I immediately thought of Charlton Heston on the beach in “Planet of the Apes” screaming, “You blew it up,” when I heard the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) without fanfare got up from mediation and exercised their nuclear option by filing for decertification.
If this were nine days ago, the original expiration date of the CBA, no one would have been shocked if this were the outcome. But after two extensions and reported progress, which included both sides showing a reluctance to use their respective weapons of decertification and lockout, every knowledgeable observer seemed to be predicting an eventual settlement, even if one could not be worked out by the second extended deadline Friday.
