Been hearing a lot of news about this desertification process and thought I'd bring some of that to light here.  Here's a link with more info.  So what does it mean?  Well, basically it allows the NFLPA to sue the NFL owners in an anti trust law suit and seek an injunction to prevent the owners from locking out the players.  This is a big risk by the NFLPA, if the judge denies their injunction request, we'll be in for long legal battle.  If they do get this injunction though, they can get things cleared up a lot quicker because unlike the current mediator, a court judge will have power to make a decision and gives the players a lot more leverage since they know they can't win right now in a lockout.
