Lockout over!!!
 
Now how long will it take for people to claim these guys are not good enough?

It's about time!

And I guess tomorrow night as a regular crew is working the game tomorrow.

And the officials will be working this weeks games including tomorrow according to some reports on ESPN. So we will see how that works out.

Peace

Pretty Good......
 
NFL gives into public pressure and does right thing by bringing back regular officials - Yahoo! Sports

"After three weeks of blown calls, no calls and reversed calls; of physical contact and verbal intimidation; of confused Vegas bookmakers and infuriated fantasy players; and less than 48 hours after what is perhaps the most bizarre ending to a football game not involving a Stanford trombone player, the NFL and the NFL Referees Association reached an agreement Wednesday."

Hate to be that first crew that has to scramble to Baltimore on less than 24 hours notice.

The report I heard said the officials had been taking rules quizzes and getting fitted for uniforms earlier in the week. It might not have been confirmed, but it wasn't 24 hours notice.

Oh goodie now we can get back to the media and fans whining about the regulars.

Lockout lifted; Regular officials working tonight
 
I've read 3 or 4 news reports, and this is the gist: there is an agreement in principle, but not ratified. However, the lockout has been lifted (much like I predicted) and the regular officials are working tonight's game, as well as those this Sunday. Don't know about this weekend, but it appears the crew tonight was put together solely for this game.

I'm glad that the dispute has been largely settled and we will never see a controversial call in the NFL again.
