Around the Dawg Pound: Monday Afternoon Links

Could it be? Could the NFL lockout finally be nearing its end? If you believe the latest news, that could very well be the case. Both the NFL and NFL Players Association are looking to have a deal ready to ratify during the July 21 league meetings in Atlanta.

There is still a lot of work to be done, so until an actual deal is in place and I see players working out with coaches at training camps, I will be very, very cautious in my optimism.
