I have no problem with that at all. What ever they need to do to help prevent a lockout. It will make it a little harder for some of the URFA to have a shot at making the team though.

I was watching NFL Live today and Clayton (A.k.a. Baby in a suit) was talking about a cease fire compromise contract that the NFL sent to the PA that included an 18 game season. Minus 2 exhibition games of course. What would you guys think about this?

My guess is it will probably happen.

No.No.No.No.No.

I don't know why Roger Goodell keeps doing crap like this.

This isn't what the players want, and it's not what the majority of most fans want.

By fans, I mean the ones who truely follow and understand the game BTW.

This is simply a financial move, and it makes me sick, because of how little concern it shows for the players.

I would support it, but this is a very good point. Decade old records would be broken left and right.

Its true, just as now they say things like "this is the best record, since the merger" they will start saying how the records now are since the season expanded, to separate itself from the past. Still will suck, but i would welcome more games.

And btw, Inception is an awesome movie

Not quite.

The NFL had a 14 game season after the merger.

That's why so many rushing records are being broken.

I too heard this on NFL Live. Personally, though two extra weeks to watch Carolina sounds like a blessing, Chris Carter brought up the point that years down to road when players are in their 40s and 50s, two extra games a week would be severely felt in their future. 16 seems like almost a eternity considering the beating each man takes. If this were to be implemented, roster sizes should increase.

I think I'd rather watch my favorite players play for a longer career than a couple of games that could be meaningless depending on a teams record for playoff implications. Also, 2 more weeks only means more money for players, or certainly the athletes are going to push for an increase in minimum salary.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
