The NFL lockout is almost over with. The owners have voted 31-0 (Raiders abstained) on a new 10-year collective bargaining agreement (CBA). Now it’s up to the players the NFL Players Association to vote on this new CBA, and we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled football season. The vote is to take place sometime tomorrow, but Players have until Tuesday to vote. GO RAVENS!

Here are some details:

The group provided few details. Goodell announced that the Hall of Fame game would be cancelled. Much of the framework from the old CBA remains in place with regards to tagging franchise players and a salary cap. Minimum salaries are headed up and a more restrictive rookie wage pool will be in place. The announcement included lots of self-congratulating about what a great job all the owners did to get this deal done and how hard everyone worked. Done deal right, right? At least according to Goodell who said, “I just spoke to DeMaurice probably 20 minutes ago. He’s going to go take care of his business.”

And entire store though?!

But while the stores are fake, the Apple products inside are real.

“It doesn’t make much of a difference for us whether we’re authorized or not,” the employee told the Journal. “I just care that what I sell every day are authentic Apple products, and that our customers don’t come back to me to complain about the quality of the products.”
