Yes, the owners can agree to just extend the current terms for another season, which means 2011 would be another uncapped year and we wouldn't miss football. Likewise, the union can decertify and file an anti-trust lawsuit, saying the league cannot act in collusion with one another and enforce a blanket contract to all of the players. The owners can try and block this by calling BS, which it is. They can point to the 1987 CBA where the union decertified and then recertified. The owners could also force the players to strike by saying, "This is our best and last offer- Take it or leave it." The union can try and call BS on it and force it to arbitration, but ultimately the players will wind up going on strike rather than actually being locked out.</blockquote>
