Aside from auto racing, every other sports team (minus NFL) rests their star players at some point during the season prior to clinching a playoff berth. An extended season would presumably result in larger rosters, more active players per game, and it would require more TEAM play rather than relying on star/veteran players to carry a team....which has been the bane of the NFL over the past 10+ years.Even with the current schedule, star/veteran players are rarely playing in the preseason. That's a time to weed out the youngsters who aren't fit to be professional athletes. If an 18-game schedule comes to fruition I would be all for a mandatory 1 (or more) game inactive requirement for every player on the roster. Will it mess up starting streaks and such? Sure, but if you're a fan of a team and care more about individual streaks/records than championships, you are not a true fan of your team.(Also...every player knows this is a dangerous game. If they can't handle the heat then they should get out of the kitchen. This sport is becoming increasingly wussified and that's a damn shame).</blockquote>
