what do you guys think of this? I guess more football is a good thing, but it seems like every year injuries get worse, 18 games would force the league to expand rosters, in turn the "good" teams will have more of the good players because the players will want to be a part of the contending teams.
they will have to increase the cap so do you stack ur team with great players and hope that no one gets hurt or do you spend money on good backups assuming someone will get injured??
hmm, sounds like an fantasy football auction draft perdicament!
im not a fan of it. injuries effect the nfl playoffs so much so adding 2 games is only going to hurt it. idk i like the current set-up, plus its going to ruin all the current day singlse season records and all time cuz players get 2 extra games and 4 compared to the older days. i probably wont b complaining when theres 2 extra weeks of football to watch but this is just a $ move for the owners, they dont give a **** about nething else
smoke a little yeaa hes a cancer and a traitor and a piece of **** n needs to die. consistently an *******, not a good teammate and a rapist (allegedy) and he'll b loved half way through the 1st qb he plays in. must b a white vs black thing haha
While I do agree that the season itself doesn't need to be extended, I do think that they need to cut the amount of preseason games. Wayyy to many injuries occur in games that make no difference whatsoever.

Us as fans all agree preseason suck, but you cant cut the games down, coaches and players need as many of these games as possible. There are too many players on their roster that need to get reps, and you can't do that if there are less games.
And with the regular season, don't extend it! The beauty of the NFL is that EVERY week matters.
KEEP THE PRESEASON AND REGULAR SEASON ALONE!

thats what kearns and i were saying last night. the reason basketball sucks is cause there are a 100 games a year. baseball sucks because there are 200 games a year. football is the best because its so little of it that every play matters and every week leaves you wanting more...
college football isnt going to stop just because theyre is a lock out in the NFL. seniors are still going to lose eligability so they want to go to the pros. Will they hold a draft this year and nexy year with this years worse team picking first both times? Or, will there be a replacement league where NCAA players can go into for next year THEN be eligable for the draft the following year. That leaves twice the amount of college players as a normal draft year so does every team get 2 picks? If not there are going to be a ****load of good rookie free agents.
It just doenst make sense for anyone to have a lockout. were talking about billions of dollars lost if football isnt played next year. i feel like the government would get involved before it let, literally, one of the biggest revenuing companies in America go under for even one year. I still dont think a lockout happens, but if it does it will mess up alot more than just entertainment on sundays.
If there is a lockout next season, how will the 2012 draft order be determined? Same as 2011? If so, do you believe some teams will lie down at end of this season so secure 2 top picks? Rob F.
That's a great question and, hopefully, one that never will have to be answered. If the entire 2011 season is wiped out due to a lockout, the NFL and the NFLPA will have to decide on an appropriate procedure for selecting the new crop of rookies in 2012. Our buddy Joe Yerdon of ProHockeyTalk.com tells us that, after a lockout wiped out an entire NHL season during the last decade, the order of the next hockey draft arose from a random draw with weighted measures based on factors such as won-loss record over three seasons and the number of high picks in that same window.
Either way, I doubt that a team would be more inclined to tank late in the 2010 based on the remote possibility that: (1) an entire season would be wiped out via a lockout; and (2) the same draft order would be used in two straight seasons. That said, with everyone assuming that a true rookie wage scale will be adopted as of 2011, a greater incentive to tank generally will exist once the huge contracts paid at the top of the draft are eliminated.
I believe this is how you guys got evgeni malkin, or MAF, or crosby, i dunno one of those 3 years you picked at the top was during the lockout and you got super lucky like the wizards and won the lottery
good call forster. i think the lockout was in 02 because we drafted MAF first overall in 03. in 04 Caps got Ovie 1 and we took Malkin 2nd. crosby was the #1 in 05 and is now the best player in the league today ;)
even if there is a lock out, theres no way in hell the season is gonna get cancelled. theres too much money on the line and they saw how badly the nhll went into the tank after there cancelled season
nhl actually got alot better after the lockout. they were really struggling before that. ovie, crosby and malkin had alot to do with it but it ended up changing some rules that made the game much faster and high scoring and its bigger today than it has been in 15 years
nick many teams almost went bankrupt or did even (pheonix). it took 7 years for them to recover and they had to overhaul pretty major rule changes. maybe now fan intersest is back up but for a while most ppl didnt even consider hockey a major sport. they lost all there major tv deals and had to go to versus for awhile n lost out on hundreds of millions. if u think thts a good thing then i dont no wat to tell u.
with tht said, does any1 really think the nfl is willing to overhaul major rule changes to bring fans back or lose out on billions of dollars of tv network deals? a lockout might happen, but theres no way any games get cancelled, there already talking about an 18 game schedule for 2012. these guys rnt dumb enough to let it happen which is y im not even the slightest bit concerned.
totally different situation... nhl went under because the teams werent making enough money to pay the players. thats why the coyotes went bankrupt (Mario Lemieux had to save the penguins) and thats why the players and owners forced the lockout. there literally wasnt enough money there. thats where fan interest comes in because now that they are generating revenue from fans there is no threat of a lockout even with less profitable tv deals (which really only affect the NHL not the individual teams or the NHLPA). teams didnt go bankrupt because of the lockout, the lockout happened because teams were going bankrupt.
football is still making way more money than they need but the players want a bigger cut and the owners dont want to give it to them. the lockout wouldnt affect rule changes at all, unless you consider the fact that an 18 game season will actually be used to PREVENT the lockout. in this case the rule change doesnt benefit the fans but the owners and players.
i see ur points, and ur right about most of them and the reasons y there was a lockout in the 1st place, but the main point is the lockout did not help 1 bit, it almost killed the league. u really wanna argue tht the lockout helped the nhl?
