This Could Get Interesting

With the deadline for the current CBA coming up, things are getting interesting in the relationship between the players, the owners, and the league itself.

According to The New York Times, the NFL players' union is considering an interesting course o action. The union might decertify itself, a move that could expose the league to individual lawsuits by players.

That could expose the owners to potential losses. We already know that the owners are way more interested in money than in actually having a football season. Read the full story here.

Not only that, but the Times is also reporting that a federal appeals court has ruled that the league acted against the interests of the players in renegotiating TV contracts. Here's the story.

Suddenly, it might be in the owner's best interest to concede on some points and actually get a CBA with the players. I'm a fan; all I really care is that we have NFL games in September.
