NFL And PA At Crossroads, Decertification Is Your Word For The Day

And we also have guys filing suit against the league now...

Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees are among the players who have filed an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL to prevent a lockout.

Just after the players' union pulled their decertification card out of the deck, the players filed suit against the NFL in U.S. District Court. They're seeking a class-action against the league. They also filed a request for an permanent injunction that would keep the NFL and their member teams from engaging in a lockout.

Also included in the lawsuit are Vincent Jackson, Ben Leber, Logan Mankins, Brian Robison, Osi Umenyiora, Mike Vrabel, and Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller, who is entered in this year's draft.

The HQ would love to know who their collective agents are...
