Rookies and fringe players need to put out their best as early as they can.

It should be a six game season - and all games should be spaced 7 weeks apart...

I like it for the pure fact that I will only be throwing away $200 dollars a year on pre season tickets versus the $400 that gets flushed now.

Yes but since the players are going to fight for more money, I'm sure the owners will adjust ticket prices accordingly. And that won't be down despite all the empty seats they have now.

I generally disagree, but considering the amount of low-quality games so far this season, I'm beginning to reconsider.

They ruined it long ago for me...same with baseball and basketball.

The college 1A group is doing their part as well.



It's so simple.

If it's not worth it---don't buy it....don't be a fool.



You would be amazed at how fast ''adjustments'' are made.
