18 game schedule coming...What would you like to see the new format be?

[SBXVII]

On a side note if you look at Hockey they have fewer players on the roster, but they do have farm leagues so even though the players are not on the team they are still signed to the team and are on semi pro hockey teams that are owned or somewhat owned by the pro team.

Same with Baseball.

Football is the only league that your either on a team or your not. Unless each team adopts a UFL team and stashes players there until they need them.

What I don't get is ... why is hockey just as brutal if not more brutal then Football yet in hockey they have fewer players on the roster and about triple the games?

What? lol.

Ok your talking playing on soft grass vs. playing on rock hard ice? Less swelling? I'll grant you they might not sustain the same types of injuries as the OL or DL who are falling all over each others knees but otherwise the players suffer similar injuries with similar types of hits.
