if this is accurate, and that's "the plan" doesn't that indicate the NFLPA is not bargaining in good faith?

Actually a decertification will almost guarantee a season. The reason the NFLPA are decertifying is to block the NFL from locking them out.

Deus Irae

They have to decertify prior to the expiration of the CBA (in this case, the agreed upon extension), or the rules on the ground change in the owners favor.

I belive the deadline for them to decertify is 5pm today so I don't think notifying the members 2 hours prior is an issue.

Its very unlikely there will be a 2011 season.

The NFLPA will decertify, sue the owners and the owners will counter sue the players. Lawyers get paid by the hour.

Any lawsuit will be fast tracked because of the interest to the public. Besides, the league would pretty fast have to get a judge to say the league made a good faith effort in negotiation to block the decertification or the league year starts at 5PM today (assuming the NFLPA decertifies). The league would keep going while the lawsuits go.

Does not follow.
Players could still play if owners then continued business as of their last best offer. Still WAY too many variables to make a call. What will happen should the NFLPA decertify is that the rhetoric will get very heated and things will look much much worse in the short term.
