Good times

Sounds like the NFL is bound and determined to kill the golden goose. Per NFL.com:

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suggested Friday that the league's draft process might be adjusted again.

In an interview with NFL Media's Jeff Darlington, Goodell said the NFL will consider stretching the annual draft from three days to four. Regardless of the change, the draft will remain seven rounds in nature.

"We're looking at a lot of options with respect to the draft to create even more excitement around the draft," Goodell said.

Four days? The better part of a week? Three days is already pushing it. Two days feels about right. Four just feels foolish.
