Yeah 18 games will significantly shorten the average career span in the NFL over a relatively short time. I think they have hit the "wall" in terms of season length. If the NFl really wanted to increase profits, they should do what every other industry has done and that is to slash expenses and maybe salaries across the board. The hype machine the NFL has become is really unecessary. Rozell did all the league had to do to win over America. I think the game should and can sell itself, because it already has in the past. New stadiums are also unecessary, unless you are truly replacing old relics like the old Tiger Stadium, etc.
