Default Brady weighs in on possible extended season

It Is What It Is Brady weighs in on possible extended season

They're calling it an "enhanced" season

Quote:
"I've taken part in several postseason runs where we have played 20 games,” writes Brady. “The long-term impact this game has on our bodies is well-documented. Look no further than the players that came before we did. Each player today has to play three years in order to earn five years’ or post-career health care. Our union has done a great job of raising the awareness on these issues and will make the right decision for us players, the game and the fans.”

Adding to the season is an additional health risk to players who already substantially risk their present and future post NFL health every day in practise. Don't do it.

I don't understand the disconnect on this issue. None of the fans I know want 18 games, and I sure don't. Yet, Goodell says the fans want it and Kraft says it won't hurt the players, talking like it's a done deal.

It's not about what fans want. It's about money. Even if the fans "don't want it", the networks will still show the 18 games, and the people will still watch them. Brady is right, 18 games would be bad for the players and the fans. Good luck getting the NFL to see it that way.

I'll be damned if the Brady/Moss records are broken due to two additional games.

Yeah, agree with the others here. Why fix something that isn't broke? It is definitely all about the money.

If Goodell does this, it's pretty much icing on the cake. He will be, by FAR, the worst commissioner in NFL history and will be among the worst in professional sports today (dare I say, even worse than Bud Selig).

I don't know what's worse -- ignoring blatant existing problems or changing things on a whim usually for the worse

What the hell, you can't be serious. David Stern's led NBA has been filled with corrupt officiating and is now turned into "foul-ball". Hell one of the refs under his watch went to PRISON. And Bud Selig completely ignored the steroid era, the most disgusting act in sports history if you ask me.

Roger Goodell has been a GREAT commissioner, it baffles me how any person can call him bad let alone THE WORST out of the 3 major sports. Changes under his watch....

Good
Three day draft = Proven sucess
Pro-Bowl before Super Bowl = Proven success
Harsh punishment for NFL thugs like Big Ben, Pacman = GREAT
Finally changing NFL overtime rules = GREAT
New York Super Bowl = GREAT
Adding third Thanksgiving Game = GREAT

Bad
NFL games outside of US (Dear god no, I will agree this is HORRIBLE)
Handling of SpyGate (Fine/draft pick were OUTRAGEOUS but I am glad he destroyed tapes)

So yeah Goodell has done A LOT more good than bad.

That's enough for me to call him a failure.
