The Facts:
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell can envision a Super Bowl played in mid-February if the league expands its regular-season schedule to 17 or 18 games. Team owners are expected to get a proposal, perhaps as soon as next month, that would eliminate two preseason games and add one or two to the regular schedule. “The idea has merit, I think,” Goodell said Friday, referring to more regular-season games.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Goodell outlined a scenario that would have two preseason games in August, followed by a dark week on Labor Day weekend, followed by the opening week. “I think there are a lot of positives and opportunities to it, but there are some cautionary things,” Goodell said, mentioning overexposure, safety and health issues for the players, and agreements with television and other media partners. Goodell added: "We have not found a saturation point for pro football. ..." We would suggest there is no such thing.
