ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - The legal fight between the NFL and its players is officially over.

U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson in St. Paul, Minn., issued an order Friday that formally dismissed the antitrust lawsuit brought against the league on March 11 by a group of players headlined by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. The lockout began the next day and lasted 4½ months. The new collective bargaining agreement was signed on Aug. 5.

Nelson wrote Friday that the owners and the players "have at all times acted with the utmost integrity and in the best interests of football."

The regular season starts on Sept. 8 when the defending champion Green Bay Packers host the New Orleans Saints.
