Mahomes gets $200 million, DAX, Cousins, JimmyG gets $30 million, Rodgers, Russell getting $35 million etc.
People in Arrowhead and other NFL stadiums arn't paying for those salaries, TV is. It's just the reality. The players are going along with it or it wouldn't be happening. They are making a money grab too. In my middle class life, I've lived in different cities temporarily because someone paid me enough money to make it worth my time. Cant fault either side here. Everyone involved in this decision is making a selfish decisions that benefit themselves. This is our culture of capitalism. |

We had that this year and we wouldn't have gotten a bye based on the new format. Plus, you can be the #2 seed just based on being unlucky or having to face the toughest schedule. Additionally some teams are going to get an one more home game than the rest of them. Total bullshit.

I do not see players adding 1-2 more games.

The extra playoff game and loss of a 2 seed bye is bullshit. Some dog shit team that got an easy schedule is going to slide into the playoffs on regular basis.
Flipping the last worthless preseason game to the regular season seems logical, if the rosters get adjusted. I care more about the cap and if there is a qb exemption though. Any info on that yet? |

I'm not sure legal gambling has much to do w it. There's always going to be plenty of idiots blowing money on gambling. I dont think that has much to do w it.

So one team plays a strength of schedule of say .560 and the other plays a SOS at .445 and the one who plays 8 weak teams gets the top seed at #1.
Yeah, I'm no fan of this on any level. I think the amount of games and structure was perfect. Baseball Playoffs: Too little Hockey and NBA: too many NFL: WAS just perfect Goodall is the Vince McMahon of the NFL |

Has nothing to do with gambling. Has more to do with adding games with my TV/streaming revenue.
