If the owners are so bent on the 17th game, could (1) adding a 2nd bye week and (2) dropping that ludicrous cap on players getting paid for the 17th game clause make things more palatable to the players?

Sounds like they want to make wild card weekend an all late afternoon/night game thing with games on Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights. No 1pm Eastern/12pm Central starts.

I was thinking 1PM, 4:30PM, and 8PM EST on Saturday and Sunday for the expanded Wildcard Weekend

Presumably, the players are saying, if you are going to weaken committment to health and safety by adding another game, why not at least pay us for that. This suggests that they could be tempted into accepting it if the compensation at least balances other concerns.

That 250k cap on the 17th game does seem pretty indefensible...

What does Dickerson think? Gives someone an extra game to beat his record. (took him 15 game to beat the Juice.) That said I have lost track of Simpson. Is the juice loose or still in the big house???

[Hacksaw]

Loose Juice on a golf course near you. (if you're in FL)

But sounds like they want to nuke that Saturday 1pm eastern/10am pacific game and put it prime time on Monday. Maybe even two games Monday night.

You lose the East Coast on that 2nd Monday night game.
