    Re: Official CBA Thread

    An 8 game season would just be a cash grab. For that reason alone, i would sit it out and wait for next year.

    Having a SB after playing half a regular season and some playoff games would be a joke. The one thing NFL has correct over most leagues are the amount of games teams play. Anything more than 16 is too long, and anything less than 14 games is too short IMHO.

    I know it's just part of a contingency plan, so let's hope it never happens.

      I hope an 8 game schedule does not happen either. But we have to wait and see what happens. Hopefully by the end of the month or beginning of July we have a new CBA.

        Think how fast and furious free agency is going to be.

          Anyone know how this is affecting the NFL drug testing? I would assume there is no testing, so the players who want to use steroids are free to do so.

            Currently zero testing.

            Not sure you can get steroids out of your system with just a week or two warning of testing resuming.

                  I remember that season very much so. I never liked it then, and i wouldn't like it now.

                    a lot of people would not like a short season.

                      I'll definitely boycott everything NFL if there is an 8 game season. Well, besides maybe Sports Center Highlights and Madden :o . But, no going to/ watching games, no buying merchandise, no fantasy football, nothing. NFL football will be dead to me for a year. Not like it matters since I'm just one person but, I'm sure others feel this way too.

                          I want to say that's how I'll be, but I know I won't be able to hold off. I don't want an 8 game season and I won't like it, but I'll still be glued to my seat watching games every week and following the NFL like I normally do.

                            Yep that season more or less gave the world the weakest SB champ though I think with a full season the 'Skins still would've had an excellent chance of winning it all. The Dolphins on the other hand? Not so much. I think teams would've figured out how to defend Woodley and the Miami defense would've gotten worn out.

                                Probably next year. It's too late in time to go upsetting the apple cart that way.
