The new season of the NFL kicks off on Thursday September 8 with New Orleans at Green Bay. It’s been a long off season with the NFL lockout making headlines all summer long.
Players finally ratified the new ten-year collective bargaining agreement which lets the new season go ahead as planned. The lockout was the first since 1987 and lasted four-and-a-half months–pretty much the whole summer, and left NFL football fans wondering if the new season would actually go ahead. The Hall of Fame game between St Louis and Chicago is the only game to have been cancelled by the NFL lockout.
Anyway folks, let’s forget the past and look to the future–a bright new NFL football season to enjoy. I’m counting down the days until September 8, and can’t wait to see the Saints destroy the Packers.
