We're almost there: NFL owners approve new CBA

Roger Goodell makes the announcement that the NFL owners agree to the new Collective Bargaining Agreement. The end of the lockout pends approval from the players union.

The owners are first to cross the finish line here and that helps their image. The players may not be willing to flip the switch just yet. Expect them to want their remaining issues to be given some attention before voting for the new CBA. Understand that they are in a situation where every hour that goes by may cost them support of public opinion. Fans should welcome the new season satisfied that one organization knows how to compromise.

It won't be long now. Expect to watch the preseason into the regular season on-time.
