Re: Longer Season.. what does it offer other than more revenue?
Well unless the NFL is moving to have 80+ or 160 games like you see in Basketball or Baseball, I don't think adding 2 games will make any game unimportant.

Re: Longer Season.. what does it offer other than more revenue?
Why go overseas when we could put teams in LA, Vegas, and Portland?

You are assuming folks in the West are like yourself. People in the West do not foam at the mouth for football like they do where you live. They tried LA several times...yeah, you can do it again....Las Vegas? That 115 degrees man! Portland is possible I guess. Their real push is to get on international television...getting on telemundo or something would be huge...I can see them going into Canada or Mexico City or something...the problem with Mexico is the language barrier...how do you hold press conferences in a different language?...what free agent wants to live in another country?...I dont know. The most I see them ever doing is having each team play a single game abroad yearly...I really dont see any NFL teams outside of the US...unless its in Canada and thats a big "if"

We always performed poorly in our primetime games. To the guy that said if people are already on a plane for 3 hours.. what's another 3 to 6? Are you serious? Sitting still for 3 hours, 6 hours, 9 hours.. you get stiff, you're not loose, etc.. I mean I'd imagine they'd head over a few days in advance and run their last practice or two overseas depending where it's at.. but that's a lot of downtime beforehand. |

Anybody remember the 78 season and how thoughts were then about adding to the regular season? Or even the bye week inclusion in.. what was it 90? I remember that happening but not what popular opinion was. |

as far as LA, I know that they want that market, but how many times can you try that experiment? Vegas and Portland would probably have to be in domes due to weather. Vegas seems like it would be more of a dome city as it is anyways |
