The NFL season is too long, The Post’s Mike Vaccaro writes.
Today is Week 18 in the NFL, which will mean that all NFL teams will play their 17th games of the season, and I am willing to produce a binding and absolute verdict about something.Nobody wanted a 17th game . Nobody asked for a 17th game . Nobody needed a 17th game .Seventeen games doesn’t make sense. It never made sense. For 20 blissful years, the NFL enjoyed that rarest of all things: the perfect schedule. Thirty-two teams. Sixteen games. Eight divisions.
Now at some point here it’s important to state: This is a worthless complaint. There are a lot of things that would make pro sports better all the way around that, no matter how much you scream and yell, will never be implemented.Parking lots that charge less for the spots than for the actual cars that occupy them would be swell.And so would a 16-game football schedule, a 154-game baseball schedules, and NHL and NBA schedules that top out at around 66 games.
Doesn’t mean we can’t want it. Doesn’t mean it wouldn’t make the sports better. Doesn’t mean we can’t wish for a playoff game this weekend while thumbing through a long pile of NFL options on Season Ticket.There are lots of positive vibes buzzing around the Nets these days, but this is the best: Jacque Vaughn is. Good things happening to good people is always welcome around here.
