This will no longer be our last memory of the NFL.

Is it time to start rejoicing?  Well, according to the magic 8-ball that is Jay Glazer and FOX Sports, all signs point to yes.  The NFL and the NFLPA appear to have agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement, with players scheduled to vote it into place today, then head to training camps to re-certify as a union on Tuesday.  That means, cue the fanfare, that professional football is back in the United States of America and the lockout is actually over!  Huzzah!

According to the new plan, training camps can begin as soon as Thursday, with 10 teams starting then, 10 more on Friday, and the final 12 kicking things off over the weekend.  Once the players resume being part of a trade union, the union and the NFL can finish the final moments of negotiation and lock down terms for drug testing, workers’ comp, and other things that can only be determined by a union according to federal trade laws.

Amazingly, not only is the NFL coming back (hopefully) today, Brett Favre is already rumored to be coming back as a back-up to Michael Vick in Philadelphia.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
