Proposal To Extend NFL Season Could Be Key To Avoiding Lockout
(Forbes) — The proposal being floated by the National Football League for the 2012 season sounds reasonable enough, in theory: Eliminate two of four preseason “exhibition” games and lengthen the real season to 18 games, from 16.

Instead they’ll have two more chances to watch first-stringers playing in games that count.
