But in terms of being a good person, an honorable man, Mara is tops in the NFL, in my opinion.

He has the blood and genetics of the man once termed "The Conscience of the NFL." His father was ridiculed as antiquated as well. But nobody who knew Wellington Mara, to a man, would dare suggest he didn't care about his Giants, or the welfare of the National Football League.

That legacy was passed to John following his father's passing in 2005. He may remain unpopular with the fans, but it is clear he is dedicated to live up to father's beliefs in doing what is best for the league and its players.

But it's a far different environment in today's NFL than the one Wellington left behind. What would Wellington, or George Halas, think about the league in its current state now?

For those reasons, Rich @MightyGiants , you are absolutely correct in your assessment of John Mara.

Peace!

P.S. Hoping things are getting a little better for you, day by day.

2 bye weeks
Every team same bye week
Maybe week 6 and week 14

Why that would be good for the game and the players, there are no longer enough owners like Mara.   If they do add a second bye it will be floating like the first.   That way the owners can maximize revenue.

ralph: Great idea. It'll never happen...     

PS. Another possibility is to schedule 16 games at foreign venues ALL on the same week, and put one bye on either side of that week. Bob
