Indianapolis Colts President Bill Polian on Wednesday morning backtracked on his statement that the decision to expand the NFL regular season from 16 to 18 games is a done deal. "I created a headline that was 180 degrees from what was right," Polian told ESPN Radio. "Bad job by me in answering the question." Polian explained that the issue must be discussed further among NFL executives and owners, and then it must be voted on by owners. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said earlier this week that expanding to 18 games does not need to be approved by the players' union. Polian, a member of the league's competition committee, caused a stir Monday on his local radio show when he twice called the decision "a fait accompli." On Wednesday morning, Polian said he was "imprecise" when answering a question from a caller to his show on WFNI-AM 1070 about regular-season expansion. Source: Indianapolis Business Journal
