when Super Bowl 41 came, i really followed it...just due to the fact that my Colts were in it. and i remember that a lot of it was planning, not for the game..but with the players familes and what not. organizing their personal lives so that they could be prepared to deliver during the game...they all get a certain amount of tickets and the hounding that some get they needed the prep time to get it in order, then came the practice sessions and the media sessions...it was all overwhelming for some since it was their first SB.

I like the bye week. It does give the teams proper time to prepare, and I am also in favor of having the Pro bowl the week before the superbowl.

What about all the players who refuse to play because they have golf plans or whatever. Or the players who refuse to attend because they lost the Superbowl. I am in favor of giving it a shot even if the players that are in the Super Bowl do not play. That fact is something had to be done, it is either this or get rid of the game completely. The old way was not working at all.

It doesn't really matter who plays in the pro bowl. It will be ten times more interesting this way. You serve appetizers before the main course because after it's just more food.

Thats a good way to put it. Not saying the new way is going to work, but we do know the old was wasnt working. This is worth a shot to try.

I was talking to a few friends the other day and I brought up this subject of the Saturday teams getting an extra day of rest over the Sunday teams. So the question is should they play both Divisional round games from one conference on Saturday, and then both games from the other conference on Sunday. This way in the Championship games the teams playing against each other will have had the same days of rest. To me this seems like the best way to do it, doubt it will ever happen though.
Is it really unfair? They get one less day of rest on the front end so in order to even make it to the next week they have to win a game on one day less of rest.

Well considering the home teams already get a week of rest, yeah I would say so. The better question is have is why not do it my way. I mean seriously do we have to have one AFC game and one NFC game per day? Why not play both AFC games one day and then both NFC games on the other.

Im sure the one NFC and one AFC game per day is a TV thing. Not sure though. Id be fine with that.
As for the home team already having a week off.... They won their division and had either the best or second best record in their conference, that is after all part of the reward for those achievements. If you mess with that the end of the season and teams still playing for positioning in the playoffs might be affected. Heck look this year it wasnt until the last week till we knew who had the second seed in the NFC.
