You can finally come out of your basements and put the canned goods away, gentlemen, because according to the Los Angeles Times, the NFL lockout is nearly over as players and owners finally come to a deal. All that’s left  is for the 1,900 players to vote on the deal, after which free agency and training camps can start up again.

The actual timeline is up for debate, with players and media largely speculating on when free agency might begin, estimates ranging from late Monday to Saturday, and every day in between.

Not up for debate is the notion that the four-month lockout is over and football is on the way.

How did that feel just now? Did you cream a little in your jeans? I bet you did, dude.

You heard right, boys. That means you men will be all set and ready to gain 30 pounds in nachos and beer this fall and curse at the television and pretending not to cry when your fantasy team is knocked out of the finals. Trust me, that’s when you look most attractive.
