There'll be days and days to digest all the details of the NFL's new labor agreement, one that assures peace for the next decade while also accepting significant change.
But hey, take it from the guy who's wasted away his weekend on 'A Football Life' reruns, we'll have those days and days to do all that.
What I love most about this agreement, ratified Saturday and announced this Sunday morning, is the dynamic, arguably diabolical approach that Roger Goodell, DeMaurice Smith and all involved took toward getting it done: They blew right by Aaron Rodgers, J.J.

I won't profess to being some sports labor historian, but if that's happened before in my lifetime, I don't recall it.
