More games = more revenue = more cap space = increased player salary demands = all will equalize But i hate the idea, nearly half the teams can back into the playoffs after mediocre seasons. NBA style |

For the players. To give them a better chance of getting rest and downtime during the season. The owners get the added revenue and the players get more recovery time. The media spends the first bye putting out content analyzing the in depth impact of the first seven games. They spend the next bye analyzing trade rumors. There is no dark week when secondary content can be hyped to be more entertaining and digestible than some of the games themselves.

You don't think taking a bye week refreshes the guys on the roster, or you don't think a well done program can be more entertaining than a shitty game?

I don't think the owners would want dark weeks in the middle of the season

Just imagine, they are about to dip their greedy hands in gambling.
So let's tally up the money. 16 more games, check, two extra MASSIVELY bet playoff games, check. I love football, but I woulnd't cry if each of these owners lost it all. **** them. |

Lack of star power in the playoffs due to injuries is very exciting.

Owners increase their direct revenue by 6% for the extra regular season game.
Let's say they add a bye, so there will be another week of added TV revenue that gets spread out. 5.8% increase. I don't know what the playoff games bring, but add that to the pot. But hey, they will give the players .5% of that. ****ing pathetic. |

The owners are pushing for more games and that puts more stress on the health of the players. If they want more money then they can give something up for it, and I'm fine with an extra bye week and expanded rosters as the exchange because I think that will directly improve player health.
