Hey, why not just cut the season shorter, and go to a double elimination tournament with all teams eligible?

Why not start the playoffs with the Sweet Sixteen?

Eventually they are going to have the entire league in playoffs, so how about starting that right away?

The Bengals will be invited to Hallmark Channel’s Kitten Bowl where they will be two touchdown underdogs, er... undercats.

the league said a separately produced telecast of the game tailored for a younger audience will air on kid-focused cable net Nickelodeon.

CTE has made moms too scared to let their kids play football. The NFL has no future in the long term. This is a bid to win kids back. This particular solution will not work. They need to do something better. Sadly for them, they have an idiot in charge that they just re-upped for years and years just to give the finger to people who were mad at kneelers so they get what they get.

Pro football is a joke now, and has been for quite a while

Great, another March Madness.

Wonder why the PA went along with this - aren’t enough of them getting crippled every year?

I kept looking for “Babylon Bee” somewhere in the story. Nickelodeon? Really?

“Scheduled re-runs of Spongebob Squarepants will be interrupted so that we may bring you the following sports presentation...”

(followed by whiny f-bombs from a generation of crumb-crunchers and their parents)

They should put the playoffs on Bravo: “Look, Brucie! It’s a bunch of men in tight pants and shoulder falsies! Ooh, and they’re hitting each other!”

All this is is one more wildcard in each conference and so the second seed gets no bye.
