I’m not the biggest fan of Roger Goodell, but I have zero complaints here.
The 2024 NFL Draft might currently be in progress, but that doesn’t mean commissioner Roger Goodell isn’t working on other things — like the league’s schedule. Goodell revealed possible changes that the NFL could see, and boy, you guys are gonna love this.

Making an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Goodell said that he has interest in shortening the preseason so the league can add an 18th regular-season game, and here’s the sweetest part of the deal: He would move the Super Bowl on the weekend of President’s Day (mid-February) so we can get a THREE-DAY WEEKEND. Yes! A three-day weekend for the Big Game!

Here’s what Goodell had to say on McAfee:
“I think we’re good at seventeen games right now but we’re always looking at how we continue..
I’m not a fan of the preseason and I’d replace a preseason game with a regular season game any day” ~ @nflcommish #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/Tv8xdjkSXJ

And here’s the complete breakdown for you:
Roger Goodell just said on McAfee he ideally wants to go to the following schedule:
2 preseason games
18 regular season games
calendar extended by 1 week
Super Bowl Sunday will land on a 3-day weekend
Monday after Super Bowl is Presidents Day holiday
sounds good to me

this new schedule would include an extra bye week
the 18 games would be spread over 20 weeks
instead of 17 games spread over 18 weeks
more primetime games
more rest for players during the season
and then Super Bowl Sunday is mid-February
the day before Presidents Day

For the love of God, NFL! Make this happen! I need that Monday off so I can overindulge even more in alcohol and chicken wings!
