My final words on the past four months or so - Lots done wrong by both sides both from a PR standpoint and from a pushing the edge of legal in the various court matters. Negotiations were incredibly tough because, whether deserved or undeserved, the players just didn't trust the owners. It looks like the end result was a good one, one that gave each side some of their key points and didn't give either side a full-on "win". Ultimately, the fans get 10 years of not having to listen about labor disputes and the game, as we know it, in terms of its structure and player movement is preserved.

I guess what I am trying to say is that, despite all the bitching along the way, a really good result happened and now football is back and going strong! On top of all that, not one regular season game was lost!

Boom Baby!!
