We can all breathe a "Sigh" of relief. The NBA it looks like will have its refs back for if not the opening game then sometime shortly thereafter. According to multiple reports, there is a tentative agreement in place that will allow them to return to the game that...well...we all have at least an interest in.
The league has been playing there exhibition season with replacement refs. Guys who...well apparently have been somewhat less than successful in their jobs to this point. There have been multiple coaches ejected, players fined and others just generally angry over the job...or what they would say is the lack of a job that the "Replacements" have done.

The season starts its 10 month run beginning, I believe next week, so they better get this going here pretty soon. As we all know, they play such meaningful games in the NBA in November so that one team will be able to say that they won it all by the end of July. Whooops...sorry the sarcasm is flowing a bit stronger than normal this morning...but you know what I am talking about here.
