TTL News 318 Posted April 30 Quote "I think we're good at 17 now," Goodell said. "But, listen, we're looking at how we continue. I'm not a fan of the preseason." Then, gesturing toward a group of fans assembled nearby, Goodell said, "And I don't think these guys like it either." He continued: "The reality is, I'd rather replace a preseason game with a regular-season game any day. That's just picking quality. If we get to 18 and 2, that's not an unreasonable thing." Adding an additional regular-season game could, theoretically, result in a second bye week being added, which would lengthen the regular season. But Goodell would welcome that, he said, as he envisions a Presidents Day weekend built around the Super Bowl on Sunday night. "And then you have Monday off," Goodell said. Read the rest here.

Chris 2,225 Posted April 30 I realize not everyone has President's Day off, but I do, and would welcome this. As for how many games, I'd say that's something the players should have more say in. Quote Goodell also spoke about a future increase to the number of games played internationally, saying he envisions as many as 16 regular-season games being played abroad, perhaps, within the next 10 years. This I am against. It's nuts to expect these teams to travel internationally and perform well on the field. Add to that the quality of the turf being different, and you could have a situation like what happenes to Matt Milano last year all over again.
