Sportsguy9695 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 By floating the idea of an 18-game schedule, the NFL has added another negotiating point to the stalled labor talks. Chicago GM Jerry Angelo says one of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's main objectives in expanding the regular-season format is to ensure all 32 teams play one game overseas each season. As usual, following the money seems like a good way to analyze the proposal. More regular-season games mean more TV revenues in the pockets of NFL owners who claim their profits aren't what they used to be. Many players will balk - until they become convinced those enhanced revenue streams will trickle their way. "I like what we've got right now, but going to 18 games wouldn't hurt, either," Titans defensive tackle Jovan Haye said to the Nashville Tennessean. "The preseason is necessary, but after those first two games, you're like, 'Wow, let's get the regular season going.' I'd prefer 18, not just because of the money but because it lets you get to football quicker." Source: Tampa Tribune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
