    Is that show even on the air anymore. I think the last time I sat down and watched a full episode of that was back in the mid-90's!

    Word is, negotiators ordered eight steaks about an hour ago. Based on our location, that's 0.75 percent of BRI. #NBA #lockout.....is a great line

    I wonder if the two sides argue about who gets to take care of the check.

    Turns out, the steaks were NOT sent to the negotiating room, per league source. So that BRI money is back on the table.

    A league source briefed on labor meeting within past two hours tells Y!: "No progress yet." Talks pushing past fifth hour here in NY now.

    The longer the better. That means they are moving forward on at least some issues. (Or hiding the bodies after they strangled Stern)

    Stern has no comment, except to say they're breaking for the night and meeting again on Monday afternoon

    Stern said NBA and NBPA agreed to have no comment on the five hour-plus meetings in New York on Sunday night.

    Stern: "We don't have any comment at all, other than we are breaking for the night and reconvening tomorrow afternoon."
