“Cadel, we love you! Aussie, Aussie, Aussie — Oy, Oy, Oy!” hundreds of passionate, Australian fans chanted in unison.

Yes, a Tour de France champion has been crowned. Australian born Cadel Evans, 34, has become the first Aussie ever to win the Tour as well as the oldest winner since before World War II. According to ESPN, it has been a long time coming for…

WHO CARES! The lockout finish line is within sight! NFL season is nearly upon us!

Via Twitter:

JasonJWilde: “So the @NFLPA will vote Monday to accept CBA, players will vote during week, and we’ll have free agency next weekend — as camps open? Fun!”

mortreport (Christ Mortensen): “De Smith and Roger Goodell have worked directly to assure that nothing goes off path. Exec committee called this a.m. Expect presser Monday”

AdamSchefter:  ”Some finishing touches to Clayton and Mort’s story: deal is getting done and football is coming back. http://alturl.com/47nfw …Welcome back, football.”

“Get your popcorn ready.”

    Have I mentioned how much I love the Twitter recaps by Rich? Absolutely my favorite read the day after a Packers game. This was like a teaser for the soon to be here season. Cannot. Wait!

    By the way, did you know that Wally said you were personally responsible for tracking all of my tweets for a daily recap? Better get busy

      Thanks, John. In a day when reading is essentially all but disappearing as anything worth delving into is adapted to the big screen, it’s refreshing to hear.

      Oh, and about tracking your tweets for a daily recap:

      “Can’t wait!” :)

    Wilde might have said it was fun, but I guarantee Paula Wilde was cursing as she dismantled her shrine to the “I hate football and want the lockout to last forever” gods. ;)

    Keep popping up Rich! I’ve missed you!
