Now what?

July 4th is almost here. Thanks to the Bruins' unexpected and entertaining run to their first Cup in nearly 40 years the lack of an NFL offseason hasn't really been noticed. Till now.

June is a key month in the NFL season. Free agent signings are wrapped up so you  have a pretty good idea what the roster is going to look like come training camp. Rookies show up for workouts and to get a look at the playbook. "Optional" workouts begin in earnest, giving fans a chance to get a first look at the new players and a chance to see the progress of injured veterans.

It was in June of last year that we first learned that Wes Welker doesn't recover from major knee surgery like a normal human. He was back and running routes months before anyone ever expected to see him. It was a good sign.

There are no good signs at this moment. The hockey season is over and the lockout continues.

How are the Sox doing these days?
