Comments by NFL Commish

Got this off the FootballGuys News Blogger and I can't believe what The Commish said about the Pro Bowl...

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell addressed several topics when he visited the Arizona Cardinals. He talked about how cutting the preseason back a game or two has been discussed, but that those talks are only in the "infant stage". According to Goodell, setting a rookie salary cap is high on the list of things to do. "I believe players should be well compensated, but they should have to earn it," Goodell said. The draft, in order to make it more fan- and TV- friendly, will be changed. Teams will have 10 minutes instead of 15 minutes in the first round to make a choice, and later rounds will also be shortened, in a move that could be announced as early as next week's league meetings. There are changes being considered for the Pro Bowl, including playing the game in the off weekend between the conference championships and the Super Bowl and perhaps rotating it between cities. "I think (the Pro Bowl) is getting a little bit tired," Goodell said. "It's not a great way to celebrate our game (as is)."

I guess having it sell out year after year and having players show up to play in it is his definition of "getting a little bit tired"...

To even think about moving it to the off week between the conference championships and the Super Bowl?!? just boggles my mind! Who the h*ll will give a damn about the Pro Bowl with the Super Bowl yet to play.

Hey Commish! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
