Millions of anxious football fans have been waiting for 132 days to answer this question: Are you ready for some football? The answer is yes after the NFL and NFL Players Association agreed to a new ten year deal.

Thats right. Lockout over. Football guaranteed for the next ten years.

The league was celebrating the new deal yesterday, while also showing appreciation to New England Patriots Owner Robert Kraft. Even though his wife Myra Kraft passed away last week, Kraft continued to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement to guarentee a full season of football for the 2011-2012 regular season.

The only game canceled was the Chicago Bears versus the St. Louis Rams preseason game, which was this year’s Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio.

With the season set to start on September 8th, FPTV is happy to announce the return of Ground Pound for season three. The weekly NFL review show will have new episodes every Tuesday with game recaps and game previews similar to the previous two seasons.

“Its such a relief to have the season back on schedule. Not only from a fan’s perspective, but also from an analyst’s point of view as well,” said Ground Pound analyst Mike Davies.

Season Two Super Bowl Preview Show

Because of the free agent frenzy occurring for the next couple of weeks, Ground Pound will film a new episode within the first week of returning to Franklin Pierce University for the 2011 fall semester. The first episode will include a free agent summary, a review of the preseason, a look ahead at week one of the regular season, and an early prediction of the super bowl champions.

Ground Pound is also looking for a third analyst after former analyst Andrew Berger graduated this past May. If you are interested in being on Ground Pound, please email connorsje@live.franklinpierce.edu.

In the end, fans around the world can take a sigh of relief now that our Sundays will be filled with football again.
