An 18-game NFL season has been in the works for a while now and it finally looks like it's going to happen in 2012.
This is obviously great for the fan. Two more games of regular season football and the possibility of more rivalry games being scheduled with the two extra games to work with.
There is a downside to this and Carson Palmer said it best by saying that each games loses a little bit of significance by adding two more regular season games.
If the NFL moves to an 18-game schedule then they should cut the preseason down to two games. It's already too long as it is in my mind.
Obviously the players aren't all on board with this and they're going to want more money if this thing pushes through. This could possibly lead to a strike if the NFL is unwilling to meet the players halfway with this new proposition.
A lot needs to be worked out with this idea of an 18-game schedule, but it's definitely fascinating to think about two more football games to watch every season.
