It seems for the time being that no football will be played next year in the NFL. Some of you will be devastated by the news, some will be disappointed and some will be filled with despair like one former player, a pro bowl quality running back who is trying to come back after a four year absence from the league. He is jobless and broke and his only hope is to play another year of football. Now, it looks as if he'll never have that chance.
I can understand the players objections to an 18 game schedule and playing is hard on the body and when they signed their contracts the season was only 16 games and I can understand the owners wanting to get more games in to increase receipts so they can afford to pay the players.
I, for one, think a sixteen game schedule is too long and eighteen would be unbearable. I think the season should began as a playoff system. Lose a game and you are done for the season. Last one standing wins it all and then we can all do something more fun and interesting than watching football.
