“@JasonLaCanfora: Deal with refs isn't imminent anymore... *It's done! Regular refs are working Browns/Ravens Thurs. Check @CBSSports for more”
So now what will we complain about?

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8429885/report-nfl-officials-reach-agreement-end-lockoutKey Terms of Agreement
The NFL and the NFLRA reached an agreement at midnight Thursday. Here's a breakdown of the key terms, as provided in a league-issued statement:
• Eight-year term covering the 2012-19 seasons.
• The current defined benefit pension plan will remain in place for current officials through the 2016 season (or until the official earns 20 years of service). The defined benefit plan will then be frozen.
• Retirement benefits will be provided for new hires, and for all officials beginning in 2017, through a defined contribution arrangement, which will have two elements: an annual league contribution made on behalf of each game official that will begin with an average of more than $18,000 per official and increase to more than $23,000 per official in 2019, and a partial match on any additional contribution that an official makes to his 401(k) account.
• Apart from their benefit package, the game officials' compensation will increase from an average of $149,000 per year in 2011 to $173,000 in 2013, rising to $205,000 by 2019.
• Beginning with the 2013 season, the NFL will have the option of hiring a number of officials on a full-time basis to work year-round, including on the field.
• The NFL will have the option to retain additional officials for training and development purposes, and may assign those additional officials to work NFL games. The number of additional officials will be determined by the NFL.
Officials blowing calls the way they usually do? :shrug:
I actually could see this happening...looks like the Pats will go undefeated the rest of the way ROFLoke:
Amazing how fast this got settled after the last weekend of bad calls.
Its a shame that teams had to have games taken away by piss poor calls
for this to happen
now all that has to happen is for the regular refs to come back and put this crazy train back on the rails.
Looks like they bent the nfl over and won the labor battle hands down. It's good to know that none of them will be working in a coal mine while jerry jones lights cigars with hundred dollar bills. The american system of collective bargaining has been once again proven to be a successful, albeit frustrating, way of spreading the wealth fairly to those unappreciated, valuable employees who help make a healthy industry functional.
It'll be interesting to see if the damage done to the entire nfl has any effect on the playoff picture, but before long the cluster fvck that was the refauxrees will be forgotten and the entire nfl will once again be like a giant lollipop house on a prime corner lot of gumdrop lane.
