Why does the NFL still give some teams an extra week of training camp?
 

Because of the HOF game?

That's a really stupid reason, as is having the teams in the HOF game play an entire extra preseason game. Make the HOF game a singular preseason game on its own night to start the preseason schedule, then get the rest of the teams done over the Fri-Sat-Sun. Hell, or cram them all in on Sat-Sun. Or just Sunday. Doesn't really matter. Just have the same number of training camp practices and the same number of practice hours for all teams.

Does that extra week of practice really matter to the fate of an NFL team? No, you're not going to go from being bad to being good with a handful of extra practices, but that's not the point. The ****ing HOF Game is too silly of a reason to not provide each team with equal offseason practice hours, especially since a tiny logistical schedule switch would be all that is required to make it happen.

Money. Wonder if the HOF game has a different ad rate.

So you don't think it's fair that two teams get an extra week of practice...which doesn't actually make any difference to either team?

Hello

If it doesn't make a difference, why care?

Hello!

It makes SOME difference. It’s tiny, but those two HOF teams have something the rest of the league does not.

Why do that?

It sure does, wears them the **** out.

Hi. Why aren't you responding to my texts?

Hey yu

Olleh

The games has been played nearly every year since 1962, are there any relevant analytics?

Why is the HOF game a thing? It's the worst of the worst pre season games. They should make a HOF game like the first thursday night game between two original teams.

To give you something to bitch about before the games start.
