Roger Goodell Continues Banging Drum For 18-Game Season

Despite poll after poll clearing showing that fans do not want an 18-game regular season, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell continues to assert that they do. "We do think it (an 18-game season) is attractive to season-ticket holders," Goodell said during a conference call on Thursday with Tennessee Titans season-ticket holders. "I hear that all of the time from our season-ticket holders. We have not abandoned our position on that. "We do think it is the right thing for the game. It improves the quality of what we do, and it improves the value for you as season-ticket holders. We do think it is a benefit for everybody, but we want to do it the right way, and we want to do it responsibly. That includes the players’ perspective." Goodell has been repeating this "fans want an 18-game season" line in response to season-ticket holders complaints about having to pay regular-season prices for two pre-season games as part of their annual renewal invoice. Perhaps an easier solution to the justifiable complaints of season-ticket holders, and one that doesn't involve increasing the number of chronic traumatic encephalopathy cases among former players, would be to decrease or stagger the cost of tickets for pre-season games. That would certainly appease the existing season-ticket holders, who may pay the savings forward by actually attending those games.

Give it up Goodell... The players will never agree to it.

 

please just resign

 

No. The fans want a SEASON, period. At this rate, ..you're not showing signs of a 16 game season, much less should you be lobbying for an 18 game season. Jackbutt.

 

Fans don't want it, Players don't want it, Teams don't want to pay players for those two extra games.

Three key reasons why this shouldn't happen Goodell.

 

Jedi mind tricks won't work on us.

 

Seems like the only thing Goodell wants to due is ruin the NFL.

 

He's doing a good job so far.

 

What a clueless moron...Even my thirteen year-old son thinks an 18 game regular season schedule is a bad idea....as well as that stupid idea of moving a game to England every year.

 

No joke I was going to post the same thing almost verbatim.

 

And people wonder why Roger gets all the hate. He's the face of the owners. The face of the league. The face of frustration. The face of failure.

 

He is the face of cluelessness.

 

No only Phigles wonders that...


Roger Goodell is the biggest heck up in the NFL in history.
