Well, that didn’t take long.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello quickly responded to the statement released by Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Drew Brees that said “it is time” to get a deal done.
“We share the view that now is the time to reach an agreement so we can all get back to football and a full 2011 season. We are working hard with the players’ negotiating team every day to complete an agreement as soon as possible,” Aiello wrote via Twitter as an NFL comment.
So that’s settled. Both sides agree it’s time for a deal.
And don’t worry guys: Both sides will get their share of the blame if it doesn’t happen.
