Sheriff Goodell Proposes 48 Week NFL Season

Bobby Mercado May 5, 2009

It's official—the NFL has taken over the universe.

In an unprecedented move, commissioner Roger Goodell has proposed a new 48-week regular season, with a three-week playoff and Super Bowl to follow.

Citing hard economic times and needing to find new ways to create revenue, the NFL has decided: why not just play more?

There will be no annoying draft build-up (goodbye Todd McShay) and no more preseason playoff games. Just games, games, and more games.

Essentially, the new schedule will follow the same criteria as the current 16-game schedule, except every team will play it three times.

When asked how this might affect the players, Goodell had this to say, " The players get paid to play football, now they will just play more football, or I will suspend them."

As expected, the players are not that excited about the new set-up.

"When will I have time to carry a gun illegally and be drunk publicly", said Bills RB Marshawn Lynch.

"This is really gonna cut in to my time hanging out at The U."

(Lynch may have forgotten he did not attend Miami, and that he only looks like he did.)

This will affect fans, in that it should eliminate almost any time at all to spend with ones family, care at all about another sport, and for fantasy football to never have to end.

Bravo, NFL!
