       Actually they are OTA's.  And I think the Lions are starting
       theirs next Wednesday.  Unless of course the NFL wins their
       appeal then they will all be cancelled.

       Bears plan to start offseason program May 9

       LAKE FOREST, Ill. – The Bears plan to start their offseason
       program a week from Monday (May 9) and conduct their rookie
       minicamp May 6-8 and their full-squad minicamp June 3-5 at Halas
       Hall.
       
       Matt Forte and his Bears teammates can return to Halas Hall at 7
       a.m. Friday.
       Those dates were set Thursday after the NFL had notified its
       clubs that they could resume operations at 7 a.m. Friday.
       
       At that time, players will be permitted to enter team facilities
       to work out, receive medical treatment, meet with coaches, watch
       tape and pick up playbooks.
       
       The Bears' offseason program originally was supposed to begin on
       Monday, April 11.
       
       It still has not yet been determined when the official league
       year will begin, which means that free agency remains on hold.
       Teams also cannot sign undrafted free agents or trade players
       under contract.
       
       The situation remains fluid and could change at any time. The
       Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis still may
       grant the NFL a stay of the lockout.
       
       U.S. District Judge Susan Nelson on Wednesday denied the
       league’s request for a stay of her Monday ruling that lifted the
       lockout. If the lockout is reinstated, players would again be
       prohibited from entering team facilities.

       The lock out is over for now.  The NFL is appealing to a higher
       court.   It could be over for good or be back on in a few weeks.

       Funniest thing I read on PFT was from a comment under an Al
       Davis picture.  "Just die baby" I think I spit coffee on the
       laptop with that one.

       Appeals court reinstates lockout, during draft
       Posted by Mike Florio on April 29, 2011, 6:56 PM EDT
       
       AP
       Earlier today, ESPN reported that the U.S. Court of Appeals for
       the Eighth Circuit had granted the NFL’s request for a temporary
       stay of the ruling lifting the lockout, until the Eighth Circuit
       could rule on the request for a less-temporary stay of the
       ruling while the league’s appeal is considered.
       
       As it turns out, the report wasn’t wrong.  It was just
       premature.
       
       Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the temporary stay has been
       granted, which means that the lockout is back on.  For now.
       
       It’ll be interesting to see whether Commissioner Roger Goodell
       confirms the news from the podium at Radio City Music Hall.
       
       The assembled fans wouldn’t be booing in response.  They’d be
       chanting “Goooooodell.”
       
       Meanwhile, the teams that were smart enough to distribute
       playbooks today — and all 32 of them should have done it — will
       have an edge if the lockout ends up remaining in place until
       August or later.

       If you really value football being played on time this year
       thats a real blow. If the appeals court restores the lockout
       permanently it will be the end of football this year
       I want to see real NFL football this year not scab football.
