Sports The NFL Lockout is Over!
Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 11:01 AM
Men of America, your Sundays will no longer be spent working around the house, attending church, or attentively listening to your spouse—cue that fucking Hank Williams II song—football is back! According to CBS Sports reporter Mike Newman the players union has agreed to the terms (lots of money, slightly less concussions) offered by the ownership committee and the NFL seaon will start on September 8.
Meanwhile, according to former Blazers' executive Tom Penn the NFL lockout has nothing on the mess the NBA has gotten itself into. Ugh.
