    Knee-jerk assessment: Ending talks at a reasonable hour, talking to media separately ... not great signs for a deal.

    Obviously there's no deal because there would be a joint press conference, but nobody expected a deal to be struck today. But progress...

    Fisher: This is not a game to us. We've been willing to negotiate. Lockout could jeopardize portions if not all of our season.
