They need to think about earning that extra 12% a year when your line of work and income is limited by age.


I will almost always side with the players when it comes to a dispute. The owners are some snake in the grass bastards.

Even that, I still wouldn't want to play 18 games at all. It's a long season and adding two more games will more likely increase the odds of injuries, especially if the owners still keep it as the 53 man roster and still trotting out 4 pre-season games.

Plus, I want the NFL to get rid of the Thursday games. The quality of the game on Thursdays is very bad, considering a team just played on Sunday and have a 3 day turn-around. (This is unlikely to happen because they make money off of it anyways, but still...)

There's plenty more that I would go on, but these two would be a start.
