The NFLPA Executive Committee met in Washington Monday and the 32 player representatives voted unanimously to ratify the new CBA.
Everyone has wanted these negotiations settled, but no one more than us fans.
Fans want to hear about football, not law suits, lockout, and negotiations, but what we must realize is that this was a negotiation, a business deal and business deals should not be entered into lightly.
That is the question that continues year after year. It is asked, answered, decided on and then, just when we think Brett Farve has hung up his throwing arm, here he comes back out on the field.

In order to save the NFL 2011 season there must be compromises between all parties involved. They are all adults. They know the importance or working together for the better common good, at least I sure hope so. Talk it out, negotiate, make a deal that all can live with.
We’ve all wondered what would happen if they don’t come to terms.
What would we do without America’s favorite sport? What would come of all involved in NFL Football from the players, the coaches, the news commentators, the merchandiser’s, the fans and everyone else involved?
Hail to the Chiefs! The Kansas City Chiefs! American football had its humble beginnings in the late 1900′s. The Kansas City chiefs have their origination in Texas. The team began in 1960 as the Dallas Texans until, just three years later, the owner, Lamar Hunt, moved the team to Kansas City and renamed them the Kansas City Chiefs. They then became the newest member of the American Football League (AFL). They earned their nickname “Chiefs” after the then mayor of Kansas City, Harold Bartle, who was an enthusiastic leader in the Boy Scouts of America with the nickname “Chief”.
Awarded each year to the winners of the Super Bowl, the Lombardi Trophy is the most coveted award in American football. The Super Bowl was known as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game in the early years of the event, until a merger between the American Football and National Football Leagues led to the renaming of the championship game in 1970. Likewise, in the first two championship games between the rival leagues, the Lombardi Trophy was inscribed with “World Professional Football Championship.”
