Football is back. Almost.
Today, the NFL Players Association's executive committee is expected to approve the 10-year collective bargaining deal. The owners approved it last week.
That means that doors would be opened to players this week and training camp would start on Friday.
This is a good story to localize:
• Talk to a lawyer or an expert in the law profession and get their take on how this deal came together, how complicated it was and why it took so long?
• Talk to fans and find out if they were ever concerned that Sundays wouldn't include football this year? What would they have done with their Sundays?
• Once the agreement is signed, free agency will start and it should be wild. Ask readers, of the Top 10 free agents, who they think their team should go after. A good poll or Facebook question.
• Reach out to a sporting store and find out if NFL material should now start moving off shelves and what the impact would have been if there wouldn't have been a season, concerning sales?
