    The 32 player representatives voted unanimously Monday afternoon to approve the deal agreed to by both sides hours earlier. The vote now goes as a recommendation to the 10 plaintiffs in Brady antitrust lawsuit, who have agreed to sign off on the settlement. A joint press conference with NFL PLayers Association executive director DeMaurice Smith and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is expected shortly. Flanked by the 13-man executive committee outside the NFLPA headquarters, Smith announced the players' vote that essentially put an end to the four-and-a half-month lockout. "To our fans, I know that you love this game as much as I do. And I know it has been a very long process, since the day that we stood here that night in March. But our guys stood together when nobody though we would and football is back because of it," Smith said. Smith and Goodell reportedly signed the deal prior to the joint press conference.

    The folks at EA have a lot of cramming to do to get these rosters updated before the August 30th release of Madden 12.
