Times Square talks break for dinner, before possible late-night session


Previously, it appeared that the lawyers would work early into the evening in order to complete a draft of the labor deal, which will be presented to the players for discussion and debate on Wednesday.
It now looks like it’s going to take a little longer.
Albert Breer of NFL Network reports via Twitter that the two sides, negotiating at a law firm in Times Square, broke for dinner earlier in the hour (La Famiglia, anyone?), and that they’ll thereafter reconvene.
“Looks like a long night ahead,” Breer said.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported the same thing, which means it’s only a matter of time before Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports, citing an unnamed high-level source from some organization connected to the situation, that everything Schefter and Breer just said is wrong.
UPDATE:  Breer now reports that the lawyers’ work is largely done, and that the remainder of the evening will focus on dotting i’s and crossing t’s.
