On Thursday the NFL owners voted 31-0 with the Oakland Raiders abstaining to ratify a new collective bargaining agreement that withh run until 2020.

Only problem is that the players hadn't signed off on it yet before the NFL owners conducted their quickie vote.and started crowing about  how great the new agreement is to the press.

Of course the players have every right to be wary about what the owners voted on, and it is wise that they are taking their time to go through it with an electron microscope if necessary.   It will probably take them longer than the Tuesday deadline the owners set to sort the legalese out and see if this is a good and fair deal for them.

Hey, as long as the 2011 NFL season kicks off in September on time, I'm all for it.

TransGriot Update: Not long after I posted this, the players voted to accept the CBA deal and the lockout was over
