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.
