Dwight Freeney doesn't believe the NFL will enter a work stoppage anytime soon. Negotiations are ongoing with the current collective bargaining agreement set to expire on Friday after two extensions. "I don't think either side wants no football. That's ridiculous," said the Colts defensive end. "I think they both understand that. Hopefully we can come to some kind of middle ground somewhere, somehow. We'll be playing football in 2011." Freeney added that players are in limbo, but must prepare as though things will go unchanged. "You want them to hurry up and get it over with, get this thing done so you can prepare for next year," he said. "I think a lot of guys understand this may drag on a little longer, but we have to prepare as if we're going to play in 2011."
