Summary

NFL owners voted to officially expand the NFL regular season for the first time since 1978. Mike and Chris examine the ripple effects of a 17-game schedule...Super Bowl on Presidents' Day weekend? Two bye weeks per team? More international games? 18-game schedules? Expansion beyond 32 teams? Also, Roger Goodell said the NFL plans to play in full stadiums this season, and there is reason for that optimism. Bruce Arians got a Super Bowl LV tattoo, and he spoke about the Bucs having offers out to Antonio Brown.
