Adalius Thomas gives his thoughts on an 18 game schedule

I honestly agree with him. In addition, you will be putting the players in a higher risk of injuries and so forth. Everybody knows that the players are making a lot of money but that's how it is and no one in the world would take less money for more hours.

Sure they would because half the people who post on this board would gladly work ten hours more per week for no extra pay because there employer needs the extra income that he can make by you working extra hours. IMHO they would work these extra hours because they feel lucky to have a job when so many unemployed people would love to have there job..The most important thing is that your boss needs the extra income more than you need that 10 hours per week that you lose.
