In both cases, a majority vote of at least six owners will be needed to pass the proposed change.
Here's a closer look:
- Eggers owner Mike Miazga actually proposed changing the league schedule to a 14-game regular season after 2017, but I decided to hold off a vote until after 2018 once we completed our 25th season. A 14-game regular season would make the Finks League season last 16 weeks, instead of our present 17 weeks. Adopting this change would mean no Finks games would be played in the NFL's Week 17, typically a "rest" week for playoff teams that have already clinched. This would be easy to do, if passed. I would eliminate the Finks League's Week 9 extra crossover games and flip flop the scheduled games now listed as Week 7 and Week 8. That would place the single crossover week games in the middle of the regular season. I have always liked the idea of playing 15 regular season Finks games, but as Dah Commish I have since changed my mind and have seen more reasons for not playing in the NFL's Week 17.
- This proposal was voted down two years ago. This would be a Dah Commish-inspired proposal revisited. Instead of guaranteeing playoff berths for division runners-up, I still like the idea of going to wild cards to fill the last two playoff spots after division champions. I just like the idea of getting teams with the best records into the semifinal playoffs.
Please send any commentary or rebuttals to the group. I hope you had a pleasant New Year and I am already looking forward to Finks action in 2019.
