NFL Superbowl picks

I think the Packers are a great team that beat another great team. I thought the scoreboard accurately reflected the difference between them.

CO the injuries are a good topic. I think the uptick in injuries is partially because the season keeps getting longer every few years, partially because doctors are just beginning to realize how dangerous this game is, and partially because improvements in conditioning make the hits ever harder.

Personally, I think the proposed extention to 18 games a season would be disastrous.

The players are ambivalent about this. I have heard grumbles that are kind of quiet. They have to play two additional games in an already long season but they get two extra weeks pay. For someone who makes 2-3 million over 16 weeks, that's a nice chunk of change. It's almost justifiable if they don't think about the wear and tear that a physical sport like this takes on the body. Fatigue will do funny things.
