The NFL lockout may be over but players aren't taking anyone's patience for granted.

A group of 13 players, including San Diego Chargers Linebacker Takeo Spikes thanked fans in a video posted to NFLLockout.com.

"We know it's been a long, hard, waited-out process but in the end we all got what we wanted, which is football," Spikes said in the video.

Monday's settlement ended the NFL's longest work stoppage since 1987. And the Patriots started practice Wednesday.

Bill Littlefield, host of WBUR and NPR's Only A Game, joins us to talk about the week in sports.
