”Completely dislike it on almost every front imaginable.:
a) The players don’t want it.
b) It looks like a money grab in an industry that’s in a fight over revenue sharing already.
c) Fans have almost zero interest, so there’s no demand from the peanut gallery.
d) It waters down the regular season.
e) The possibility of teams clinching early and rolling Jim Sorgi and Peter Tom Willis out there at quarterback becomes a likely scenario.
f) All the records I know and love become moot. Dan Marino’s 5,084 passing yards and Eric Dickerson’s 2,105 rushing yards (both set in 1984) will get toppled.
g) Careers could be shortened even further in a league that already is getting lambasted — fairly or not — for not taking care of its ex-players who need medical help.
h) Do we need an “h” at this point?
