The NFL makes a lot of wise decisions. It is considering making another good one by eliminating one of its meaningless preseason games for each team. Exhibition games are a waste of everyone’s time because the only meaningful thing that comes out of them is a devastating injury or two. Three would be plenty. Even better, the NFL plans on replacing the preseason week with an extra regular season game for each team. Who doesn’t need more football that counts? Further, the league is exploring the idea of having every team play this seventeenth game on foreign soil. Yep, everyone gets a contest they need a passport to play in.
If cash registers are ringing in your ears it is that familiar sound of the National Finance Lordship raking in more money. Frankly, I don’t care where the games are played as long as they are available in high-def. (Truth be told, I don’t have HDTV but I figure by the time they get around to instituting this plan–2009 or 2010–it will be installed).My guess is the NFLPA will have a complaint about this but Gene Upshaw will find a decapitated horse head in his bed and end up shutting his mouth.
