NFL players have scheduled a 6 p.m. MT conference call with the NFLPA Executive Committee and player representatives. If an agreement can be reached, it would bring an end to the more than four-month-long lockout.
The owner-led proposal to play an 18-game regular season had been taken off the table early in the negotiations, yet, the deal calls for the two sides to revisit the issue in 2013.
Saturday - The league year would commence at 2 p.m. with teams able to sign free agents and officially open training camp.

I'm glad the 18-game proposal is off the table. It's a brutal game, there shouldn't be more than there already are (I think they should get rid of 2 pre-season games too - they're worthless).
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

agree....I would rather see informal scrimmages than pre-season games.
There is nothing like watching an NFL game and enjoying the full NFL season. If the players hold out for more there may not be a 2011 season and that will be very sad. There however some alternatives, it's not the same as NFL football and I have a hard time picking a team that I like but at least it's football:

If you get ESPN3 you can watch the games, I'm still looking for an online option that is free.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
