You could almost hear a collective sigh of relief from millions of people and businesses across the country this week when the NFL officially ended the lockout.  Players may now enter practice facilities and coaches can finally begin to start on work that normally gets taken care of in the spring.  Coaches will quickly realize which players worked hard during the time off.  It will be obvious which players take their profession seriously.  Adversely, there will be several players that did not stay in shape during the break and will have a slow start to say the least.  Look for the coaches across the NFL to intensify their efforts in an attempt to get their teams ready for the 2011-12 NFL season.
