yeah, but where does it stop? Next time they cant control salaries, are they just going to go, "hey baseball has 162 games." lets do that.

Its just not worth it to me, if knocks 3 years off Drew's career. Eventually, your most important player on the team will be the 3rd string QB. Do you really want this?

I love going to Saints games, but Im pretty much to the top of my budget already.... I'd love to eat mexican food and drink whiskey every day too, but at some point, I have to cut myself off. at least from one of those things.

Love ya mans.

Dude...they've been playing 20 the whole time...just more count now. To my knowledge, they haven't changed the amount of games they've been playing for a long time.

I don't buy into the knocking 3 years off Drew's career...it's kinda like just throwing something out there...like my wife does all the time. What proof do you have of this?

...and as far as the price goes, how can you complain? You are the one that allows it to happen. You...me...and everyone else. If you want the salaries and the madness to stop, start watching TVLand on Sunday.

no, they play 16 games, and have 4 practice games, which the starters only play a few series, then go sit down while we evaluate the camp players & backups.

do I have to prove that playing 2 full extra regular season games adds to wear and tear? Use the Force, Luke, and feel the answer within you.

It's still 20 games no matter how you slice it...they've never tried to change that number, as you suggested.

,,,and, yes...if you are going to contend that playing 2 more games a year is going to cut down on a players career by 3 years, then I'm going to need some proof of that.

I can say, for example, that playing 2 more games a year is going to be good for them physically because they will be getting more exercise and therefore be more fit...however, I would be just throwing something out there to fit my argument.
