So, who had the NFL lockout being resolved before the Debt Ceiling talks?
Of course, most Americans would be upset about no football this fall more than they would if the economy falls apart—no one seems to be exactly sure what would happen if the U.S. defaults on its debts, but the country would definitely go to shit if there's no pro football on Sundays as the leaves change color—so clearly the more important battle over ridiculous amounts of money got done first.
Or at least it proves that some organization with opposing sides grasps that if they cannot come to some agreement in time, everybody involved loses.

I was rather hoping they wouldn't resolve the lockout. Then the owners would lose money, and the players would have to go get real jobs that hopefully wouldn't destroy their bodies by the time they're 35.
