Roger Goodell is a Dope

[Historian]

Us old timers can remember the day when there were SIX preseason games. (That you had to still pay full price for that didn't count!)



I think it would probably be a good move.

What I would do is start the preseason with a controlled scrimmage, as opposed to a first game. (televise it locally)

Let the last place finishers play in the HOF game, and the international crap. (They need the extra work anyways)

Then play one full preseason game.

Then play 18 rsg's.

I used to like opening at home on Labor Day weekend.

Go to a game....cook out...tailgate...party...stay until dark.

Then you have all of Monday to sleep in and unload the car.

And they should re-rank the playoff so that the best 14 teams get in regardless of Conference.

Would love to see the Bills beat Miami in the Super Bowl.

I can't go that far...I'm too much of a traditionalist to give up the conference set-up.

That's when training camp was actually used to get back into shape.

I agree. After the 13 year AFC Super Bowl drought from 85-97 it became coded into my DNA to hate the NFC (Chief exception of course) and want to defeat them.

That's when football was a part time job.
