NFL Changes...

What does everyone think of having the pro bowl 1 week before the super bowl, having a 18 game regular season and having the Super Bowl played outside of the us like in Toronto, Mexico City, or London? I heard about all of this on some sports shows earlier although I couldn't find any articles for it as of yet. I personally wouldn't mind a few more regular season games because I love football. They may drop a preseason game I think for these 2 extra games or 1 extra or whatever they want to do.

I think the pro bowl before the Super Bowl is dumb especialy since the players that are in the super bowl that are on the pro bowl teams won't even play as they won't want to get hurt.

I also think that the super bowl in another country is stupid. Football is only big here and is like an American passtime. Don't take football away from the fans that love it. The NFL will never be global like soccer.

Too manly a sport. Those Canadians and Euros can't handle this great game. In fact, they tried that whole Euro football league thing, and last I checked, it was terrible.

I say keep football in America, cuz that's where the fans are and it's a waste of money. You'd have to build stadiums, or at least fields for the game, and it wouldn't be a big a following as it is in America.

And having the game before the Super Bowl probably would be taking too big a chance when it comes to injuries. Although a longer season would be better.

I think it'd be a good idea to have the Super Bowl in other countries, since that would add more variety.

[Kaffee]

No, no, no and hell no. Just kidding, I really don't think an 18 game season will happen with injures and all. And it wouldn't make any sense for the Pro Bowl to be played before the Super Bowl, because some of player on the Super Bowl teams wouldn't be able to play in it. And the Super Bowl outside the US, nah, that won't happen either because its a money draw for any american city that hosts it.

I'd love a 18 game season. I also doubt the Super Bowl should leave our country because it is such a money draw. I mean the commercials are pricy and great and I want them in america, in english! If they want some Canadians to watch the game then play it close to theri border like in Seattle.

I'm for expanding the season's games and reducing the games in the preseason (which is what they would do). I am ridiculously against shifting the pro bowl and moving the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is basically the way teams pay for stadiums now. Get a new state of the art stadium, get the Super Bowl and make the money for it. Listen, this is our game. I understand moving a regular season game or two overseas, but be careful.

[Grave Wisdom]

Well, what about having resident teams in other countries? Of course, that's unlikely to happen...unless they can think of some alternate term to describe our football.

I would love an eighteen game season.
Hate Super Bowl in another country.
Probowl before Super Bowl = Dumb.
