Über diesen Titel

 The NFL’s move to an 18-game regular season feels inevitable — and in this episode of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, the crew explains why players may not be able to stop it, even if they desperately want to. The conversation starts with growing signals from ownership circles that an expanded season is no longer a debate, but a matter of timing. Jen, Gabe & Chewy break down how league power dynamics, TV money, and a fractured players’ union have all lined up in the owners’ favor — and why history suggests this outcome was always coming. 🏈 Why the 18-game season is inevitable The crew lays out the uncomfortable truth: NFL owners always get what they want The NFLPA lacks leverage, unity, and trust Fans say they don’t want more games — but always watch anyway They explain how the league will publicly frame the change around player safety, while privately prioritizing billions in additional TV revenue and inventory. 🧠 What players should be fighting for Rather than arguing over bye weeks or minor concessions, the show pivots to what actually matters: Lifetime health care Long-term medical support for non-stars Protection for the majority of players who won’t earn generational money Chewy shares firsthand perspective from his playing days, explaining why most NFL players don’t trust their union, how short careers really are, and why the league’s current injury trends make expanded seasons even more dangerous. 📉 Are injuries getting worse? The episode connects several dots: Shorter, less physical training camps Bodies being less prepared for a longer grind More soft-tissue injuries during the season Fewer opportunities to build durability The crew debates whether attempts to “protect players” have actually made the game more dangerous once the season starts. 🏈 College football isn’t immune The discussion widens to college football, where playoff expansion and longer seasons raise similar concerns: How many games is too many for 18–22 year olds? Are we accelerating long-term damage earlier than ever? Is football expanding faster than it can safely support? 📺 Fans say they’re done — but never are One of the most honest moments of the episode: Fans complain loudly about more games… then still watch every snap. From meaningless late-season games to injury-filled matchups, the crew admits the truth: habit, fantasy football, gambling, and routine keep people locked in, even when they say they want less. ❄️ Exploding trees & Wisconsin winter chaos In classic Jen, Gabe & Chewy fashion, the episode takes a sharp turn into real-life chaos: Exploding trees caused by extreme cold Wind chills pushing 40 below Furnaces dying at the worst possible moment Why everything breaks only during extreme weather It’s a reminder that sometimes the most relatable conversations are the ones far outside football. ⚖️ The bottom line The episode closes with a sobering reality: Owners are organized Players are fragmented Fans are addicted And football will keep expanding until something truly breaks The question isn’t if the NFL adds an 18th game. It’s when — and what players will lose to get there. 🎧 Thoughtful, honest, and wide-ranging NFL conversation — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.
