49ers end workouts; Vick gets a deal; more football news in this edition!

Everyone�s anxious about the NFL Lockout. When will it end? Will it affect games? Hell, will there even be a season next year? I got all those questions (and more) answered in this edition of The Sportz Guru.

49ers, Smith end informal workouts
Let�s start with some 49er�s news. Yesterday, the San Fran 49ers officially wrapped up their informal workouts. The workouts were obviously �informal� because the lockout isn�t allowing them to work out the way they usually would. I�ve heard through the grapevine that Alex Smith�s taught as much as Jin Harbaugh�s West Coast offense as he possibly can. He also feels that these workouts puts the 49ers a step ahead of the competition, mainly because some of the other teams didn�t have informal workouts like the 49ers did. These workouts were held at San Jose State, and they did NOT include defensive players; only offensive. It really sounds like Smith�s taking the team on his back here and becoming the leader we all thought he�d be. Now if he can only perform better in the actual GAME, then people would start to realize this guy is for real. I like this idea by Smith; just get the guys workin a bit, doesn�t have to be full on-contact drills, but at least get �em workin so when the lockout ends and trainting camp starts they�re close to being ready.

Smiths's effort during this lockout is surely appreciated by 9er fans across the USA. Photo Cred http://helmet2helmet.net

Nike re-signs Vick to an endorsement deal
In other news, Nike re-signed Michael Vick to an endorsement deal yesterday. This comes four years after dropping him for his problems with the law. As you may recall, Vick served 21 months in prison after admitting his involvement in a dog fighting ring. �Vick was voted The Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year after missing two seasons and playing sparingly in 2009�(Credit ESPN.com). What a comeback indeed. Even though a TON of people still hate on him, but I have much respect for a guy that admits he�s guilty, especially when he knows he�s getting a ton of time in the slammer. What do you think of Vick? Do you think Nike did good signing him or do you think they should�ve not signed him?

NFL Lockout questions
Now I�ll get to the questions I mentioned above. The lockout will end; in fact I�ll even tell you when! It will end during the month of July, mark in on the calendar baby, cuz Goodell and Smith are pretty damn close! It will NOT affect any games during the 2011-2012 season. Obviously, if it the lockout ends this month, there�s gonna be a season, so that question is already answered for us.

Have questions, problem with what I said, answers, anything? COMMENT.

How the heck do you know that the lockout will end this month? ..lmao. Unless you work for either one of them, i cant get my hopes up on something you think you know; i need hard evidence; and a lockout lifted before i rejoyce and start doing cartwheels.
Dude, you are a piece of work...lol

Btw; their is a possibility that you could be right, if you are a bazillionaire and are willing to give the players what they want and the owners what they want! lol
cheers
