NFL: Why so Little Games Played a Year?

Hey my fellow sports fans. Sorry I havent updated my blog in a long time. I have been very busy with school, and didnt really get a chance to do any updating on my blog. Anyways, the thing that I would like to talk about this time around is the amount of basketball games played in a season, as well as the MLB and the NFL games being played a season. The thing that was always brought to my attention is the fact that there are only 16 games played in the NFL (not including the playoffs), and more than 80 games played for both the NBA and the MLB. I understand that the NFL is a very dangerous and brutal sport. Although thats the case, other sports can be just as brutal also depending on whatever is happening during the games. Even though thats true, The goodthing about the NFL not having a lot of games being played a season is the amount of money they receive a year for those 16 games being played. NFL players make a lot of money depending on how useful you can be on a team. Just like every sport, the better you are in the sport the more money you would receive. So I guess its not so bad after all...
