Could It Be?

A small paper from North Andover, Massachusetts is reporting that the lockout is near an end. Claiming NFL sources, Bill Burt is reporting that the owners and players were close to an agreement Thursday to end the lockout. "Some coaches and players have been contacted about returning to work probably next week and possibly as soon as this weekend." If this was as certain as it sounds, it would be spreading like wildfire. It's huge news. Spokesmen for both the NFL and whatever the players are calling themselves are claiming that it's bogus. Someone has to break this news. Why not the spunky little Eagle Tribune and Bill Burt? Roger Goodell and DeMaurice Smith were seen having a "jovial" dinner in New York. That's pretty interesting news. Whatever the real status of this report, this idiotic lockout is coming to an end. I can just feel it.
