Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been a popular punching bag in recent years for floating ideas about the future of the NFL that the players, their union and many media members loathe. Jones was at it again Tuesday, resuscitating the idea of an 18-game regular season.
Most people agree that the NFL's preseason feels long, but few agree on how that can be reduced without lowering the league's revenue. Jones told 105.3 The Fan in Dallas that he is in favor of an 18-game schedule, reducing the preseason to two games.
"It's probably better physically for players," Jones said, per Dallas Morning News' Jon Machota, to play 18 regular-season games.
