The National Football League's lockout is over.

What the heck is EagleTribune?

I find it a little odd Merrimack Valley, NH has better contacts in the NFL than Jay Glazer and Adam Schefter.

Nobody else is reporting this...ESPN, CBS

I'll believe it when I see it (from a real sourcE)

I know that this is a typical "I have a friend who has a friend who has a friend who has a friend..." story but here goes.

My wife and I are very good friends with some people who do business with the Cards. Their contacts within the organization have said that the talks now are just ironing out the fine points of an agreement and it will be happening very, very soon.

For what it's worth...

Rich Eisen said on The Dan Patrick Show this morning that he expects a deal by mid-July, as well. I CBA is not a small document; it'll take some time.

A lot of fans will have gotten really angry over a late free agency period and some missed minicamps.
