Goodell Still Saying Fans Want 18 Games

[Ruff]

Per PFT:

Goodell continues to focus on the notion that the fans don’t want a four-game preseason. And there continues to be a disconnect between the discontent with a four-game preseason and a desire for an 18-game regular season.

Seriously?

Who the hell keeps telling him we want 18 games? I don't think I represent every fan out there, but I know that I don't necessarily need 18 games. Hell, I just want 1 game next season.

Goodell is using the fact that fans don't want 4 preseason games (preseason games cost PSL owners the same amount as reg games, and we have to buy them) to justify adding 2 more regular season games. I'd really like to see where Goodell is getting these stats of fans wanting 2 more reg season games. Most people I've talked to don't really care one way or the other on extending the season. They are more vocal about paying reg season game prices for 2 preason games.

I've heard only a very few fans favor the idea.

Most of us hate it.
