And just like that: wheels down JFK. Good morning. ?
@matigo That happens in the NBA as well.
On the last game of the 8 city, 13 game stretch the Warriors had, there was a matchup with the San Antonio Spurs in San Antonio the day after a game in Minnesota. The Warriors rested their starters. So did San Antonio. Fans who showed up to see Steph Curry were pissed.
The NBA post-season is 4 7-game series. Could also be deemed excessive.

@matigo I didn't say it was too many for the players :P
One thing I like about the NFL: each team plays 16 regular season games over the course of 17 weeks. Individual games are far more meaningful than, say, a typical MLB season or even an NBA season (82 games). That said, the NFL offseason is a little too long.

@jasonechols The NBA has the same issue with back-to-backs, particularly for Western Conference teams. The Golden State Warriors had played in 8 cities coast-to-coast over the course of 13 days, which included a couple of back-to-backs.
Frankly, I don't think either the NBA or MLB need to play so many games. Either that or they can cut the preseason and make the actual season longer.
