So much uncertainty remains when it comes to the NFL’s ever-fluid labor situation, but as we head into a Friday that will likely rank among the most significant days in the history of owner-player relations in major professional sports, this much is clear: For football fans, the hours between now and midnight Saturday will either be awful or awesome, and probably nowhere in between.

After a tumultuous Thursday that included the threat of union decertification, an apparent move toward a tentative deal and a hastily arranged 24-hour extension of the collective bargaining agreement, owners and NFL Players Association officials regrouped and readied themselves for a Friday that will likely define the immediate future of their thriving business.

I highly suggest you read the whole thing, it's on the link up top, needless to say, today is a very important day.
 
That is a nice article, and very encouraging. The part about getting back to the pre-Tags concession in 2006 is pretty interesting.

I've had in the back of my mind this whole time that I wondered if the owners never really would go through with a lockout, but simply talked extremely tough this whole time just to get the players to concede some things. They win in that they're better off than they were before, which wasn't really all that bad. They could try it without losing anything -- at worse, the players wouldn't give up anything and things would go on like they had been.
 
As folks know, I'm not the most optimistic person in the world when it comes to football matters, but this recent news has definitely given this fan optimism that both sides are working hard to get a deal done.

No, seriously, it's true!

I'm not always the picture of sunny optimism that you might otherwise think!
