We’re four days into this unprecedented NFL existence of a decertified union suing the league for violating the antitrust laws and the league locking out the decertified union on the basis that the union isn’t really decertified. And we’ve entered this abyss of uncertainty despite an offer from the NFL that, with all due respect to Drew Brees (whom we greatly respect), seems to be something much more than a P.R. stunt.

So why not get back to the bargaining table? The owners seem to be willing to do it. The players seem to be unwilling. Or, perhaps more accurately, the players who are willing haven’t been able to get the attention of the folks who would now be handling the negotiations, given that the context has shifted to litigation.
