So at last it seems the the NFL's Pointless Break is about to come to an end, as the lifting of the lockout that never needed to happen seems imminent.

Indeed, as early as this afternoon, teams might be free to re-up their free agents and thus start the dominoes falling in the who-goes-where game.

And just in time, too. Lord knows we've waited long enough to find out where Brett "Retiring? I Never Said I Was Retiring" Favre will wind up.

(Update: The NFL has announced that teams may begin transactions tomorrow).
