NFL lockout jeopardizing Sunday rest at our house

Will Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie be wearing Philadelphia Eagles' midnight green?

Sunday is a day of rest at our house.

It’s what I believe, anyway.

My wife believes otherwise.

Somehow Saturday’s “Honey Do’s” always manage to spill over to the following day, as well.

Which is why I wish the NFL would settle its lockout once and for all and get this football season going.

There are other reasons, of course.

Like not having to look at Cowboy owner Jerry Jones’s stone face every five minutes on ESPN.

Or finding out which NFL team grabs ex-Bayshore Bruin Fabian Washington, a free agent cornerback.

Or seeing whether Lakewood Ranch High alum Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie gets traded to my Philadelphia Eagles.

After sporting sweet-looking Arizona Cardinal jerseys the last three years, his family could be rocking the cornerback’s No. 29 in midnight green.

Me, too.
