I would ask the college players to boycott the draft. There is no deal anyway! What incentive is it for the players to allow the draft to happen. A big bargaining chip. I would say to help cripple the NFL owner's stance. I think extending the NFL season to 18 games is player suicide. Player shortened careers. one quarter of the players were injured last hear a high percentage. I think it is a high number. What about you the reader? How do you feel?
I saw a player on ESPN a month ago had a great idea for the playoffs. Just add 2 teams each on the AFC and NFC sides. There will be no bye rounds. The players make more money so do the owners. The networks make more money off 4 more playoff games. That has got to be a huge money maker with 4 more playoff teams. The fans of the 4 extra teams have a chance at a championship. They wouldn't have last season. Only problem though they will have to play the top two seeds. 1 seed plays 8 seed. 2 seed plays 7 seed. Roger S. Goodell (NFL Commissioner) i do not agree with his involvement with the owner's side. He should be totally impartial. He should not be on either side. He should step back and keep his hands off or jump in to mediate a deal. From what I can tell the owners are being really greedy. The owners are making a killing in the NFL especially Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys. The number one franchise in all of sports.The Cowboys even out sold the New York Yankees. The owners do not have to get their heads ripped off.
