Are you ready for some football?

It's official.
The NFL lockout is over and there will be football this season.
Earlier today the players' executive committee unanimously approved the new NFL collective bargaining agreement.
The lockout, which lasted 136 days, was the longest work stoppage in league history. I have to say, I'm ecstatic about the news, as I just can't imagine a fall without the Lions. I know they haven't done much to impress us lately, but this could be the year of the Honolulu Blue and Silver.
If everything shapes up the way it looks it will, the Lions will open training camp on Thursday, with full contact practices starting on Saturday.
