has to play a single additional game is a moron in my book.

When you join a union there is no different faction, it is called a union for a reason. The CBA is one deal that marries higher wages and potentially more games. Players don't get to cash a bigger check then cry about 60 more minutes of work and if you buy that crap I have a snow skiing resort for sale in Hawaii.

How about 18... anybody for 18 games?

Didn't the USFL have an 18 game schedule?

That's shortsighted. You can have a disagreement about an issue when there's only one person involved. You really believe that a union with over 2000 people are going to be 100% in agreement over this issue?

There are people who did not want the 17th game. The issue was voted upon. They lost that vote. You really believe because the majority voted for an issue that the dissenters lost their right to complain about it?

Well, however much it is it isn't enough money for me to sit with Godhell for an hour or more.

The more money the league makes the more money the players get its that simple. The cap increases and so will the salaries so they should chill.

However, I am not for 17 games. I rather go 18 and have an extra bye week.

The bench mark of .500 is a standard that has been set. Below .500 gets people fired. 17 games takes that away. Also records be damned. You might as well throw all the records out. They will mean nothing going forward.

I just don't buy into this change the league for the sake of change.

What is great about the NFL is that the demand for it is high so it makes the games more important each and every week. So not the supply will eventually over take the demand and then what...

We all know that this is change for the sake of money. The league and its owners see this as a cash grab what they will have to share with the rank and file.
