The Lockout is Over

To tell the truth, I only watch football during thanksgiving at my granparents' house and even then, only out of boredom or if the youngsters don't wanna watch a movie. This applies to any other holiday that falls into the football season.

I'm riding with the Dallas Cowboys until the wheels fall off.

I've been a Dallas fan since my time at Rice University, which I must confess has been heartbreaking in recent years...

If they do better than the Eagles this year, that's all I ask.

This year is going to be interesting with the late start to training camp and the reduced practices written into the new labor agreement. It literally could be anybody's year.

I'm happy it's over because then I can work concessions for Bears training camp now

It would rock if the Superbowl came down to the Cowboys and the Texans.

That would be pretty cool, but I just can't see the Texans putting it all together any time soon.

Good thing to know there will be a season. Teams have less time to prepare for this season, but this could make things interesting. All in all, we will see which teams will be able to handle this pressure better and which won't. I am a Bills fan, so maybe they will have a shot at finally making the playoffs, which has been the longest drought of any team in the league, I believe. It would also be great to finally see them beat the Patriots after so many years.

I was less worried about the games than I was about the people behind the scenes who would be out of jobs if the season was locked out. How bad would that suck if you were an equipment manager, or an arena staff worker who depended on the league for your livelihood, and it turns out you don't get a paycheck this year because a bunch of millionaires couldn't figure out how much extra cash they got?

Lets go skins!! I know we will suck but hey its football time!

With Sexy Rexy as quarterback? It'll be another dismal year. 4-10, at best.

And that's really terrible considering it's a 16 game season.

You are clearly unfamiliar with the levels of suckage the redskins can bring to the table.

Considering they're Dallas's arch-rival, I'm fairly familiar with their shortfalls.
