[DaFace]

Is the NFL considering expanding? And if so, how does that impact the St. Louis lawsuit? @AllbrightNFL explained today on #BKandFerrario.

It's really going to suck having to draft 36th every year...

I think sn extra game and 4 more teams is dumb.

But greed always wins.

Personally I want to see federal legislation if cities or counties pay for stadiums they get the percentage of money for tickets sold. You pay 6 billion for a 7 billion stadium. You get ⁸³ percent or whatever it is of the ticket cost.

For new teams. Ir would probably be all European.

It would add a new level of strategy about who gets rested and when. It would probably add competition because the strong teams would likely rest their stars against the weakest teams.

The strategy would be really cool. You probably wouldn't want to rest players too early in the season, because ideally you'll hold their individual byes for if they get injured. But if you wait too late, you might end up having to rest players in critical games with playoff implications. And how many starters can you rest against a team like the Panthers or Patriots before you're taking an unacceptable risk of a loss?

You rest all your stars against a non conference team late and just take the loss.

Or you get a backdoor agreement to play your second string against their second string.

Then I’d be forced to watch meaningful Chiefs games without Mahomes at QB and I don’t like that at all
