18 game season not til 2012

The NFL’s plans to suggest an expanded 18-game regular season will begin in earnest when the league and the Player Association meet again at the collective bargaining table, but if expansion of the regular season passes it won’t be for the 2011 league year.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stated that the 18-game regular season, if approved, would not begin until the 2012 season.

Explaining all the additional revenue from two additional regular season games and how it would be divided is likely to be one of the bigger issues along with expanded rosters, player safety etc.
