^Perhaps I'm not getting it. Because both parties could not come to an agreement I was under the impression for atleast the last few yrs both sides have been working under an agreed upon earlier CBA, ie; the 2006 CBA. The reason the owners would have let the CBA expire a couple of months ago was because they felt it was a more player friendly CBA and they want a more even keel CBA. The players don't want to give that up.

In any event it was my understanding that both sides agreed to work under the 2006 CBA in order to keep football going and give them more time to negotiate. So although I'm not "getting it" I was pretty sure there was a CBA for which the players decertified 6 hrs prior to the deadline of an agreed upon deadline.

Again I could be wrong but I was pretty sure there was a CBA that both sides were playing under that both sides agreed to use up until about a couple of months ago when the players chose to decertify.

So your second excuse for the players is they had to file prior to 5pm? When technically they could have waited until the next day after the deadline? Good arguement. Although had they waited there probably would not be any issue's about whether they decertified illegally. I'm soo glad I'm just not getting "it".
