Adam Schefter Reports the Lockout is Officially Over

The news we all wanted to hear just came across the wire.  The NFL lockout is officially over.  The millionaires and billionaires finally kissed and made up.  How will they ever survive with their millions of dollars?

There is a reason we didn’t cover the lockout and that is because it’s pointless.  At the end of the day these guys get paid a king’s ransom to play a child’s game.  Yes they out their bodies on the line for our entertainment but they know that they will get hurt going in, and collect checks larger than most people’s yearly salary every week for doing so.  It’s hard to feel bad for these guys and their billionaire employers.  That would be the equivalent of Donald Trump asking me to borrow a twenty because he just filed bankruptcy for the 10th time.

But here are the details per Adam Schefter:
