Its over you guys. Its over. We can go back to hating the good old fashion officials as god intended. Reportedly a deal is in place or about to be and the refs could be back as soon as this week. Roger Gooddell has seen your tears. He has seen your gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes. And lo, he hath saw that it was bad and has solveth the problem. Sure he created the problem, but god knows they are all going to call this a victory.
Now if fucking Gary Bettman could get the owners to bend in the NHL just a bit we might have hockey this year...
Note: According to Peter King the head of the NFLRA told the refs a deal is not imminent though so who the fuck knows.
