    Pre-season changes?

    The NFL preseason is not going away anytime soon but changes are on the way
    With mounting injuries and partially filled stadiums, more joint practices and less games could happen
    by Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora 43m ago

    "What had long been a steady simmer within the highest reaches of the NFL headquarters about the state of preseason football has become more of a crackling fire.

    Something is going to change, and likely sooner rather than later.

    Being in New York City for the past few days -- the league's hub -- there were no shortage of well-connected football people whispering (if not outright roaring) about the number of preseason games, how long the poor product and the preponderance of injuries have irritated commissioner Roger Goodell, and about the climate being ripe to actually do something about it."...

    I think I finally agree. Replace the two preseason games with controlled scrimmages.

    CFL is 2 preseason and 18 regular.Shorter practices.
    Political correctness ( or cancel culture as it is called today) is a doctrine fostered by a delusional ,illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by MSM which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    Two preseason games.

    Before game 1, HC names his starting 22. They don't even dress, they work with the coaches.

    Let the scrubs battle it out for the remaining 31 spots.

    Ever seat, every game, every city, is 25 bucks.

    End of misery for players and fans alike.
