18 Game NFL Season - I do not think so!

I love football more than anyone, however an 18 game regular season is suicidal for the players. 16 games is more than enough for any team. Below is a list of player injuries this week alone, is any more proof needed that going to 18 games is bad for the League, Players, and Fans!

• Steelers QB Charlie Batch lost for at least a month with a wrist injury.
• Steelers G Chris Kemoeatu lost for two weeks or more with a knee injury.
