“I Think It Would Be a Really Good Move”: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell Opens the Door For Potential 18 Game Regular Season (Report)

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has been talking about extending the NFL season from 17 to 18 games. There were always talks about it when the NFL went from 16 to 17 games a few years ago.

There is also a chance that if the NFL ever goes to 18 games, there is a chance that the Super Bowl will be played on Presidents’ Day weekend. Goodell said on the Today Show about this possibility,

“I think 18 weeks would get you to that point, and I think it would be a really great move.”

Acts like they’re concerned about player safety but still wants to play an extra game. Why don’t they just come out and say $$$ is the #1 priority over everything. I’ll at least respect the honesty.

Well, a lot of NFL fans believe that Goodell does not care about player safety at all. Well, most of the fans are starting to believe that this is the case because it is about money over player safety.
