No, thankfully it will not happen this year, but according to sources, 2015 looks like it will be the year when we have seven playoff teams in conferences with only sixteen teams. Maybe they should just allow every team with a .500 record in...that would add to the playoffs, right?
And the question as to what competitive advantage this will provide?
Well none. They aren't adding a team for competitive advantage. When asked why do this, the first answer back was because it added revenue to the league. The league already rakes in $9B per year, but the owners want more. That part isn't surprising. What is surprising is they did not have the good sense to at least lie to us and argue for some competitive issue.
Of course, they can;t do that. The league is all about dollars and cents and could care less about your pocketbook or player injuries. The league continues to send Super Bowls to cities that fleece their local taxpayers and continues to fight issues of hiding concussion/brain injury data from players and now has a new scandal dealing with force feeding pain killers to its players.
It is too bad the NFL can;t fess up and become a game again.
