10.) Players would still be overpaid by billions but at least they would have to do what most everyone else has to do. Work year around for their money with only a short two weeks vacation
9.) We wouldn't see players getting huge raises and showing up to training camp overweight and out of shape.
8.) Fans wouldn't support a spoiled player holding out if his holding out for more money if it meant he was gone in games that actually counted.
7.) Every Quarterback in the NFL would be assured of being injured and nobody would be betting that their QB would be one of the lucky ones who managed to scrape through. Just think, We could make bet that the playoffs would feature more backups than ever before.
6.) Homer fans could brag how their team's running back got 5,000 yds rushing in 50 games instead of bragging about 1,500 in 16 games which they say is better than Jim Brown's 1,000 in 10?
5.) Terrel Owen would have the opportunity to diss his coach, QB and team to the press a minium of once a month or 12 times a year. Fake suicide twice a year, take dumps in the sink 3 times a year. The possibilities are endless.
4.) Pacman Jones might actually get reinstated and play a full year if he didn't have time for strip clubs.
3.) Mike Vick would still be in the NFL instead of prison and bankruptcy court if he had to play year around and hadn't gotten bored with being a multi millionaire to the point of dog fighting. Nobody has ever gone to prison for giving fans the bird that I have ever heard of.
2.) Ricky Williams couldn't sneak off for five months and smoke with the cult.
1.) The entire City of Cincinatti probation staff would know where to find the majority of their clients at any given time.

I see that you're not factoring the costs of making the sport year round ? Increased payroll means even greater costs. Which'd mean greater ticket prices at the expense of the fans. Is that what you really want ?
Besides year round were it to be played. It'd also put the rest of the sport's diaspora on a frenzy.
This'd be utterly insane from the get-go.
1) Chad Johnson would actually be to exhausted to run his mouth.
2) Adrian Peterson would would set an NFL record 3500 yards rushing in a season......despite being out for six games due to an injury.
3)Brett Favre will decide to retire twice.
4) John Kitna says " I definitely gaurantee the Lions will win 10 games"
5) Michael Strahan unretires and sacks the QB 40 times.
6) The Bears swap out Rex Grossman and Brian Griese an NFL record 12 times.
7) Jon Gruden panics and signs Kelly Staufer,Daunte Culpepper, Jared Lorenzen and is currently on a hunting trip with Jake Plummer and a large undisclosed amount of cash.

I love how you've borrowed the concept from My List (btw, my best NBA teams series should resume tomorrow; my life has been very busy these last few days). Here is a condensed version of a list from me:
10. Five different Broncos running backs would be able to rush for over 1,000 yards.
9. Brett Favre would retire (and unretire) 2,498 more times.
8. Aaron Rodgers would get mad 2,498 more times.
7. Mike Martz would force Mike Nolan to call 4,000 more timeouts.
6. Jon Kitna (sorry, sixfigure) would get sacked 10,000 times.
5. Speaking of the Losers, er, Lions; Matt Millen would hear the "Fire Millen" chant 25,000 times.
4. We would get 5,000 more games with Tony Kornheiser as an analyst (AHHHHHHHH!!!!).
3. John Madden would point out the obvious 50,000 times.
2. Tom Brady would endure 1 million more mancrushes.
And last, but not least...
1. Peyton Manning would do 4,359,287 more commercials.
Loved the list, Nique, and good sarcasm!
I'm a Kobe fan. He is currently the greatest player in the NBA. In five years he may not be. Five years ago he may not have been. That was then, this is now. If you can't deal with that then kiss my grits. I'm sick of people hating instead of enjoying one of the all time greats. They don't come along very often and if your immaturity can't appreciate Kobe Bryant you're not mature enough to even listen to. Have a nice day.
