Reggie Bush On Saints Drafting Mark Ingram: 'It's Been Fun New Orleans'

One New Orleans Saints player doesn't seem to be happy with his team's draft selection in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft.

After the Saints traded their way into the opening round and picked Alabama running back Mark Ingram, Reggie Bush tweeted, "It's been fun New Orleans."
"Congrats to Mark Ingram on being selected to New Orleans," he tweeted a few hours after his farewell message. "He will be a great addition to the Saints backfield just as he was in Alabama."

NFL Lockout Ordered Lifted By Judge

Farmer NFL players saw the labor fight tip in their favor Monday as a federal judge ordered the league to end its lockout, meaning football will continue while owners and players bicker over.
But the lockout has killed the momentum and there is no way in the world the ratings will match last year. The NFL is really shooting itself in the foot with this lockout and millions of dollars will be lost because of it.
The NFL is expected to appeal the ruling, handed down today by U.S. District Court Judge Susan Richard Nelson, that grants players' request for a preliminary injunction to lift an owner-imposed lockout that began March 11.
The Packers are still looking for some face time with President Obama after being snubbed prior to the NFC Championship game with the Bears. Obama was an Illinois Senator and Chicago Bears fan. Packers Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Woodson called out Obama after winning the championship, saying "Guess What? We're gonna see him.
Owners imposed the lockout after talks broke down on March 11 and the players disbanded their union. The players say the lockout is causing irreparable harm to their careers. A group of players filed the injunction request along with an antitrust lawsuit
f it's not...well, then we could have an interesting situation on our hands. The lockout would remain lifted but the CBA has expired so what happens with free agency, trades, and other normal parts of NFL life isn't clear.
