Default Spring game?

The Commissioner and the owners are complete idiots.

I don't know about you guys, but having to endure an NFL season with our QB on injured reserve, the last thing I want to see is a frickin' meaningless spring game to injure more players.

Do these idiots not understand the injury risk?

The commissioner is a moron.

I think it's alright as long as the Pats never play in it.

The idiot commissioner wants all the teams to play a spring game shortly after the draft. They would host the game at home every other year.

To me, it just shows a complete lack of understanding the physical toll on these players in professional football. Can you imagine the injuries?

The idiot commissioner says it would feature new drafted and free agent players. What is he smoking? Are we going to forty rounds in the draft? Doesn't the guy even know the roster size in the NFL?

It's just insanely, stupid.

I'm all for extending the season so we can watch more football, but this idea just sounds dumb. The NFLPA would never agree to this anyway.

I dunno. I think this season is going to be plenty long!
