Default CBS's Mike Freeman: "Deal will be reached within matter of days"

NFL source: Labor negotiations 80-85 percent complete - NFL - CBSSports.com Football

Salient points:

Quote:
One source with intimate knowledge of the discussions tells me negotiations are 80-85 percent complete. They've made such fast progress, I'm told, it's catching many of the principals by surprise. Some are now canceling vacations, believing an agreement will be reached within a matter of days.
Quote:
The tone of the meetings has taken such a dramatic turn it has indeed been like a different set of gatherings. The players, I'm told, had no trust in anything ownership said during the initial mediation sessions but that has completely changed. Different proposals are exchanged almost daily. The two sides are, well, finally and heartily negotiating.

CBS--that's a bit better a source than a paper from Andover, Mass.

That would be awesome; though someone tweeted Breer asking what he thought of the report and he responded "I say that's going overboard." I wouldn't mind Freeman being right just this once.

So I'm at Best Buy spending major 4 figures updating my home theater from its 2001 configuration and this geeky 50 something guy goes on a rant about the lockout citing his girlfriend's obsession with the NFL. Spot on target he bemoans the 9 billion dollar NFL's attainment as #1 in sports popularity and what, they're kicking their fans in the teeth. It is SO important for the NFL if it wishes to transition from 10 figure revenue to 11 to fix this BS now and avoid MLB redux.

Make it so.
So say we all.

The good news is that Freeman's sources during this whole thing have been pretty accurate. The better news is his sources appear to be on the players' side who always have been far less optimistic and rosey with their spin on negotiations than the owners' side has been.
