    Carl Francis, a spokesman for the NFL Players Association, confirmed in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Friday that Indianapolis, Dallas, New Orleans and Philadelphia have all voted unanimously to decertify the union. He said union leaders were still collecting voting cards from other teams.

    Decertification would strip the union of its collective bargaining rights on behalf of the players, so the move might seem counter-intuitive. But since an rust laws exempt NFL owners from being sued by unions that are negotiating CBAs, decertification would in essence eliminate the union and allow players to sue the NFL in the event of a lockout -- giving them potential leverage in their dispute with the owners.

    Hm. Is it? I'm about over all the drama in major sports. they're all a bunch of overpaid, whiny babies.

    I'm thinking a permanent break is exactly what the doctor ordered.

    The NFL won't go a full season without playing any games. I find it hard to believe they'd willingly pass up on all the money playoff games and the Super Bowl generates and just throw it all away for a whole season. 2011 might be a shorter season but there will be football, even if that means using replacement players like they did in 87.
