The Facts:
Colts owner Jim Irsay has targeted early July as the necessary flashpoint for getting a new collective bargaining agreement in place.
Reported by the Indianapolis Star News
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
That would, Irsay said, provide ample time for the NFL's normal progression: training camp, preseason, a full regular season and Super Bowl XLVI, tentatively scheduled for Feb. 5 at Lucas Oil Stadium. "There's a window where we can get something done,' Irsay said, "but we really need to get something done by the Fourth of July or thereabouts so we can get in and have training camp and preseason and get ready that way. There has to be some real urgency to get this thing resolved and really have a full season with a training camp and preseason games. It would be very unfortunate if we get a deal done Oct. 1 that we could have gotten done on July 10. The losses are great if we start missing preseason games and early (regular-season) games. ..." Here's hoping others are listening to Irsay.
