It’s 100% voluntary, but it doesn’t help the game to be stupid. Why not change the rules so that teams only have two downs? Why not switch to a round ball? Why not make the QB wear a bag over his head?
Well I’ll tell you this; I’m enough of a sports fan that I suggest I have some rules changes I would like to suggest. I think they are some changes we could make in certain sports that would make them more exciting you know?
Like in football, I would let all forty-five guys play at the same time. You know, what’s this s**t standing around watching the game? Get in there, put a helmet on and hurt somebody for Chrissakes, will you? You’re not getting paid to watch and never mind lining up, just grab the ball and run like a m**********r you know?
Another thing I would do in football, I would leave the injured on the field. Well they’re always talking about how it’s a big war going on out there. Fine, let the Red Cross come around and pick these _______s up.

The NFL are pussies. They should play a 162 game schedule like MLB baseball. Now those are real men.
What is stupid about extending the season? Players will compensate, coaches will compensate. Strategies will change. Shoot, better that these wealthy fools have to compete in more games, versus taking it easy in pre-season except for the ones trying to make the team.
Longer season equals more games that count. It will be OK.
