Looks like NFL lockout is finally over!

It seems like the lockout is over thankfully. The NFLPA has agreed to a new deal, since the owners have already agreed last Thursday to a deal. Yay! The only game lost seems to be the Hall of Fame game, but the remaining games should be played and it will be business as usual soon.

Except its not over yet...they have to actually do that first.

Its close but it won't be over until the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed.

 

[Tickle Fiend]

They've agreed to terms. It's over.

Now I can watch NFL Network again.

This actually works out well since training camps would've kicked off this week anyway.

Great. more money for me to lose gambling now.

So, the two sides negotiated hard to do what was best for everyone, laying aside their egos in the process?

Someone call Washington.

Someone call Washington.

I laughed so hard at this.

I'm so happy that the NFL is finally back, they had me worried for a while. I can't imagine the Fall without my Football!

Yes it is indeed done. Finally. Now the frenzy of having to cram all those things normally they would have months to do in a few short weeks.

I'm especially curious how the rookie scale is going to work, Cam Newton might be the most screwed 1st overall pick in a long time. Gone are the days of $60 million guaranteed contracts. Good! Earn it first, son.

Bring on the season...I'm ready to roll. Teams with new coaches may have an even tougher time because they haven't had any contact with players to implement their system which could hurt this season a bit, however I believe this will be an exciting year with perhaps a surprise team winning the Super Bowl.
